- Back on the 49 Fleetline getting the passenger quarter ready for the new skin and come across some poor repair sections that needs attention first. using simple tools and some recycled metal I fix the problem
Tony is the Leader in making do with what you have and thinking outside the box. Miles ahead of the rest with his innovations and solutions! Stick around Folks.
Something we used to do in old school tool and die trim line was prick punch the layout line and essentially split the line when machining to that line. It makes a nice reference and would be covered up by the weld.
Another great night watching Tony at his best. Thanks Tony!
You do amazing work with just simple tools
Appreciate your honesty! I've been in that warping situation....
Well that turned out great. It's really quite astounding how malleable sheet metal is using simple tools. I have more fun in my shop making tee dollies, dimple dies, and such out of scrap I have lying around. Great work as always Tony. Thanks for bringing us along!
Hey Toni i really enjoy these long videos ,its nice to sit down and watch these are awesome.
You have done it again Fitzee. Beautiful work.
Tony , I can't us a grinder as good as you so I had to get an air saw to make the cuts , but I can say cut and butt is the way to go . thanks for the great tips .
Another fantastic video!
Outstanding job Tony Looks really nice
NICELY done,VERY HELPFUL INFO
I ENJOYED LEARNING FROM YOUR VIDEO. I MUST SAY YOUR A MASTER CRAFTSMAN. SHALOM ADONIA!
A good common sense way to save a panel you don't have ,great job Tony. Watch , learn and listen boys and girls and what ever else is watching....
Best accent ever
Sounds like every town in Ireland with a big dollop of dublin
Awesome work too
Cheers from a Paddy in NZ
Fitzee's from Newfoundland Canada ! 🇨🇦
Another great video. You give us so much information that if we had to pay for it we'd go broke. Thanks for all your knowledge that you've gained from your years of doing different cars.
Always amazed , always !!!
Love your work mate. You are a champion.
Thanks for yet another great tutorial. Of course the tips were good.
You help me immensely with my projects. Some of what you cut out looks exactly like what I'm dealing with.
Another great video until these videos i wouldnt have thought making that panel would have been so easy thanks fitzee
simply amazing, I´m learning and studying - and trying to make things almost as fine. Thanks a lot, it is really helpfull!
Great work on those compound curves !
Hiya Tony great video as always I totally love what you do with recycled metal your a true master and craftsman well done the repairs look brilliant ♥️👌
My company bought me those long vice grip clamps today because I wanted them for work. I have them at home so I wanted them for work, They were shocked that they cost theym 65$ a piece !. I just said tools are expensive!
Nice Panel man ! !
I feel like to master the cut and butt you need to be really good at your angle grinder (I did a large cut an butt yesterday on a roof panel and I ended up using a 3" cut off disk on a smaller grinder because my angle grinder felt too unwieldy (turned out nice). Also you need to be good at grinding and knowing when to stop grinding (so you don't make the panels thin).
Awesome!
Hey Tony,
Have you ever used the "recycled metal" from a washing machine or dryer?
They seem to be easy to come by and might otherwise just go to waste.
WAAAW VERY GOOD THANKS...
what mandrel do you use so you can recycle smaller cut off discs on your die grinder
Do you just close your eyes when you weld ?
I always laugh at the term...businessman. Ya...more like giving people the business...lol. The people who make money on the backs of others who actually do real work. Great work, Tony!
Tony I saw you first do the cut and butt on a a gas tank access door. When you did that you emphasized cutting at a 45 degree angle. Most of the cutting on this it looked almost perpendicular. Is that 45 degrees not really necessary?
No I find it gets a tighter fit with the 45 degree angle. On this it has a curves edge and you can't do a 45 with a zip cut. If I can do a 45 I will.
@@fitzeesfabrications thank you!
❤🏆🤝
You can't see but one side at a lime . It will be ok .
NICE WORK Tony! Learning a lot and it's helping make my project not seem so difficult, just a little at a time and stay focused on one panel at a time! Solid.
Your craftsmanship is amazing! To be able to do all that you do with simple hand tools is amazing!!! I always learn a lot watching your videos...Thanks!
Good grief, whoever worked on that body the first time should have his fingernails smacked with a hammer. Just because you own a welder and a tin snips doesn’t mean u should be doing bodywork. I feel sorry for u sometimes having to deal with stuff like that. Great vid bud, you’re the best 👍
I watched Carter Auto Restyling videos on mig welding sheet metal and he likes to weld about an inch and then immediately grind the weld ... then another inch and so on ... says it tempers the metal less and is easier to grind and you don't have all that grinding when your done welding ... I tried it and it works pretty good ... like your videos ... seem more like one of us ...
He does a fantastic job on that. I been meaning to try it and see how it works out.
Absolutely amazing how you always manage to think outside the box. Love your work. You along with Make it Kustom , Halfass customs and Yorkshire car restoration give me to much information 😊 thanks again Tony.
You should check out Carters Auto Restyling.
I bet they’re lined up to get work done by you Tony… I’d say you have to turn them away !!! Once again..well done sir!!!👏👏👏👏👌
Pretty darn amazing how you could see the path to take with this one! It turned out fantastic! It boggles my mind how many hours go into these cars to return them to their original glory.
Absolutely amazing work Fitzee you have some remarkable skills my good man 👌👍
Thanks for all the details @21:30 . Really helped me fully understand what can go wrong and how to remedy it. 👍👍😎👍👍
Glad to see you working again on the 49 chevy. Really enjoyed watching you repairing that front section doing the cut and butt. Them cleco's really come in handy. You did a great job explaining the process of cutting out a previous repair job and fixing it. This is a video that you have to watch a few times to really appreciate what you did, another great teaching video.
