    My dad taught me everything I know about sheet metal, bodywork, welding, etc. unfortunately he passed away about 10 years ago and now questions are hard to get answered. Your video reminded me of watching my dad work the “Magic” hammer and dolly and making patches out of nothing. This video also answered a few questions I wish I could have talked to my dad about. Thanks so much and I am sure glad I found your videos…

    You know what I love about these videos? If he doesn’t get it quite right the first time, we get to see the corrections. That’s gold! What good is it if all we see is pefection on each process? When mortals do it, it will be far from perfect, and now I know how to fix it up.

    The day I turned 16 I was hired as a Finnish Grinder. I quickly found out that it was an actual art. We’d grind tolerances within the thousandths by hand. Getting Mirror smooth finishes all with those 36 grit and 50 grit Norton disks. If you grind correctly with tight enough lines you won’t even need the DA before paint. A few mil’s of paint will look like glass. Everyone focus on even grinds, high low, and cutting in on the start and stop but they always run the grinder improperly for a smooth finish grind. They always grind all sporadic winging the grinder back and forth leaving the lines looking like a cat scratching post or an off balance hone. The trick and proper way is to use equal pressure and speed. A slow and level pass with finesse. You never whip the grinder back and forth on a finish path. The cut lines should follow one single direction and meet at a 45 on corners. The cut lines should be tight together but not deep. You should see your reflection in your finish grind. Then through a scotch bright disk on and it will be smooth as a baby’s bum. Looking like chrome.
    Flap disks are primarily for those that struggle to grind unless your fitting tubing / trimming concave surfaces!

    I can not even begin to tell you how much your tutorials have meant to me. I have never welded before not to mention the outrageous idea of fabrication. As I have mentioned in past comments you are truly an artist. It was because of your videos I purchased a welder and some basic tools and had this incredibly arrogant idea to attempt rust repair on my 1976 Eldorado convertible. I have made some mistakes and yes had to redo some of my work. However, the vast amount of repairs has been almost perfect. I am going back to TH-cam college and attempting to learn the Art of leading to finish my project to perfection. I can not say enough about your magical art of fabrication. I would love it if you offered a number sticker "Fitzee helped with restoring me"

    Just started restoring a 70's Porsche 914 that I found in a field. The Rear deck lid was time consuming to get off because I had to back the bolts out a bit , then WD40 it then turn them in and back them out until they backed out. The last one I snapped the bolt off trying to force it. It was my stupidity to force the darn thing. That was yesterday. Today I am starting the actual lid and it really is not as bad as I thought however there is a spot right in the middle that is just like what you are repairing. I must have watched this several times now. I hope they used better metal than Datsun did. Fantastic wealth of information my dear friend.

    I am probably a tad older than you so I have not done this for a few years, so I like watching. Cars are like women, it is the curvy areas we focus on. Luckily we seldom have to weld in the flat areas.
    When I was young it was all Ox/Ac and we found it easier to fabricat parts with heat, but later with MIG we did closer to what you do. In the latter years I preferred TIG, because of the less heat input. Today in the shops it is all about swapping parts and the welding is all done in a hobbyist garage. We have become to expensive to spend time on a job.

    Thanks Fitzee, the tips have been very good in the restoration of my very rusty 66 Corvair Monza. A body man friend of mine said it was too rusty for a body shop to make money on. Nobody is going to pay for the time it takes. The car done just doesn't have that kind of value. He is absolutely right. Following your methods and using my basic tools and a good Miller 135 mig welder its coming along just fine. Happy to have found your channel.

    Another great video showing the details encountered with welding thin sheet metal and how to actually handle blow through!! Thanks again, this really shed light on the problems I encounter every day on my truck. You have a really quick trigger finger!

    After watching this I feel much better about my welds, I wanted to hide them under bondo. Now I know I just need to spend a bit more time on my project Thank you from TEXAS my friend

    Man of few words compared to the ones who bang on for ages, but the few words you said made absolute sense along with everything you did. Learned more here with a handful of words than anywhere else.. Awesome

    Thanks Fitzee! Finally got my wheel arch panel in the mail yesterday. It’s time for me to do some welding! Keep up the great videos.

    Was amazed how easy you made that bead in the brake. Watching your videos makes me want to start my ‘47 Willy’s project all over again.
