best restoration channel on youtube👍 bored with people who spend 15 minutes talking then say lets get welding and show it fast forward. how can people learn from that! tony shows it how it is. keep up the good work. best wishes from the uk👍
Crusty is almost as Rusty as my 62 C10....I am really looking forward to watching you do this work. I bought every available panel and I'll have to fabricate the rest...if I'm able.
Great to see a nice long video of Fitzee back at it again. Smashed the like as soon as it started. He just can't leave that rust alone! Thanks Tony we always learn from your tips and you've made my weekend!
Another awesome video. Love the progress you're making. I think you are one of the most talented body men I've watched and a great teacher. You also do a great job filming. Thanks for all you do on here to help people learn and be entertained.
Well that was a lot of work and it all went well, I'm a big fan of your piece techniques they do come together faster than trying to shape a flat sheet into all the different dimensions, great work as always Tony and I'll be looking forward to seeing the progress on the other side,
I always look forward to your videos. My project is done. I finished all the work about 3 weeks ago It took me all summer as I could only do the work in my spare time. The car has been painted with computer-matched factory paint and cleared. There is no way I could have completed the job without your video help. What got me through was "don't overthink it" and "don't worry about this and this and this, only concentrate on this" As I mentioned before in other comments I have never welded before, never mind the fabrication of panels that I can not buy. Instead of filler, I used lead for any and all imperfections and I can not get over how perfect the job turned out. You can not tell that it was ever repaired. I will always look for your new videos as I still want to learn even though my project is complete thanks to you.
I like the thought process that you have and use to achieve a very good end product . A very sensible way of saving a car that very few people would know what to do with . God Bless !!! PS the cats are awesome
i love the build on this car, every time i see the car with the blue paint and the LS that going to be in it, it makes me think of this blue corolla called lynchy built up in Australia for burnouts.
I am so glad that I stumbled upon your channel! I've been trying to get caught up with all of your videos! You are so informative about how you repair things. I might be bedridden now, but I can feel as though I am there with you. You are a man who knows how to do the work the "right" way!😊
I welded a lower drivers side door skin a my 1992 jeep xj today. What a pain in the ass ! Thank you for your videos Tony, you've given me the courage to try.
Wow!!! Lotsa compliments today Tony and rightfully so… you do make it look soooooo much easier than it actually is, but you do it in such a way as to make it attainable by most all who try….
G'day Fitzee Mick from Australia thank you for sharing your knowledge I've learnt a lot from you and the way you do things I'm doing a lot of rust repair on my own project . Never to old to stop learning 👍👍
This is "Acid Dipping" being done on THE ROCK! So many mainlanders have little idea as to the expense AND time necessary to transport anything to the Rock. At $80.00 per car AND $30.00/per passenger (CDN), it takes around 16 hours to get to the east side of the island. As Tony said, just LOCATING a rust-free specimen is a challenge in itself. I'm always amazed watching your transformations, after bending time for over 50 years myself I have much respect for your work. Stay safe, Tony!
Brilliant video. Always fascinating. Absolutely loved the recent 66 Mustang video. When things don`t go right and you have to walk away and think and then come back - that`s the real world (things don`t always go according to plan, for whatever reason). I quoted the Mustang video to the wife, who was having issues with her hobby- sewing. I said, even the professionals in whatever field don`t get things right all the time, just walk away and come back at a later date. It worked; she didn`t kick seven bells out of me, because she`s stressed.
