So, technically this is a true Body by Fisher
I, see what you did there.😀 He's, truly talented!
He should get shirts made with that! I like what you did there haha.
@@mitchellhrapchak1963😄 Nice!
Well played sir!
My 1st girlfriend was a fisher...need I say more?
I just want to say how happy I am to see you show protecting dash and gauges from weld damage. After 49 years of body repairs I have seen a lot of glass damaged from welding and grinding. I look at every spark as a piece of molten metal flying through the air looking for a place to melt something. I am now learning metal shaping through you youngsters
Left the window open when my car was on the hoist - was up high for a few days. When I got it back the interior was permanently damaged from all the airborne missiles buzzing round the shop below.
Hi there mate the old girl is starting to look a very cool looking kustom car mate. Buy the look of the car it would have made a great
Coup Ute it looks like you got a lot of room there mate it will a shit hot kustom when it's done bro a fan from down under Australia mate
Be safe mate
I fookin bled the master cylinder on my Busa, didn't cover the gauges, oops, 2 perma squirt marks .. want a new bezel now, for me the entire car or bike can be rusted whatever, "patina" but if the gauge bezel is brand new and all the lights work right, and gauges all work, its on, prolly cuz thats what I look at 80% of the time when driving or riding
Awesome job Karl! I really love the Zephyr project and happy you are going to stay with it! Of course the ramp truck is not bad either! lol
Excellent work Mr Fisher! One of my peeves on all the chop jobs I see is knowing 9 out of 10 of them have no inner structure support. These cars aren't terribly safe in a crash as it is, but having only the outer skins holding them together, not a good idea.
Thanks for showing the proper way to build a custom!
Great job I love watching how to do it the right way. You always take it to the next level. Nicely done Karl.
Shout out to Kristina for killer editing!
Come on 3M, hook the man up with a sponsorship already!! You’ve given them countless great shoutouts, you at least deserve a box full of discs by now! 🤣
Haha ya man one day for sure
You are not only a great artist, but a great teacher, at the same time!!!
I don't ever expect to do anything like this sort of body work, but I'm certainly enjoying watching it done so well and accurately. Thanks for sharing these techniques. Very nicely done!
I do love this thumbnail. For any South African, it's truly amazing. You're working on a Zef, and you like the rapper Jack Parow, who is an epitome of the Zef culture😅
Thank you for doing things both ways so us in a home garage that only have minimum tools or welder types can see the difference and see if it's worth it for us. I love how you're always thinking about us guys without shops. Truly appreciated
It’s cool to see you get all happy and excited about your craft. Thanks for the great videos. By far some of the best content on CZcams.
I had a really nice productive long day in my workshop in rainy old English Cotswolds, Now settling down after a big meal and watching your content is like comforting to me. I got so engrossed with this video i said wow out loud once i saw the end result 😂
Love your content and when i get time to watch i enjoy every single minute😂
Hello Harry from a Yank out here in the US prairie. It’s rainy here too thank goodness! Would love to visit the Cotswolds. Isn’t that the land of Delderfield?
As one of the "nay-sayers" regarding the chop heigh I want to say I'm digging it more and more. Still think that a tad less chop would have showcased the huge craftsmanship you're both throwing at and also developing along the way of this build. The pillar caps are amazing, and squinting a little, with the chop height and doors, it looks a tad like a monstrous VW beetle (in a good way!) The undertaking of reinforcing, copying and building the inner structure is spectacular and it's a shame no one will be able to contemplate it once the car is painted and assembled. Good thing you have this build series, it's a testament to your vast capabilities and how you keep adding tricks and techniques to your arsenal.
Thanks Karl for the awesome content. I am loving to see your progress on the Zephyr. She is a grand old girl and you are giving her the love and attention she deserves. Well done and we'll see you next time.
I'm sure everyone watching this, used to watch the Speed Channel on Sunday mornings. Muscle Car, Extreme 4x4, Stacey David, etc. Those shows were great, but they were always lacking in the nuance of the jobs they did. You always wished they would delve into it more and really show you how things are done.
Well, we finally have a show that does that. One of the best shows on youtube. Enjoyed it. Thanks!
Wow I absolutely loved these shows so thank you man
You, truly are gifted and talented, Mr. Fisher!
really cool! I have never seen that a person could make any car part from metal, and it is better than the factory one. to feel the shape and volume in this way is a separate form of art!
Several more details done to perfection. Great content, teaching and of course music.
100% Good Enough!
Awesome work. Keep them coming.
I ordered my radius guage a couple of days ago!
