To all of the new students to Fitzee University. Watch every lesson at least twice. Like a great movie, you'd be surprised at the subtle little tricks that you missed the first time through.
Your awesome. The only man on you tube that shows the entire process, from A-Z explaining all the way. And not being hidden by filler. I have used your ideas with huge success. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques.
Some years back I took a course in fabrication parts in sheet metal on cars here in Sweden, 2 weekends about 25 hours in total which cost me 5 500 SEK (835 CAD) but I learn so much more from your videos and it´s for free! THANKS!! You keep saying "nothing fancy" but to me you´re doing fancy stuff!
I feel weird that all this wisdom is handed to us free of charge, thank you Fitzee. We know full well, he could have lessons, and charge good money. Just sayin' :)
@@mjm7187 CZcams has a channel membership, where you hit the join button and become a monthly donor by joining the channel. Fitzee will need to activate that feature, like most instruction channels do.
If only people that don’t appreciate custom cars knew the amount of knowledge and time it takes to create these masterpieces, they’d get an idea as why they cost so much to create. Time, know how, skill and understanding. I don’t have 1/4 the required tools but I’ll have a go at making repair panels. Currently I’m making an A-B pillar top section for a 1992 Ford Iveco XLWB motorhome, it’s got the gutter section, numerous folds and curved in sections that can’t be done in one piece. So loads of measuring, paper/cardboard templates, tack welding, drill 5mm holes for spot welding and now it’s becoming a substantial lump of repair section...may need a crane to lift it in place 😂😂. Great vids Fitzee...who said the internet is full bad stuff 🤙🏻
Clever people can do stuff that looks impossible. Very clever people can do impossible stuff and make it look easy. It takes a genius to do something that looks impossible and explain to others so they too can do it easily. You are that genius Fitzee 😀
New local subscriber here, good job , content and video, well done T, This is proof that a guy don't need to have fancy expensive tools, a big garage and a sack of money to put out good work 👍👍
Nice and thank you for holding class my friend. I love your example of don't over think it! I have been following this bit of advice since I heard it from you. I also am now saying it constantly while I was putting the complete floor pan in and repairing the back window channel on my 69 GTO. thank you
Thank you! That is going to help me sooo much! I am moving the rear axle back 9" on my 81 Cherokee when I go from 33 to 46 inch tires. I'm going to raise and lengthen the wheel wells and fender flares to keep the look I like so much. Man, thanks again!
I never really cared to do body work, but wanted to be ableto say i did all the work on my f350 project an xj project. So when i started searching tube for vids, im very happy to have found yours, learned much from your vids already, taking awhile to make look how i want, but your tips have greatly helped
I had lot's of videos to watch today but when I see one from Fitzee it goes to the top of the list , more great work and it is looking good . I have the same wheels on my 74 Pinto but they are 10 inch with 29 inch M/T 's .
NICE! Most race cars of this type are much more 'hacked' to make them work. This is much closer to renovation quality mods. Very well done. Another great video...
The tips are always great. Slowly I’m getting the confidence up to start working on my rusty junk and hopefully have something that looks halfway decent when I’m done. I’ve been watching all your videos a few times each so I can actually really learn your techniques and apply them. Thank you so much for sharing
I like the fact you give "REAL" tips & tricks...I've been welding for years now, .I still learn something new almost every episode from you..THANK YOU!!!!!
I always enjoy you videos your tips have made me a lot better and making patches and sheet metal work. That I am going to finish some projects I have been putting off a long time.
I need to hit like a bunch more times! Tony you have mad skills and patience for the work. You manage to tackle stuff mortals reject as too far gone, then make it look so easy... I have to wonder are you that patient of a person overall. What a beautiful quarter panel!!! Thanks 🙏🏽
Tony, you are a great teacher. What i loved about this Video was this process can be used for all sorts of customizing, for motor sports, fitment, and the like. I love that little Crusty, reminds me of my first corolla from 1972. The wheel fits like a smack in the mout !
I gotta hand it to you Fitzee, you know your craft and how to achieve great results with minimal tools and logical use of your years of experience. Love your work.
As always very informative I'm yet to widen an arch but showing us like this gives me much more confidence and I'm a great fan of that symmetrical look
Just made a mess of stretching my openings on a 70 nova a month earlier. Wish I had stayed closer to the arches like you did. Well thats how I learn . The hard way every time!
Fritzee University is an understatement - Fritzee has a real god given ability to communicate the process; no matter what the subject. Very well dun and I realy have learned alot watching your channel. There are very few artist that have real integrity and can teach.
The merch store is up and running. There is a link at the end of the video and the store in under my videos on CZcams. Check it out. Thanks for watching
I wondered how it would look with a fat slick on the back. I should have know Fitzee would make it look perfect! Awesome work, you make it look so easy. Thank you Sir for sharing!
Oh man Fitzee, that looks nice and it looks factory! Most of the time it's easy to see a wheel well was enlarged to get the big meats under the rear or to get more clearance for the caster swing on wider front tires. When someone does it right, I always catch myself looking it over trying to figure out how they did it. You made it look very easy. I don't know how you thought about all issues of things like cutting out straight across the top to the 90° point and going straight down with the cut. Then you described to us why your cutting across at an angle and not involving all that other quarter panel metal, I was thinking that was freakin genius. I can't imagine if I ever attempted doing that, how bad it would have looked. I'm sure I would have spent weeks trying to reshape the entire rear quarter to make it look half decent. Thank you for another great video!
The tips are always good I've not come across anyone on youtube that teaches as good as you do, Now get back in that workshop and show us some more LOL.
To all of the new students to Fitzee University. Watch every lesson at least twice. Like a great movie, you'd be surprised at the subtle little tricks that you missed the first time through.
Some I watched more than twice ... 'Repetitio est Mater Studium'
The thing I like about this the most is you can't tell anything's ever been done! It's still looks just like factory. Great job!