Hi Tony. I wanted to expose you to a rust prevention product (if you don't already know about it). It is called Surface Shield. It is a lanolin that gets sprayed on say the bottom of a car. Repair Geek has a video on this product showing the underside of his dad's truck and it has had this product applied for 5 years. They reside in Northern Ohio and the roads are salted. He also has a link in the description to Amazon if you can afford the shipping cost. I don't know why counties do this to each other as it is nothing more than a money grab. I am considering applying this to my '56 Chevy rebuild when complete. I do not plan on driving it in bad weather, it is a rusty piece and I want to keep it going for years to come. I am also using other paint products to aid in prevention so I am not going to rely on Surface Shield alone, just an added insurance in problem places.
Tony is so interesting that he could have a video of talking about paint dry and I would binge watch it! He has so much knowledge and talent! I hope that Canada understands this man is a natural treasure! 🪙
Finally something we want to see I'd like to see the 49 get closer to finishing but at least its not another BBQ grill it's called dap butyl sealer I did autoglass for a living
@@fitzeesfabrications just hope you got that out of your system boyo! We just want to see you work your magic on body work awesome job on crusty if I want a grill for a fire pit I'll just take one of the racks from my stove with me hahahahahaha 😋 😉 😜 😆 😀
As always, another awesome video. Alot of serious patients involved with a build like this Tony. Hats off to you sir. Beautiful work Tony. Totally love the channel. Always look forward to the video, especially with this build. Thank you for sharing. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
50 years later and the dumdum is still sticky That’s impressive I was told by an old mopar guy that the rust in the roof is from condensation over the years. Wet carpets all winter and heat turns it to moisture in the air and it settles in between the panels of the roof. If that’s correct I have no idea but it makes sense
You have done so much work on Crusty and it looks great much more to do but your work is an inspiration .Carry on my friend as always the content is great and the tips are wonderful God bless my friend
Nice job my friend! Pay attention Boys and Girls he's a craftsman and no BS!!! He's also a very close friend. One of his tips that he drilled into my head when about to weld is make sure you strike you arc on the new metal side first. That'll keep your blow throughs to a mininum. Keep it up, Geoff
Hi Tony. Old Crusty is looking good! I seem to have similar issues welding and burning through thin sheet metal on my rust bucket truck project. On the plus side, I'm getting better at fixing the burn through holes. Love the way your patch panels come out perfect. I'm not nearly at that skill level yet. The tips are always good. Thanks for the video!
on my 85 i narrowwed it down to the drip rail seamsealer cracking and water getting in there and down the pillars and such. looks like your c pillar rust came from the outside tho. but you know that already im sure. keep up the great work.
New subscriber here a friend from my channel told me about your channel so here I am brother. This is a cool car man putting me into this is like a fat man in a little coat lmao. so very exited to watch your projects and get some new idears and knowledge, to be a part of your channel 😀
I used to get the rust converter at Walmart but I haven't been able to buy any of that for more than 10years. Great video once again Tony, excellent technique on the metal replacement. I love your method for making circle blanks to weld in.
Another phenomenal video!!👌👌👌 Crusty is my favourite out of your projects. Very interesting how you used the lap joint to prevent warping. Keep the videos coming please Fitzee!!
The tips were good. Interesting to see the different aproaches taken dependa t on whats happening where it is and how it was originally contructed and a plethora of other factors. What a craftsmam!!
Hey I needed the glass lesson 10 years ago when I put the windshield in my sons 63 c10 lol couldn't believe how wet it got the first wash job . thanks Tony
I wish I could pirate and download all this man's knowledge and talent What an artist.
Then you'll have to do what I've done. Spend 55 years in the industry learning all you can 😁
best restoration channel on youtube👍 bored with people who spend 15 minutes talking then say lets get welding and show it fast forward. how can people learn from that! tony shows it how it is. keep up the good work. best wishes from the uk👍

