I've wanted to fabricate things and repair and build hot rods but was a alcoholic for a long time and choose drinking over my dreams and now almost a year sober. I'm glad to have your videos and many others channels to watch and learn to start doing what I love. Thanks.
There’s only one guy that I would turn my project over to... Globally, Fitzee #1 globally in panel restoration, hell you should be teaching our throw away generations. H.M.S.
There's been a decade of metal shop classes just on that one car, we can't thank you enough for your patience with teaching us all your tricks and tips on "hand tool" fabrication, another beautiful repair Tony, your piece mill technics have helped me out more than you could imagine, thanks again for all your hard work and willingness to share your experience, till next time I'll be waiting.
Fitzee I have been watching your videos for years and you always amaze me with your methods and your skill. I am in Australia and I know you have a big following here. I am retired and restoring VW Beetles your methods have enabled me to do what I love without having a million dollars worth of equipment. I appreciate every thing you have done for all of us.
Tony I wish you and TH-cam was around when I was a young fella, I'm 60 now ,got lots of fabricating tools , watching you makes me want to go and buy an old car and have at her , you make it look so easy.
There's years and years of experience and you can just tell by how he talks about the gap and lines a real professional this guy, I hope to get half as good to fix my rusty rambler
Again, Thank you for showing just how simple anyone can accomplish metal work if you just look at the task your trying to do. And with a basic tools. With you showing the way to do it. Your GREAT!
Tony, you've always say that you hope the tips are good, well my son this time! you nailed it out of the park!! Your officially the Master of Tricks and Tips in my Book and I got a feeling a whole lot of fellas will agree with me on this one. cheer's bud.
I've been telling my wife about how good you are and how you teach people who no nothing about wielding ways to get to doing their own projects. So I showed her this video and she was amazed at how you took all those pieces and made that door jamb. Keep the videos coming I'm almost ready to start doing some patch work on my Caddy.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I've not done any of this yet but am about to start on my 1962 c10 and I know your teaching is going to help me so much. Thanks for teaching and sharing your skills. I agree with others, you blow us away with your skills. Keep em coming. Thanks Truck Driver Ray ✝️
Your videos are so informative that anyone with patience, enough ocd, and a mechanical/ creative mind can do this. I've built several cars but never have done the body work. Next car I'm going to do the body work also.
Tony it's work on panels like this that make you seem like a magician. How you worked the edges and then made the tricking door bottom section up was just genius. Simple, easy, perfection.
Tony, Your gap adjustement method is GREAT ! I wish I had known that when I built my '68 Chevelle. I fell into all the novice traps back then. Great vid !
Another great teaching video. great explanations, one step at a time, making a complex panel. Need to get to the salvage yard to pink up a small piece of eye beam. Thanks for the education.
Your tips are just bloody fantastic. There has been stuff I’ve seen and thought right this is a parts car. I’ve stripped and scrapped the car. But that was years ago. But now after watching quite a few of your videos. I’m looking for an old wreck to attempt to copy precisely what you’re doing.
Futzee once again brilliant video. all of us who want to build, fabricate and weld but don't have a ton of high Tec tools, learn so much from. you. thanks again for the master class of small tools, great work..
I really appreciate the nice details in your work. Doing it in a simple fashion also. Which allows us to be able to understand and do this in our small garages at home with basic tools. Thank you!!!👍👍👍
🌟Really enjoyed this episode. I've just finished fitting a new door to my '68 Ford Escort. I had to remove the wing to reshape it where it is close to the scuttle panel, and had to cut and reweld the door hinges as I had previously fitted the wing to match an old door. I can certainly appreciate your work. Fun times indeed. Kind regards 😊