You are amazing Tony! I've watched countless hours of your work. Thank you so much!!
You did a fantastic job on that one, I don't blame you for using the compound curve it was still in good shape and a lot faster than pounding out a new one, awesome work as always Tony, and thanks for the education
Hi Tony. Love the use of simple tools and homemade tools. Makes it easier on an old scrounger who doesn't need or have room for a shop full of fancy, high priced machinery. Not saying that wouldn't be nice if that was your business but us shade tree guys gotta use what we have, right? Thanks for the video!
Beautiful work brother!
Love the improvised tools. After seeing one of your previous videos I found an old disposable CO2 welding gas bottle in my garage and cut the end off - now I have a 'cup' to stretch metal into and a round dolly for shaping.
another top job tony...you have made the impossible look so easy "relatively"
i always try to use new steel which is not hard or expensive to come by over here in oz,purely to save time.
cheers joe
Tony, thank you for sharing this beautiful work you do. Everytime I wonder how easy it’s seems to you to replace all that panels. Keep on going with this wonderfull content. I watch more chanels with rustrepair, but in my oppinion you are the best.
if only schools were so interesting, we would all be craftsmen in every trade ...
Excellent work,always a pleasure to watch real craftsman work.great tips.thanks for sharing your experience.
great lesson Tony ..Thanks!
Thank you busy for being old school I watch your videos and applied into my project thank you again
Tony, you've been doing so much with so little for so long you're actually qualified to do anything with nothing. Absolutely amazing work. 👍👍
I'll say it again, amazing attention to detail & quality . your skills are amazing , and with just basic tools makes it even more-so
The "Michaelangelo of Metal"... 💪💪💪
You're a master Fitzee, I need to order 30 t-shirts from you because you taught me so much. Thanks again for these videos
Is it weird to say I watch your videos religiously?? But for good reasons. I'm restoring my own Merc and thanks to you Tony, my restoration is going well 👍 thank you Fitzee
Phenomenal work Tony. You’re a true artist in this world!
Amazing work again watching you work have me the confidence to do all the body work when it seemed impossible thanks for the great tips and until next time
What's next, you gonna pull a rabbit out of your hat!? 🤣🤣🤣 Nicely done. It's fun to see how anyone can do it with just basic stuff.. I dig the idea of the gas bottle cap. If you modified it you could use the other side like the inside of a pipe... Gives me motivation to do the body on my 69 Datsun 510. Thanks!
Always a learning experience, Fitzee!! Love you get those radiuses just so!
Thank you for sharing!!
Nice work Fitzee, I learned a lot as usual. Thanks.
I looked at that in the beginning thinking yeesh how's that going to go?! And then bit by bit you make it work. Looked like a tricky one. Thanks again for sharing your skills!
Well done. Fun watching you put this panel together.
Your like the bob ross of metal fabrication
Fantastic video. I definitely learned. A valuable lesson on this one. The tips were good. That’s for sure.
This is awesome information!
Thanks, Tony - great tips in this one!!
Yet another outstanding repair Tony.
You make what looks impossible happen , Great stuff !
Thank you Mr. Fitzee!
Nice to see your Rodent Recovery Technician checking out your project for possible candidates.😸
Rodent Recovery Technician 🤣
Tony watching you fabricate this panel from scratch is awesome to watch thumbs up 👍
Wow! I've been following you for quite a while and your tips have given me confidence to tackle jobs I would never have dreamed of before. But that quarter panel would have had me beat. I always think to myself "what would Tony do?" but that quarter panel had me overthinking it. You eye for what is a crown and what is a just a curve is spot on.
Watching you has helped me redo the left rear quarter below the tail light on my 1954 Ford model 70B 2dr.sedan, great tutorial!!!!!*****
Another great repair and video!
This is very useful to learn
Hello Tony
You do magic thinks with the metal.
Thank you for sharing your skills with us .
It is a pleasure to see yoz working.
Tske care
Yours Frank Galetzka
Great skill. Great video.
Watching the maestro work his concerto is mesmerizing.
I have to admit it surprised me to see you didn’t hammer form a panel and fit it over top of the existing piece and cut+butt it, I did this on the rounded cab corner o my 64’ dodge truck, made it in a couple pieces as per your videos worked amazing! But definitely see your wisdom on recycling when the piece is still usable I wish I would have been more tender with my passenger floor pan
Hope the bank appreciated you storing his car
This answered all my questions that I have had previously. Awesome vid. Thank you very much.
Excellent information and presentation.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but seeing Crusty with a driver's seat is making me anxious for the next video! Thanks sir
Wondering who was going noticed that. Something else new on Crusty to!
It's amazing what you can do with something hard to beat on, and a hammer grinder, and welder!, Ita so easily forgotten our fathers and grand fathers built their world with only those tools! Awesome work,
People always grind off soo much primer for spots. The bit trick is simple and brilliant.
Fitzy glad to see you just came across this by accident was wondering what happened to you you're the best out there unlike some of these clowns that think they know what they're doing
I absolutely love the east coast accent. You are amazing at what you do. Very knowledgeable.
Hell Fitzee U are so dammmmm Good U don't even have to have a ground welding all that together!!! Oh i get it a welding table lQQl
Nice to see Peanut on the job again, checking out what's different from the last visit.
I think it was a nice solution to creating a new part. But I have to go to bake, to learn more about welding setting. Very good.
If you didn’t do this work I bet you’d be a plastic surgeon. Great job.
Excellent explanation on why you take the route you do to achieve desired result. Tips were great!
I've asked I don't know how many times what those pins your useing to keep panel back in place
🥓
The tips weren't just good. They're absolutely incredible! I would have been scared to death of that repair until watching you and seeing the logical process you use.
Another great video, love the long ones ,thanks