Very methodical, transparent about thinking out loud, and even critical of ure own work piece. I absolutely love it, new sub.
Fitzee, you have the coolest car show on YT.
Agreed, also the most practical for restoration.

There gotta be a way to set up an anonymous go fund fitzee account ;-)

@@VarandMusic he certainly deserves any donated efforts.
You could send him some money if that would make you feel less guilty!
@@c50ge I'll be buying his merchandise for sure.
Fitzee your the best! You do amazing work. Love all of your videos.

Once again Fitzee you've opened my eyes to a better way and a simpler way . Thank you sir
Very slick and it always looks stock when you’re done. A lot of logical thinking and getting it right. Nice Fitzee..
I get it....SLICK lolol

He made a template everyone !!!!
Worth the effort. You made the right choice, in my opinion.
Looks good. Only a skilled eye would know you did that. Bravo!

Wow, just wow. Fitzee hits another winner.
I look forward to each new video. Learning so much. TY Fitzee.
Fitz you are a metal working Genius. I admire your skills and vision you put into your projcts

Oh I like to see that! 70s compact cars rule. Lol
Again, a great mod to the 'Corona' Corolla.. thanks for sharing. Best to you and yours.
NICE! Most race cars of this type are much more 'hacked' to make them work. This is much closer to renovation quality mods. Very well done. Another great video...
You never cease to amaze, Tony. A truly talented craftsman! Thanks for taking us along.
Fitzee, you are a true master of your craft! Thank you for showing us how!
Hand tools, scraps of metal and a huge amount of skill and ingenuity. Love this project.
All your videos are pure gold! You are really helping with the restore of my 78 K5 blazer.
Excellent video on steel fabrication, Fitzee you make it look easy, stay safe thanks for posting.

Great job man, I like the fact that he shows the whole process in detail
I like the fact you give "REAL" tips & tricks...I've been welding for years now, .I still learn something new almost every episode from you..THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for teaching us your secrets of metal fabrication! I look forward to starting on my truck!
Brilliant job and explanation sir. Thanks!!!
I have learned so much from your videos. I’m still learning but I have made some pretty decent patch panels and your techniques just work. Thanks
Fitzee, your the man! Passing down all this info that has help so much and prolly couldn’t get anywhere. Keep on keeping on thanks
Sweet. Always interested in seeking this knowledge.
First class teaching again fitzee.
Many thanks

The appreciation for what you share on your channel grows tremendously when you have attempted this stuff before with no direction.
I gotta hand it to you Fitzee, you know your craft and how to achieve great results with minimal tools and logical use of your years of experience. Love your work.
I like how well you explain what you’re doing and why you’re doing it while you demonstrate!
As always very informative I'm yet to widen an arch but showing us like this gives me much more confidence and I'm a great fan of that symmetrical look
Great project! I can’t wait to watch it get completed....and Patches too!
Just made a mess of stretching my openings on a 70 nova a month earlier. Wish I had stayed closer to the arches like you did. Well thats how I learn . The hard way every time!
I'd give anything to know how to do these things as well as you, Fitzee. You've turned it into an art!
Very nice. I'm almost excited about getting back at the body work on my 50 Ford Tudor Sedan. Love the progress you are making.
your work on the wheel well is so subtle many people will never know it was done; the sign of an artist and a PRO. great job.
Genuinely excited for these corolla videos. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Artfully done! Great job Tony!
Perfect proportions Tony. If I hadn't watched you make the changes to the wheel arch, I'd never have known it wasn't factory.
Nice job. I always cringe when people simply cut out a big cycle too fit the tires, It never looks right. Your a true pro Fitzee.
This is such a cool build! I can’t wait to see more.
That looks much better than the stock. Stance is right on.
Fitzee, you are a Master Artist... I am always impressed. I wish you and CZcams were around 50 years ago 🤔. Bless you 🙏
Excellent content- as usual !! Thanks, Fitzee.
Oh man your working on Old Yota Corollas!!!! So glad I found your channel!
Very nice work, my wife thinks I'am playing when I am in the garage. I always learn things when watching Fitzee's University. Thanks!
I really like the fact you're keeping the changes subtle. For someone building a sleeper that change would be ideal.
A very cool project. This will be a fun and educational series. Thanks Fitzee.
Just....Amazing. I've learned so much...Thank you for helping us learn how to fabricate using simple methods!
Already liked , haven't watched yet haha, been looking forward to this one. Got a coldie and getting into it now, perfect Friday arvo👍 Thanks Fitzee

It looks like nothing was done to the wheel well. What a great job. Your tips are right on the money.👍👍👍👍

This is going to be such a cool little drag car! I remember driving them back when they were new! This will be way more fun!
Sign of good workmanship is when it looks like nothing was ever fixed repaired or modified Great job on teaching and explaining.
I love your videos. You make everything really simple. I'm learning a lot. Please make more videos. Thanks in advance.
Great job Tony, looks awesome mate!

You are spoiling us with all this content
Your a National treasure Frtzee!
It is just amazing just how nice that rust bucket is looking!

Awesome Fitzee, looks good, some handy tips on welding panel in too. Keep it up.
Great video and hello from Winnipeg ive learned lots from you 👍👍👍🇨🇦
Another amazing job!
The tips are always good I've not come across anyone on youtube that teaches as good as you do, Now get back in that workshop and show us some more LOL.
Great work, thanks for posting these video's
