I am an old retired horodder, now bedridden. I always look forward to watching your videos, its like going down memory lane. Content is never boring! My soul says "Let's go to work", my body says "Oh No you don't"😂 Never boring videos, already waiting for the next one! Great tips and content!
Getting ready to paint Crusty's frame... Fitzee eyeballs his paint mixing table, something is missing...🤔 He ponders and thinks "Where's the Beef🫣?!?" Thanks for sharing your sheeny day👍.
Crusty is looking good. Salt beef with cabbage, carrot, turnip, potatoes, that was Sunday dinner at my parents house growing up. You’re got to get some pictures of Wendy’s Mustang out on the lawn it was looking good at the end of the video out by your house 👍
That's yet another step towards completion of this one of a kind Corolla that's hiding a secret under its stock appearance. One thing I noticed when you were painting the frame was that you had a very wide fan on the spray. A few years ago, I painted my trailer frame and I had a narrow fan on the spray. That puts more paint on the job and less over-spray.
Thanks Tony ! Not boring at all just normal stuff that's necessary; any thing you do is spending time with a friend and learning a bit in the process! 😁😁
Fitzee, I've never seen a video of yours that was boring! Even if it's sanding and painting. To bad you don't live in my area, or me live in your area, would really enjoy actually working with you to learn from you! Videos are good to learn from but actually working with you to learn from you, well, that would be tops!! Keep them coming and I'll keep watching.
Dedication has got to be your middle name! Looks good an important milestone has been reached. I got to find a couple buckets of Lighthouse Beef to make my day!
I haven't mix paint with gas in a very long time. But I done it too. Lol. Loosest shine quick. Great idea for patina job. Don't know what todays gas would do.
Tony, your vision, and focus are astounding! I look up to you sir, and I hope that one day, I can accomplish even half of the impressive fab projects that you have! And I will be happy and content, if they turn out even half as good as yours! You’re an amazing person, and I’m grateful for you, and your channel! You’re a true craftsman, in every sense of the word!!!! God bless you, and yours🤟 I absolutely love Crusty! What an AWESOME car!
I like Tremclad too, Tony. And you’re right about the price! I remember, in the 80s, that the 1L can was $10, and the gallon can was about $30. Regardless, I’m glad you were able to get the frame painted before winter. 👍
Tony......I love your videos and the videos of content creators on TH-cam MUCH MORE that watching Horsepower TV of Stacy David's Gears, BECAUSE FIRST you guys show ALL The things you run into while actually BUILDING A CAR!! I hate these TV shows that show you a "car build" and then they start it, and you never see them finish anything!! Which is what I have to get folks like you credit for!! Like Vice Grip Garage, Puddin's Fab Shop and Sprayway Customs, among many others I follow!! At least you folks show a car build from start to finish regardless of the time or money you spend on these rides, and you also outline, detail and illustrate the problems and solutions you come across while building these cars as well!!! Unlike the garbage you see on any of the network stations and their so called "builds"!!!
Tony, quick and easy gun holder. Take an 8"X3" scrap, I use 3/16" plexy glass causeI got lots but 1/8 steel or aluminum is fine. Cut a 1 1/2" slot down the center 3 1/2" deep, put a 1/2" hockey stick bend at the end of the legs. clamp it to the bench or where ever. You want to get fancy just cut it 10" and bend down the other end for the vise. Works great on those Princess Auto guns.
Wow, just checked the price for Tremclad in the UK! £90 per litre... ouch! Great content as always Fitzee. I will be setting up a similar spray both very soon!
That's right Tony best meal in Newfoundland comes from that, good ole salt beef dinner. best scoff you can ever have. " Me son" that's a fact Jack! loves me salt beef dinner. That and " Me fish and brews."
You would love being in Australia. Because the weather is good most of the time you can get so much done year round. Just got to deal with the heat in summer. I feel for u guys in the north cause when winter comes you cant drive likw youd like to and work outside stops. If you have a shed thou its great cause u can focus on projects while the snow falls. Love the channel.
It's not that bad. Winter is car building season! I'm not one for hot weather. I love fall and spring. Hot weather is for doing nothing but driving old cars and finding somewhere shady to hide. Lol
I was wondering what color you were going to use for the frame and cage. This project captivates my interest. I can't wait to see how the exterior paint turns out when you get to that step.
Looks great now that’s it all painted !! Well done !! I really like that Canadian tire Armor Coat rust paint . Should get a small can and give it a try.
Nice job with the tremclad I remember painting a chevette for a guy when I started he bought the red rust paint and he taped up the car outside where it was painted I charged him $25 back in 1985 lol nice work Tony.
I did the same back in the 80s. All I had to do was mix paint and spray. I get 100 bucks for it. I sprayed what ever they gave me. One guy gave me a gallon of white paint to spray comes to find out it was hourse paint! Lol
Oh man I feel for you, I just hate trying to clean up round bar, it’s just the most tedious thing ever. It looks amazing bud, one step closer to big smoky burnouts!! 👍
So... I guess you are turning this into a racer of some kind? I mean... I've been having trouble understanding why that "roll bar" has the door/entry bar as part of it. I can only think that you intend to do something that requires a roll bar... and not one that you bolt in but one that is solidly attached. I don't know if you've seen the channel... but Sarah-n-Tuned is restoring a corolla... and she just finished restoring a Supra... and she does some EXCELLENT work. She's actually resto-modding the corolla and dropping an v8 in it from her Dad's Toyota Tundra. In her last video she tried to learn how to TIG weld so that she could make her own exhaust manifolds. The video ended with her realizing she could not become expert enough to make her own manifolds in a few short practice sessions. I would absolutely LOVE to see some sort of collaboration project... but it's not like you don't already have enough to do. It's just... there's a bunch of people who think you are the best welder on TH-cam... especially considering the tools you have to use. Anyway... I thought I'd mention it. She has like a half million subscribers... so perhaps a collaboration project would put your channel in front of a whole lot of people who haven't found your channel yet (and vice versa) so it would be a win/win.
When I first started my apprenticeship in the metal trade, everything I touched rusted, after about three months, it stopped. Oil on my hands from working with the metal, cured my " rusty fingers".
Crazy as this sound... I thought you might make the body removable using those four mounting points. Or maybe even make it like the earliest funny cars, lifting up on the front end. 🙂
Nice job on protecting the chassis fitzee but you and I know the welding is not over are you going to cus it those 90 degree corners to reinforce the chassis a bit more and on the rear sub frame where those three piece rails meet...it's looking great tho... 🙂👍🙏
24:20 looks like Inspector Peanut is just hanging around. May want to question her work ethics one day....just relaxing and you doing all the work? One sided 🤣
I am an old retired horodder, now bedridden. I always look forward to watching your videos, its like going down memory lane. Content is never boring! My soul says "Let's go to work", my body says "Oh No you don't"😂 Never boring videos, already waiting for the next one! Great tips and content!
I say you have alot of cool stories. Glad you enjoy my videos
Prayers...Old Timer...❤
LOL...loves the beef bucket. Mixing paint, picking berries, Christmas slush, left over screws bolts and nuts....use 'em for everything...Deadly!
Christmas slush!! This was one of wendys slush buckets!! How you know? Lol
Awesome!
Getting ready to paint Crusty's frame... Fitzee eyeballs his paint mixing table, something is missing...🤔 He ponders and thinks "Where's the Beef🫣?!?"
Thanks for sharing your sheeny day👍.
this guy is a magician with a grinder and a mig welder, unbelievable.
It was super satisfying watching it go black bit by bit
That paint job turned out nice. I like your rotisserie for the frame and so does Peanut.
Showing all the unglamorous stuff that has to be done. 1001 small details that have to be taken care of. Very nice.
I wait all week for a new post from Fitzee. Always good!
I dont care if you make a video of you sanding for hours, I will still watch.
Crusty is looking good.
Salt beef with cabbage, carrot, turnip, potatoes, that was Sunday dinner at my parents house growing up.
You’re got to get some pictures of Wendy’s Mustang out on the lawn it was looking good at the end of the video out by your house 👍
It took me a minute to figure out that noise while you were spraying. I realized that it was you stepping around on the sticky floor!😅😅😂
Looks Great 👍
That's yet another step towards completion of this one of a kind Corolla that's hiding a secret under its stock appearance. One thing I noticed when you were painting the frame was that you had a very wide fan on the spray. A few years ago, I painted my trailer frame and I had a narrow fan on the spray. That puts more paint on the job and less over-spray.
You watch it again I keep adjusting the width. It's a cheap gun and keep changing on me so had to keep adjusting it
Thanks for the update on those holes.
Makes sense now.
👍💪✌️
I'm just thinking back from concept to a finished frame. Simply amazing! It looks great.
Wow what a mess you made! We've all done it! Although I'm not sure how that floor will ever clean up. I'm glad it isn't my mess to worry about.
Thanks Tony ! Not boring at all just normal stuff that's necessary; any thing you do is spending time with a friend and learning a bit in the process! 😁😁
Fitzee, I've never seen a video of yours that was boring! Even if it's sanding and painting.

