- One of the mounts on the Datsun pickup was rusted away so I have to make a new mount from some 14 gage steel to match the factory style mount. did it with only basic tool and some scrap steel.

You have no idea how these videos have helped me with my own build, I now look at complicated shapes completely differently, Fitzee, your uploads are priceless, thanks so much
Same here... I tend to be less tempted to do stuff in one piece. I can decompose the shapes with my eye while having Fitzee's advice in mind: 'you can do it in one piece but see this part has a stretch/bend/roll to it' etc.. 😀👍
Ill second that
Yep! Exactly. I feel a level of confidence that I can do it, it will take time but I don’t need to go out and buy that patch panel.
Ditto!
Add me to that list. Working on complex concave to reverse concave channel with a lip section. After my one piece fail. I asked my self, how would fitzee do this. It's become an inside phrase In my home :)
Fitzee has given me the motivation to have a go at fabricating and welding from my wheelchair
Nothing to lose mate :)
Do it! I know of a guy in a wheel chair who actually builds cabinets. If you're a coffee drinker make sure you have a coffee maker and also a microwave in your shop lol. God bless you.
@@coherantbliss3483 Thank you there are not many things I haven't been able to do, a lot of thinking about how I`m going to do it, but the buss, when finished, is awesome. Like Fitzee I don`t have fancy equipment, most of the bits I do have I`ve made myself one bit I have is an ex electric hospital bed which I have converted to a workbench so at the press of a button it goes up or down that is my pride and joy and it was free
Guarantee you can do it boss. Most bodywork and metal work (on cars) is done sitting down anyways! Stay strong brother! Just modify you table.
Get it you will have a good time
I think his merch should include his tag line; "Made with simple tools. Stick around to find out how".
Hi Fitzee you fabricating so plain and simple and with basic tools and what's around you .You are an amazing teacher 👌👌👌
To the Student Body: Try to guess how the Professor will work his magic once he gives us the problem. Always remember, WWFD What Would Fitzee Do.
I think that’s a new shirt for fitzees store
lol
excellent idea.
Spot on.
Iv'e been doing restoration / fabrication for years, i think i have picked up more tips since being subscribed to this channel than nearly all those year of doing the work. Superb channel.
Simple tools... Ingenious mind. The ingenuity of the human mind on prime display, Well done, Fritzee. More of today's kids would do well to watch how critical thinking and logical problem solving works. AND you didn't need to Google a thing.
Or get it all ready fabricated out of a box ! Bolt it on !
Most of the kids today would tell him how to do it
Years from now when someone comes across you work it will pass as the origional manufacture procedure. Love learning from your videos showing how that with a lot of effort and average tools you can produce work that makes you proud. A++++ videos
Gives me the confidence to make anything!
Agreed. I was scared to start some things, now, no problems.
Saw the wand moving and remembered a teacher yelling at me to "WELD IN C's" back in the day!
Don't even have to think about it when the time comes now. Thanks for bringing back the memory!
Another great Fitzee Class on how its possible to make a rather complicated metal part fairly easy with your experience, skill, patients and thought , thanks again for walking us through your process,
“Stick around “... Or in layman's terms.. "you're going to learn something new today.."👍
Raining cats and dogs outside...perfect day for watching Fitzee work the metallic magic 😀
I find it fascinating to watch you form the most complicated shapes in ways that i would have never guessed possible. I appreciate your reviewing your orders of operation so that a person doesn't work themselves into a bind.
The real teaching for me on these videos is learning how to break down multiple curves and surfaces into separate and easier to deal with pieces. Success with simplicity.
Been modifiing cars for « road » racing for 25 years. Still amazed at the quality of your work. All with common tools!
You can definitely tell metal work is your passion , thanks for sharing your talent with the world .
You are the Man, I get so much pleasure out of watching your videos. In life every day is a school day and i always learn something new from watching you. Keep up the excellent work.
If I would have watched these at 16 years old -- instead of 40+ years beyond that -- I probably would have spent my life metalworking. Informative and inspiring! Thanks for covering everything you can, from the boringly simple to the amazingly complicated (broken down into simple steps).
This guy is the Bob Ross of Fabrication!!! Love his work!!
