    Good evening! Fittze . I’m an old farmer I Sweden, hope you understand me. Google translate is my best friend. I think I heard “ One pice at the time” in my world that’s Jonny Cash. If you look at the hole car it’s easy to say that old car is to bad sent it to the scrap yard. But if I take I “ One pice at the time” and focus on one part. My favorite car is my Volvo Amazon it’s alright but the front fenders, rust left and right will cost me about 1700 Canadian dollars.
    Tony watching your video’s makes me think that I can repair them. It’s 30 years ago since I changed rocker panels and a som more rust fixing on my Volvo 240. MIG welding on lot’s of things on the farm thicker metall än my old (1967 Amazon). I must try to repair it by myself.
    This Chanel gives me self- confidence , to try.

    There is a sense of pride in knowing how bad the rust was, and that no replacement panels were used. Thanks for making us all feel like we're part of the team on this rebuild.

    I think to be as good as Tony, you have to be able to visualize the end result before you even make your first cut. Fitzee SEES the end product and his mind and body work together to manifest it. I am sure of it. He's just that good. I am working on honing this skill. Thanks for another inspiring drop!!

      To me, he shows us that we can fabricate anything if we do it one piece at a time; he has shown me that what looks super complicated is easy by concentrating in one piece at a time. He has taught me to find the easiest way to fabricate a piece. I could keep on going. Thank you Mr. Fitzze!

      i also notice alot of commentors siding with a youtuber on anything...especially people who know little about what they see being done... run into that alot on channels... i don't know what a person knows beyond what they say in a comment... but if your experienced you can tell by their comment if they know nothing...lol

    A 1979 Toyota Corolla was the car I learned to drive in, the car I learned car control on snow and ice in and the car that my dad taught me many lessons with like what earning money to buy what I want feels like as I paid fair trade in value after cutting tons of grass and slinging tons of snow. It's also the reason I took auto body repair for three hours a day my senior year and became a Toyota tech. That said it's your personality that keeps me here for an hour at a time along with the skills. I will show my dad this when it does a wheel stand.

    I really like how you start at one end and just work away methodically until the work is done. All too often one takes a look at a panel like this and sees it as a big daunting task, instead of starting off at one end and keep at it. Good lesson again, for us who don't possess real coachbuilder's skills

    I did the bodywork and paint on a 71' Charger in 1978 while in high school and working full time at Woolworth . Spent every penny I made on it. My future wife of 37 years helped take the vinyl roof off and get ready for paint. I had to go to the library to get the little info I could. The info available from you and others on the internet is amazing. P.S. Can you build a time machine for your next project?

      Hey, we're about the same vintage - I graduated HS in '79! Was working on cars and trucks back then too. Info was hard to come by then for sure. Learned from friends that went to the vocational HS, a couple local bodymen shared a few things but always seemed reluctant to give away the trade secrets. Books, good books on auto body were hard to come by. It is truly mind blowing how much info we have available to us now from Fitzee and others!!

    What an amazing job Fitzee, you are a true craftsman and a great teacher. I agree on the topic of filler, it is a requirement to get the final detail shaping proper. Also the more "tooth" you can give the surface taking the filler, the better the adhesion. Great job Fitzee, you keep on inspiring me to push through the Rusty projects we get here in Manitoba. Cheers!