18:22 😂😂😂 I happened to blink when my eyes opened back up you were almost done
Up, and down the ladder. Boy, do I feel that the next day!
Great video and yes the tremclad is good stuff .Thank you for sharing well done sir Tony.Hello Peanut
That is a great job Fitzy. The owner must be over the moon.
I'm the owner! Lol
Nice work Tony, it's smooth as butter and looks great, can't wait to see the body getting sprayed
Dedication has got to be your middle name! Looks good an important milestone has been reached. I got to find a couple buckets of Lighthouse Beef to make my day!
Very nice Tony, that a lot of work sitting there. Keep it going.😊
Not exciting but I feel compelled to watch it all. Always interesting Peonlem solving etc.
My first car was a 1978 Corolla coupe just like that one.
Nice.Good seeing the progrees.And thank's for the tips.
You make it look so easy my friend. Having been a hot rodder a long time I know the difference. Excellent sir.
Hi Tony, yep the color is spot on. Take care my friend. 😊
Hell yeah, from lake co., Florida buddy!
Good job!
I remember using that paint back in the day when I lived in NS, we use to thin it with 91 octane gas 😂. It would look good on anything. Good stuff
I haven't mix paint with gas in a very long time. But I done it too. Lol. Loosest shine quick. Great idea for patina job. Don't know what todays gas would do.
Looking good . Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Gotta love the spray booth
Tony, your vision, and focus are astounding! I look up to you sir, and I hope that one day, I can accomplish even half of the impressive fab projects that you have! And I will be happy and content, if they turn out even half as good as yours! You’re an amazing person, and I’m grateful for you, and your channel! You’re a true craftsman, in every sense of the word!!!! God bless you, and yours🤟 I absolutely love Crusty! What an AWESOME car!
Nice paint job Tony it came out great thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
Looks great Tony. Satin black is the perfect color for a chassis or under the hood. Crusty is one step closer to running down the track!
Lots of sanding-looking good
Enjoy watching a master working his craft. Thank you.
The tips were very good!