Great that the skills of old masters are recorded, otherwise we would lose a lot of craft knowledge because the young ones can't be bothered with doing real stuff.
An absolute "MASTER" in the fabrication and welding in some of the most "impossible" areas to repair . Your "simple" approach to a repair encourages one to tackle the challenge straight on. A delight to watch you work "miracles" when no commercially produced repair pieces are available.
Your simplicity rocks. I have been doing this for 40 years and your technique is as good as I have seen. I have taught a few to do rust repair and the 'don't over think' approach is the best advise you can give anyone. I built my push rod blower when I was a younger lad and still use it, there is nothing better. Your channel is inspiring and enjoy every video. Thanks Stevo J
Your videos have been a great help to understand how to fabricate complex parts with basic tools! And You do very good and simple explanation as well! Thank You! Best regards, from Estonia!
Thank you Tony! Always satisfying watching you tackle tricky projects and providing informative ways to accomplish difficult tasks. Great info for novices!
After you split that metal and began tapping the seam back you could see the gap opening into a uniform shape. Is it just me or is that just cool as hell... You are pretty good at making metal conform to your will. Making it go places it didn't want to go in the first place. You have a unique way of convincing it to do that...
So very clever. I have never seen or done a repair like this. And panel alignment was impressed upon me more than 50 years ago. I only wish I was able to take my MIG welder back in time. Sure beats brass!
It always seems like some kind of voodoo magic. Then I watch the video and it comes together and logic returns to my mind. Thanks Tony, my confidence level is boosted yet again!
Fantastic video, love your work Fitz, reworking old repairs and making them factory again. Never judging only problem solving. I think I’ll buy a hat you legend.
Another fantastic episode. That repair panel for the bottom of the B post was a brilliant example of your method of breaking the task down into small, manageable elements. Thank you so much for that and all the other great tips. BTW I like the new intro, especially the way the hammer blows fall in time to the music, a nice touch. Thank you Tony!
HaHaHa Now dont that look lovely !!! Omg, what a master you are at making the most difficult tasks seem so simple !! I cant afford the space or expensive shapers other sites have , thank you Tony for making it cheaper & simpler for guys like me 😃👍👍👍
I start with body mounts. Then aligning back to front. Then mess with gaps. Sometimes the body mounts are completely rotted out. Many times much easier to add a few washers here and there and fry into place. But your gaps are perfect - I might lack your skill! And the oldest I've dealt with is 66 Ford Bronco. Thanks for the awesome videos.
The blower pushrod is an great Idea I made one way back in the early 80s just a Ford pushrod though much more powerful lol Just teasing great work. Thanks for Sharing always nice to see how others do things. Keep it coming
Your work is awesome and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge. My hubby and I watched your gap adjustment and said, wow, I never thought of that. Thank you
I still have my own 'air chuck' I made 45 years ago in High School shop class in the 1970's. I had to make something on the metal lathe for credit. Everybody else made hammers.I turned down a piece of 1" aluminum round stock and made it fit my air hose. I use it to this day. I got an "A" for creativity and my '3 fingered" shop teacher, who routinely preached safety didn't have to grade one more damn hammer. You're pushrod one seems to work very well too. Thanks for sharing.
You can tell when someone is good at what they do when you watch them work and think "I could do that, it looks easy" so you try it, and find it isn't. Fitzee makes EVERYTHING in fabrication look simple.
Another quality video as always Tony your skills and knowledge experience shine through as always great channel I also love watching the flip side too where viewers can the the many different things that you and your family and friends do when your not in the workshop keep up the amazing work see you in the next one Fitzee ♥️