Right on thanks Matt! Maybe I’ll see ya in Vegas soon!
Another attribute of Cubitron is that it removes material so quickly that there is much less heat transfer/generation. I've seen a demo where a foot long, 1" bar was ground down in only a few seconds on a robotic grinder. It was dramatic in itself but then the operator immediately put his bare hand on the ground area and showed that the material was removed faster than heat could transfer. Very effective for large scale welds such as ship hulls, etc where heat distortion from welding is a big issue.
Used your hot tack method today and it worked great. Cranked up the volts a bit and tack, tack, tack. No blow outs. Thanks!
I have seen so many people just weld posts around the outside. It hurts me. So glad u take the time to weld the inner structure. It could save ur life.
Karl that work came out awesome. I personally enjoy seeing how the internal support structure is handled as that's always a head scratcher for me.
Just started to watch this video and see that you have given Mike Wagner a shout out. I would absolutely love to attend his class but can't get away this weekend. If the two of you would let us know when you are going to do a joint class, I'll sign up in a heartbeat. I might even buy the beer.

Back to the video!😎😎
You do such beautiful work. It's always a pleasure to watch
I Watch Brent for the get it done attitude… I watch Carl for precision… like a Japanese Katana maker or those tea pot… it’s like ancestral metal work.
That is sick, I love it already. You are a true inspiration to young builders on how to do things right, im a little bit bit older, but I share your videos and knowledge with everyone
Carl my man, thanks for bringing us along on this build.
Great job thanks so much for sharing
Absolutely right on the grinding discs best ones I’ve used and Mike makes metal work look easy
For sure 3M get with the program already ! 😂 Thanks Karl keep them coming sir !
When I weld in patch panels you can still see exactly where the panel is. When Karl welds in a panel it looks like he just sanded it down to bare metal. You’re my fuckin hero!
Cheers dude!
I think we were all waiting to see this panel go on
Once again Karl , beautiful work . I appreciate all the tips you through in and for explaining to us why you do what you do . Thanks man for making me a little smarter than I was yesterday !
Hahah you’re welcome! 😆 thanks for your support!
Karl have totally enjoyed watching your conversion on your dream car. The Zephyr is going to be great!
Great work Karl explaining and executing so well. The results are amzin🇿🇦
Two words. Master craftsman.
My favorite you tube man. I’ve never seen anyone as talented as Carl. I only wish I could be as good as him. Keep it up man.
Your video's bring everything together in a informative and entertaining way. I have been watching your videos probably since the beginning. Your camera placement, lighting, editing and music is spot on. Your comments likewise are not to much, not to little. Good job on all all your videos.
Zephyr coming along really well.
You truly are one amazing, automotive builder of machines like WOW!!!!
That A pillar looks killer lol. I hope I live to see this finished and on the ramp truck
Norton Blaze orange discs are great too.
I do appreciate the MIG vs TIG points there, and showing making the same panel with different tools. I’m hitting problem on problem in my own current project, so seeing things like the Zephyr progress helps me remember it’s worth it, eventually!
Love your videos Carl thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Looks good and strong a lot of work but worth it in the end Great job and have a Great day
Very KOOL Karl coming along nicely
Very very very nice job you do on this Zephyr !!!
Like looking what you do every weeks.
Bruno from France.
You make it look easy, even though I know this is not. Beautiful work!
Very little to no filler needed. Awesome work kid.
Learning from each production Karl. Really enjoy watch all you do and achieve. My sincere thanks for all your efforts and sharing your amazing knowledge and professionalism..
That is a beautiful shape around that windscreen on that car and that you've fabricated, very nice. Hope that arm gets better soon brother.
Dude.. you are so genuine, I totally enjoy watching you craft your skills. Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
You’re too kind man !
Ìm so glad you decided to go with the A- pilar cap technique..it is absolutely the best method in this scenario. You probably will never know all the advantages. But rigidity, rollover, crashworthness, and even reduced rattling and metal fatigue are but a few of the advantages I can think of off the top of my head. I am very curious to see your approach to the roof, catwalk, and trunk design and fabrication. You go dude!! We're all rooting for ya!...
Thanks Jeff! It’s going to be a great learning experience for me no doubt! I just got word that the trunk lid arrived
Love it how you keep it real, great videos.
Best music on the internet!
Fantastic work, the attention to detail is amazing. Really looking forward to seeing this progress.
Dude the Zeph looks DOPE !!
Morning Karl, it's been a little while, but I'm back, been working hot n heavy on my 31 Coupe, about 65% done on my metal fabrication(firewall/floor/trans tunnel) which I used 16 ga. material. I may chop it this winter, that will be the last fabrication project on this car...you are doing a fine job on your 4 dr to 2dr conversion!! Your "A" pillar cap is killer!!