I like to put a hvac 20 x 20 filter on a fan to help pull that grinding dust away from job and lungs.
It's great to see crusty again! It's amazing that you're even able to weld that thin metal. Like welding foil!
It’s nearly midnight here and I have to get up at 4am for work. But I have to watch this magician at work
I usually do not have time to watch long videos, but this one went fast and enjoyed watching the master artist at work! Thanks Fitzee!!
When you put two times as many tools in a box ,makes them very hard to move!!! LOL!
Fitzee master Jedi when dealing with metal work
I like the thought process that you have and use to achieve a very good end product . A very sensible way of saving a car that very few people would know what to do with . God Bless !!! PS the cats are awesome
the time just flies by, watching fitzee turn rust holes in to metal ... ✔👍
I liked the video as soon as I saw the title 👍
i love the build on this car, every time i see the car with the blue paint and the LS that going to be in it, it makes me think of this blue corolla called lynchy built up in Australia for burnouts.
"Far from mint" was an understatement worthy of an Englishman.

Wow that looked like very hard work Tony. I think I would have to walk away from that many times before I got to that stage. Patience is a vurtue!
Wow!!! Lotsa compliments today Tony and rightfully so… you do make it look soooooo much easier than it actually is, but you do it in such a way as to make it attainable by most all who try….
Daaaang,the no-bondoman is back ! Great work M.Fitzee.
No bondo!! Haha. I haven't got to that stage yet. Lol. I flinged my share of sod back in the day.
Looking good, Tony! She'll be a ripper!
More patches than Patches! Some great rust repair tips in some very tricky areas. Thanks Fitzee!

thanks fitzee the tips were good
Amazing job Tony. Your a real diehard and a master in education as wel.
This as tinfoil ! Great vid, Tony.
Good job!
Very good.
Outstanding fitze. Very nice
Thanks, Tony - another great series of lessons.
As always a great video 😊
Good to have you posting again. It's been too long.
Definitely looks better now, Thanks for showing us your skills and tricks Tony. Ready for your next video.
Tony is so interesting that he could have a video of talking about paint dry and I would binge watch it!
He has so much knowledge and talent! I hope that Canada understands this man is a natural treasure! 🪙

50 years later and the dumdum is still sticky
That’s impressive
I was told by an old mopar guy that the rust in the roof is from condensation over the years. Wet carpets all winter and heat turns it to moisture in the air and it settles in between the panels of the roof. If that’s correct I have no idea but it makes sense
With an acetylene torch, arc welder and grinder you can do anything!! Dang metal maggots!!
That was very informative and I learned a lot from it. Thanks!
SUPER PROFESSIONAL JOB THANK YOU..
Very interesting, thank you. Tricky!
You have done so much work on Crusty and it looks great much more to do but your work is an inspiration .Carry on my friend as always the content is great and the tips are wonderful God bless my friend
Thanks mate love your work.
Nice job my friend! Pay attention Boys and Girls he's a craftsman and no BS!!! He's also a very close friend. One of his tips that he drilled into my head when about to weld is make sure you strike you arc on the new metal side first. That'll keep your blow throughs to a mininum.

Now that's beautiful work, amazing work, lovely job.
Great to see you back on the Crusty Corolla! You are a very talented and inspiring artist. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
"She's crusty". That's the truth. I respect your patience on such a huge project.
awesome video Tony.
To move Crusty, it was a life size game of Jenga.
It looks great.

I'm enjoying the "Crusty" videos and looking forward to seeing it done and running.
I hope we get to see some runs at the track.
👍
🇨🇦
Nice job Fitzee!
You definitely need a bigger shop. It's really annoying that the city won't let you build anything bigger.
I used to get the rust converter at Walmart but I haven't been able to buy any of that for more than 10years. Great video once again Tony, excellent technique on the metal replacement. I love your method for making circle blanks to weld in.
Bet it’s on Amazon
Princess Auto has it.
It is a pleasure watching your magic 😊
Crusty, and the mystery rust, sounds like a bar band.
Another phenomenal video!!👌👌👌
Crusty is my favourite out of your projects.
Very interesting how you used the lap joint to prevent warping.
Keep the videos coming please Fitzee!!
The tips were good. Interesting to see the different aproaches taken dependa t on whats happening where it is and how it was originally contructed and a plethora of other factors. What a craftsmam!!
Hey I needed the glass lesson 10 years ago when I put the windshield in my sons 63 c10 lol couldn't believe how wet it got the first wash job . thanks Tony
Thanks for bringing back crusty
Nice work Fitzee old crustys gonna be like new again when you’ve finished 👍
It’s going to be some interesting seeing this car at the track. Can’t wait!
Crusty!Long time no see. : )
A true craftsman. love the stuff you do, thanks for sharing