Also watching and learning here in Adelaide. I agree with all of your comments 👍

75 here, same thoughts. I don’t have anything rusty, except me😊
Tony..You are just amazing.. Your skill at rebuilding those body gaps is simply mind blowing. Thank you for sharing with us.
There's years and years of experience and you can just tell by how he talks about the gap and lines a real professional this guy, I hope to get half as good to fix my rusty rambler

136,000 subscribers! That makes you one of the top fab instructors out there. I just wish I could have had you instructing me like this 40 years ago!
You;re a true artist. Great video and impressive work.
I'm really happy you do so much by hand instead of expensive machines I can't afford
Fitzzee transitioning top craft into high art by using simple tools not overthinking it. Thank you very much for sharing all this.
🤟😎👍
You never fail to educate and entertain, Tony. Thanks for the tips!
The knack you have for simplifying things is amazing, Tony! I was overwhelmed just watching 😂
Same mate. I was like " daym !!! 😊
im making a patch in my 95 civic right now and this video just helped me so much thank you for your expertise !! God bless you
This is the most educational channel and hands on I've ever seen!! I love this channel!! Number one fan here sir!!!
Your videos are so informative that anyone with patience, enough ocd, and a mechanical/ creative mind can do this. I've built several cars but never have done the body work. Next car I'm going to do the body work also.
I can’t say what has already been said. TY for sharing your skill!! Another vid that’s going into my save folder for future reference!!!!!!!
The tips were great and you made that transition look like it came from the factory. Your explanations are pure gold.
Tony it's work on panels like this that make you seem like a magician. How you worked the edges and then made the tricking door bottom section up was just genius. Simple, easy, perfection.

I’m glad that old custom is getting dolled up. Between you, lazzie and Carl and a couple others, I’ve learned a ton.
Without doubt the most skilled body builder on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed your video very informative and interesting I have a 66 Mustang coupe that I've had since 1977
Your tips are just bloody fantastic. There has been stuff I’ve seen and thought right this is a parts car. I’ve stripped and scrapped the car. But that was years ago. But now after watching quite a few of your videos. I’m looking for an old wreck to attempt to copy precisely what you’re doing.
I love watching your channel. You make the impossible possible
Another excellent video.👍 I always learn alot watching your videos, thanks.
Good evening,i just love watching a guy without a million dollars worth of high tec equipment do as good a job if not better then the ones that do.
Futzee once again brilliant video. all of us who want to build, fabricate and weld but don't have a ton of high Tec tools, learn so much from. you. thanks again for the master class of small tools, great work..

Perfect timing, just about to attack bottom of doors. you make it look so simple yet your work is outstanding.
Tony you always prove that necessity is the mother of invention… another great vid🤠👍
So good!!! I learn so much in a short time with you, THANK YOU!!!
Great that the skills of old masters are recorded, otherwise we would lose a lot of craft knowledge because the young ones can't be bothered with doing real stuff.
Thanks Tony,I'm finally understanding the multi piece approach to these repairs
I'm doing the same to wife's impala hinge pillars. Will be stronger than factory with the welds behind as well. Thanks mate great video again.
This man is a wealth of knowledge and skill. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience and perspective.
I've said it before,best TH-cam channel going
A beautiful demonstration and explanation. Thank you for taking the trouble to show us these techniques.

Bugger me Fitzee you make it look so eazy. The video was 100% great. 👍
you make it look so easy but with your years of skill thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Discovered this channel a few weeks ago and have become addicted. Amazing skills, compulsive watching.
Your simplicity rocks. I have been doing this for 40 years and your technique is as good as I have seen.

tHIS INFO IS PURE gold!! tHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOW HOW WITH THE WORLD
That's the best approach to gap adjusting I've ever seen. Thanks Fitzee.
This man has the patience of Job! Fitzee, you're a great teacher. You make me feel like I can do it myself.
Big thanks for your vids. I used a bunch of your techniques to save my van. ❤
After you split that metal and began tapping the seam back you could see the gap opening into a uniform shape. Is it just me or is that just cool as hell... You are pretty good at making metal conform to your will. Making it go places it didn't want to go in the first place. You have a unique way of convincing it to do that...
Great instruction geared to the weakest link in the chain to surpass fear of trying. DON’T Overthink it…would make a great Fitzee T-shirt
So very clever. I have never seen or done a repair like this. And panel alignment was impressed upon me more than 50 years ago. I only wish I was able to take my MIG welder back in time. Sure beats brass!