Thanks alot Michael! Keep cracking on your A!
I love your Beverly, what a handy old tool, I bet you use it so much! Love the zephyr build bud 👍 tell Brenda I says hi!
Beautiful work. Thanks for posting
Hi from New Zealand! Love your work!
This type of work takes a lot of time and effort, plus a lot of $$$$
Awesome fabrication
Bill Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Always a great teaching session. I look forward to the next video.
haha it is a body by fisher! Keep up the good work Karl!
Totally agree with you on the grinder discs. I start with a 3" disc, then cut it down to a 2" pad, then a1" pad, then a worn out pad thats about 3/4" or less. You can get in tighter areas for free! And use up the disc to the max!
I can't wait to see the trunk
Your thumbnail pic is hilarious.... outstanding work as always Karl....💯🙂👍🙏
Matco Tools in the big drawer is to remove an install tie rod ends an those pieces in the top right drawer go with it. An black hawk was like bluepoint for mac
You make so beautiful welds no body does it better than you !
Thank you!
Totally agree on the TIG or MIG decision making process. welding in some floor pans today. Going with the MIG because its a floor pan and its going to get covered both top and bottom. Great video as always. I met Mike a couple of years ago at Bonneville. Very talented and Knowledgeble guy.
Thanks Larry! Yea man there is a time and a place for both in this industry for sure!
Nice!!!! My saying is "Expensive sandpaper is expensive but cheap sandpaper is more expensive."
Fantastic work! Looks amazing! Go Japhands Kustoms, keep moving forward!
Very nice job and interesting projectt. Thank you.
This looks so perfect! I've seen many that didn't have good metalworking and didn't last over time. Yours would be amazing in bare polished steel.
piss off scammer. @ClickOnProfileT871
That would be rad
Brushed finish and clear coated. I could see it now! @@MakeItKustom
You always do awesome work 👍
The way you explained the 3m...you should be a spokesman lol Great job karl 😉
Haha honesty is a good sales pitch
Ahh Karl! The only weekend I can’t attend! Would love to take that class. It’s Motorcycle Hillclimb weekend this weekend.
Real nice work Karl!
Recently I was under a truck welding and grinding some floor support pillars doing this over head. I The next morning and 8 more plus mornings I could not hardly open my eyes because of the grinder dust seems to me the dust was merely going around my glasses and into my eyes. I see your wearing a full face shield very very smart while grinding. Another time I took a air hose and blew out my dirty nasty shop floor that was covered in grinder dust...LOL guess who was in severe eye pain for days? . My ears perk up now when someone says shop safety. .
I so freaking LOVE the Zephyr, man.
Great stuff Karl !!!
Looks great!
16:25, mig sounds dialed right in!
I agree with the cubitron discs. Like my choice of using walter cutoff wheels.
I am so glad I found you on you tube dude you get er done and love the how to's so anyone can get there own project treaked even better because you want to Teach so kodos
Just watched cornfields part three of a mini tub. Wow! He has some skills
It's really looking good
Great job and so much knowledge 💪😜
I watch with amazement as you work metal as if it was clay. Still very curious how the rear of the vehicle is going to look. Time will tell.
Hi Karl, long time listener, first time caller. (At least as a member)
Man do I love the "Body by Fisher" master class.
Hehe totally stole that from @professorfalken4600 But hey! Good comments are good comments.
I can't wait to see the tig welded side go in. I bet you can overcome some of that small dip at the top and bottom inside compound radius curve. But what a challenge! That Zephyr looks astounding. I absolutely love your work, and if 3M were going to sponsor anyone, anywhere it should be you.
Thanks to you and everyone who helps make your channel so fantastic. I really want to go to one of your in person classes. Much like I want to go to Lazze's class too. Hands on is so much faster learning than even this amazing class you teach every day.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hahahah thanks for becoming a member!!
Outstanding craftsmanship
good job Karl 👍💪
Cara vc é o cara..muinto inteligente..vc é o Rei do metal..o resto ..e resto..
I still don‘t get it what it‘s all about giving that huge car such a tiny house. Not my shit. But I adore every little step you do, every move, every check of the shape. Detail dedicated devil. Fizzly fitting Fisher.
Nice work Karl, it’s coming along nicely.
You never cease to amaze me Karl 👍 great job 😎
FYI the Harbor freight Hercules 36 grit disks are just as good as the 3m disks.....and are almost half the price I use them everyday. I love them
