      @@victoryfirst2878 I don't have a place for it at the moment but I really enjoy metalwork. For me the key is to do a lot of head scratching to figure out the best way for me to make the shape I want, then carefully work the metal into shape. I like Fitzee's approach at combining simple shapes into a complex shape. It makes things possible you ordinarily could not do without far more complex tools.

      @Will Swift if you were replying to me, I'm just offering my view. Without the how to by Fitzee, I wouldn't get any farther than cutting a sheet of metal oversized. He showed the steps he uses to make this part.
      I install floor coverings, carpet, vinyl, laminate etc.
      A new large job can be intimidating, especially so with a difficult layout or materials that are very hard to work with. You don't look at the entire completed job and get overwhelmed. If you know the process, you just start..... You don't worry about the entire process just the first process....... vacuum the floor, install tackstrips, then pad, then cut the carpet, then do the seams.... etc.

    There is always at least one "wow, that's clever!" moments in Fitzee's videos. Making a template from a section of the old panel and cutting the slits for marking was one of the very best. Oh yes Fitzee, the tips were good. Thank you!

    That was a great idea notching the panel at both ends, by making the panel alittle bit bigger on both ends you were able to cut your notch on both ends and not losing your mark and when you used vise grips on both ends you could recreate your bends. Very clever or you. You are a great teacher and I appreciate watching your educational videos.

    Very good job on that truck floor. Love the way you made that like a production run with the template piece. Great idea cutting little Nick's in it. Tony's motto don't make it hard when you can make it easier. You remind of my father never dive into a job without a plan. It saves a lot of time and trouble. Great video's learning a lot thanks Ruth Great Britain.

    You are a master. I’ve been painting and restoring cars for over 40 years. You make me feel like an amateur. I could never do what you do or get someone to pay me to build panels on an old Toyota truck.
    These videos are what life was like before reproduction panels.
    Before mig welders we used brazing rods and coat hangers and a torch.

    Another fantastic how to Fitzee. Tips were great, i always keep a scribbler beside me when I watch your channel, so I can stop, pause, and write down every tip you give. This video filled two pages!!! Thank you again, and from Winnipeg... keep your stick on the ice! Cheers Rob.

    Your absolutely correct. Take a big job and make it into smaller ones that all fit together is easier then making a big complicated one.

    Great work. I had to do this by hand on my first car that had holes in the floor pan, old Holden Gemini with big holes in the boot pan, made all new panels with a hammer chisel anvil lumps of wood and some sheet metal. Was rather complex but like you said there was no replacment parts available so had to be remade.

    This is a timely video for me, because I have a 67 C10 truck bed that needs the same type of repairs. Your attention to detail is amazing and how you share your knowledge is priceless. Little details like the weld through primer, how to clean off primer in plug weld holes with the drill bit tip, and how to weld plug welds is stuff that you don't see anywhere else. I wish I could have learned from you 35 years ago. My metalworking skills and welding would have been so much easier. I have had to learn by trial and error and I still don't know one thousandth of what you do. Thank you for helping amateurs like me who can't afford to pay a restoration shop thousands of dollars to repair rusted out projects.

    I was fabricating floor pans for my 68 Bronco this weekend. As I was spotting and trimming I could hear your voice in my head: "Just gonna cut and butt this here..." I love fabricating, and I really enjoy watching someone with skills like yours make something from nothing! Hope all is well.