Yeah it's good paint but it ain't that good
Congratulations Tony, that's an important milestone passed. Really enjoying this project. Thank you for posting.
Tony, your an inspiration to me. Love the content on both channels. Keep them coming and I'll "Stick Around". 😅

Looking really sweet, nice work Tony. 👌 Be good and stay safe. 👍
Thanks and great job...keep them coming
Very nice work Tony looks great
Looks plenty good. Love the satin sheen
Looks great now that’s it all painted !! Well done !! I really like that Canadian tire Armor Coat rust paint . Should get a small can and give it a try.

Very good job Fitzee

Lookin' good Tony!
Another great video
Looking great 👌
Looks great. I know painting stuff like that is a pain.
❤enjoyed it very. Much 👍👍
Fitzee you need to get those 4 inch polishing pads that they just come out with fits on your angle grinder.
Another great video. I had to look up the salted beef - we don't have any of that here.
Hahaha. It's a newfoundland thing.
Looking good....
Excellent work as always, and yes the tips were good.
Thanks tony great job
Good man I liked what you did .
Looks great
Oh man I feel for you, I just hate trying to clean up round bar, it’s just the most tedious thing ever. It looks amazing bud, one step closer to big smoky burnouts!! 👍
simple process yet meticulous very much appreciated!
good work Tony
Hey Tony , Doug over at Bad Chad's is a master sander 🤣
There is some inside joke here I think? Lol
@@fitzeesfabricationsextra hands make job go faster Tony 👍
Long time coming looking good
Man, just love your videos sir
Looks Awesome Tony . coming together really well . 😎👍
It's a PRO Chassis! Love it! FITZEE
Nice job!

I'll check her out. Sounds interesting
@@fitzeesfabrications - I got it wrong... it's a celica she's retromodding... not a corolla... but it's still a cool project.
When I first started my apprenticeship in the metal trade, everything I touched rusted, after about three months, it stopped. Oil on my hands from working with the metal, cured my " rusty fingers".
Looks great +
Crazy as this sound... I thought you might make the body removable using those four mounting points. Or maybe even make it like the earliest funny cars, lifting up on the front end. 🙂
Too much work. I want it sealed up when done.
Interesting, the places cats get.
Idea....use them , brown, Jersey gloves...hands protected & the oils on your skin are less likely to get on bare metal....🤔🤔
Very Nice Tony. You should be proud! Where ya to with the body color?
White. I want this to look stock. Nothing loud or fancy. Just clean and something for the sleeper look
Nice job on protecting the chassis fitzee but you and I know the welding is not over are you going to cus it those 90 degree corners to reinforce the chassis a bit more and on the rear sub frame where those three piece rails meet...it's looking great tho... 🙂👍🙏
I built a number of these frames. No need to do that. This is finished. Will be welding in the floors to this as well
@@fitzeesfabrications ok 👍
24:20 looks like Inspector Peanut is just hanging around. May want to question her work ethics one day....just relaxing and you doing all the work? One sided 🤣
She just the inspector! Lol
@@fitzeesfabrications yes, pretty relaxed as well.
Brilliant work again Tony. How much paint did you use on this job please?
About two quarts
Fitzze do you ever watch Bondo Billy he does have some good techniques
Yes he reminds me of myself when I was in the trade. I did what he does for over 20 years. He has some cool tricks.
Fitzee I checked out your merchandise but I couldn’t find any coffee cups, what’s up with that!
Hmm thought there was one. I'll look into that
It looks great!
Are you going to leave the paint on the floor or wash it off with thinner?
Most of it will sweep up. Not to concerned about it. Lol