I can’t thank enough as I sent this video to my youngest son who is 34 and into old vintage 80’s GM’s. I have that 8” vise, MIG and grinder. My instructions to him was to make a paper part to start with as a pattern (Note: $12 buys 34” X 100 foot roll of RED rosin paper used under wood floors) he is making a door bottom that is not sold. He wants to learn to weld, I told him to duplicate a pattern, Cut & bend metal then we will shape it and tack it then weld.
Thank your very much for the video. Remember guys, you can’t always buy what you need!
Fitzee, now I know you read the comments:-) I decided to invest a few minutes in a more detailed feedback.
Fitzee, you are my guru. I live in Sweden which is like your rust belt, just worse. In a bad year we have 7 months of salt on the roads. You hear rust eating up your car! I hate it. No one can repair the cars I love anymore, they are dissappearing! Welding and fixing old car bodies is a lost trade, the few who can do it charge over 100 bucks per hour. Your videos make it possible to rebuild my own cars. You show us that we only need simple tools and lots of patience. No need for the increasingly non-existent ready-made patch panels, now I can make my own. This opens up the possibility to save more cars! I work on my own cars, restore them and keep them in my mini collection.
All I want to say that I am very grateful, please keep us “stick around”
I'm glad you are enjoying them. Thanks
After scrolling through these comments they are hard to top/give you the justice you deserve. I'll just say I'm younger than you but I realize you are a man ahead of your times. You take metal working to a science yet keep it simple. Einstein and Edison come to my mind when I see your work and that's for real. I hope that all your wisdom that you share rewards you some day.
Thank-you Fitzee ....you are the Metal Master !!! I am very thankful & honoured to have your experience & teaching to help me 😃👍
Fitzee, another lesson making a difficult task easier. Thank you!
This humble man, in my opinion is right up there with the great ones! Ron, faye, Gene ...etc....thanks Fitzee!
Fitzee, I don't think anyone would ever see that it's not factory original.
Man, you have PERFECT timing! My 69 Chevelle's pass side radiator support mount is shot from being underneath the battery. I will be using(copying) your method for building a new one! As soon as I get it's LS engine going(gotta wire in new fuse/relay box) I will be gettin happy with some sheet metal!
Fitzee your tips are always great !
Fitzee, a pleasure, as always, watching your engineering genius in action!
I have been looking for this exact type of content for a long time and I am very glad to have found it. I am going to put all of this to work while repairing the rust on my '73 charger
Brilliant to watch you work. Thanks
You are a master fabricator. Really like watching and have gotten to where I wait on the new videos.
Amazing work as always Fitz👌💯🙌
It's amazing seeing how it all comes together all from separate pieces of metal. Once again great video
I stuck around and I learned something. Excellent class as always.
Once again the tips were great. I like how you can look at something and imagine how to recreate it and the actually recreate it.
So much to learn on how metal stretches. you're tips are always good 👍
Always look forward to your vids. I've picked up a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Tips Are good! Really diggin' the no nonsense, all content videos. Excellent!
Amazing fabrication skill. You make it look easy
Wow. Love yr thought process. Very good priceless info. Thanks again
Videos' like this one are a pleasure to watch, it seems that most people aren't interested in anything that they can't run down to the store and bring home to bolt on. Very few guys out there have the skill to actually customize anything, they just bolt on stuff.
Fitzee your video’s are awesome. It’s cool to watch you make this stuff with a mig. Super helpful.
Good job Fitzee , nice approach to fabrication .
You give me hope for my Cadillac 46 that will be built using these tips! Cheers from Sweden!
Appreciate the time and effort you put in , to make these videos. Thank you.
30 minutes of pure skill and craft. Lovely.
Fitzee I love how you break every compound shape down into its simplest form. Craftsmanship.
Great deal on the helmet! Thanks for the info Tony very nice work!
Brilliant lesson Fitzee
Hi Fitzee, It’s a real piece of art you made. Thanks for showing how to create a complex shape in an easy way. 👍
Your a true craftsman love seeing your Videos Chris from north Carolina
Fitzee you really know your craft a pleasure to watch mate. 🇦🇺🙏👨🏭
That was a very good lesson. It made sense and the results show it. Great Job. Your Chevy is pretty nice too.
Sorprise me the simplicity of your skils, thank you for shearing your in valuable expertise. Congratulations Fitzee from Mexico city
Your tip's are always helpful, I like the fact that you can build these things with common sense and simple hand tools
I am still looking for my jaw on the floor.
Sir, you are an artist! 👍 👍
Years ago when I first attempted a little custom work on my 1966 Suburban I cut the roof and made it look like a beach buggy. I didn't know what I was doing but I tried and all the hotshot custom car builders just mocked me for my efforts. They discouraged me enough to quit and give up. It is such a rare and precious opportunity to watch and learn from such a great teacher. I'm 73 years now and just now learning things I wish I learned years ago. Thank you Fritzee from another Canadian out here on the west coast in BC. You put all those hotshots to shame. What I get the most from your teachings is break in down into pieces and keep it simple.
Fitzee, you are brilliant. I wish i would have had your advice 12 years ago when i started welding. Wonderful stuff you are doing.
Thanks!
You build my confidence as well as you build cab mounts.
I made up a small repair panel for my 76 Saab 96 using your techniques. They really work.
Another great demonstration to simplicity. thank you for sharing.
Very satisfying to watch!!!
Thank you!👍
Thanks for making it simple and easy! Thats the way i always try to do things. Will be using this wt eork soon to replace a spring mount on pick up truck.
Great idea to break it down to simpler sections before putting them together. Impressive.
Another excellent video, your fabrication skills are amazing. Thanks for sharing.😊
Learning from every video. Using your guidence to make pieces in pieces before installing. Thanks for all the videos.
You totally blew my mind great work I need to make a couple on my 65 GS convertible totally informative
Another great vid mate.
It makes it easier for us novices to have a crack at things when there are vids like this to go to.
Keep up the good work.
Another great tutorial for manufacturing body parts.
Thank you! You are a true inspiration! I am anxious to start fabricating!
This is something that can't be taught, the way you executed that was amazing, only experience and knowledge can get this done.
Man, its like you are looking over my shoulder!! I am building body mounts for my 55 Caddy. Learned a ton from this one. Thanks Tony!!
Hi Fitzee you and Authur Tussik are the best I love watching your videos can't stop watching learn something all the time keep up the good work PS can't wait for another vid
This man needs to be protected at all costs 🤣🤣
HOW CAN ANYONE GIVE A THUMBS DOWN FOR THIS MAN HES A PURE GENIUSE AND A PLEASURE TO WATCH
Tips were gooooooood, great job Fitzee
You are truley the master mr Fitzee ,allways good quality work, and you make it so the rest of us can do it also,, truley inspirational !! Thank u
Clever how you break down a complex shape into a series of simple ones.
Man your so practical this is what they don’t teach anymore thank you for sharing your a true craftsman of your trade
Just watched this one for the third time and it's still amazing!!
Another fantastic job Fitzee!!
I have a similar pair to make.
Thank you!!
Fitzee, you are a Deliberate Artist.
The tips are very good. You style of delivering the information is easy to understand and very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome work thanks for the video love the Datsun truck content.
Thanks again Fitzee, a complex looking mount, but you broke it down into practical steps using tooling and skills which we can apply and replicate with practice.
Masterful!
(I need to build a pipe vice so bad)..
Man I wish I had access to your videos back when I was just a kid! It sure would have made my life easier! About 35 years ago I tried to replace can mounts on 61 Ford unibody pickup. Mine looked terrible and took me forever to build.
You have an amazing talent of seeing and reproducing shapes. Great work as always!
Tony, another nice job and great info, thank you.
I can tell the difference!! Yours looks better!!!! Awesome Job!!
Thank you for sharing I learn something new from your videos all the time God Bless
Thank you so much for adjusting the audio/music volume......... I love you videos way more now....Thanks again.....You do great work.
Top class workmanship, breaking up the design into separate parts is a great idea rather than trying to make the complex shape in one go, well done again.
Absolute genius. I wish I had all the little assorted pieces of pipes, and angles, and sheetmetal. Very handy indeed! Beautiful work as usual Tony!
Again, I'm humbled by your expertise and approach to build a part that has not been in production for decades!! Well done sir.
I'm working in a 1992 ford f350 crew cab. I Will use what I learned from you and others! Thank you!
Your thought process on making these complex shapes is amazing Fitzee. You are a fantastic craftsman. The sad fact is most body shops dont have panelbeaters now just panel fitters.
Complicated piece - nicely done! Thank you for another great video. Just got one of these mounts to make on my project :-)
Finished product looked really close to factory ! Well done!
I tell you that you're simple approach with basic tools, is just the tip of the iceberg of your vast knowledge and experience. I'm just getting starting with my own fabrication work, and I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. You are truly a great craftsman!
