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. Göran i Björnarbo
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!
Another great video Tony, never let the comment crowd get to you. Guarantee that not a single one of the negative opinion commenters have ever repaired a rusty car. Keep doing what you're doing, I have learned a great deal from you
what comments are you talking about?? just because someone comments differently..doesn't mean they are inexperienced...not defending anyone...just how would you know who has welded on rusty metal?? lol...have You??
@@NialPowerCork yeah i watch most of his video's..never heard Fitz comment about any...all youtubers get comments or questions or suggestions about what they do..did..plan to do...how they do stuff....really isn't abnormal to get other opinions or suggestions...i hear that all the time ..in real life !! lol 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
@@NialPowerCork Tony spent a lot of his time in this video explaining why he does things a certain way and eluded to comments regarding that. Those are the comments I was referring to.
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.
Great work on the cowl build. Love you experience. I am 79 years young haha. Had a 55 Ford f100 to restore and 3 coffee buckets rusted bolts to replace. Lots of work. The cab was hardest to fix. I'll keep watching from Ohio.
I don't know why when I watch body repair videos, I have a tendency to skip ahead through boredom. I don't skip anything with your videos no matter how long they are. It's like watching a master at work. Thank You for another excellent video.
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 hope you never get tired of making these videos because I don't think I can get tired of watching them. Easily my favorite channel. I know it's not exciting to know this but you've inadvertently saved a mk1 Rabbit in the U.S. from being put down. Thank you!
Thank you Tony, you have shown a person doesn't need alot of hi dollar equip. Just a few simple tools to get the job done. Again thank you very much, Terry.
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!!
Thanks for another great video that demonstrates how a seemingly tough repair can be done with patience and simple tools, no need for thousands of dollars on high tech tools. Thank you for sharing your skill and expertise !!
Stumbled across your videos and have been happy that I did. That little trick to make round patches was the best. Thanks for posting all of the video's that you have
You make it look so easy, how you want to proceed with the next part is amazing. Don't let the naysayers get you down, they probably don't have any idea what they are talking about.
You're exactly right. You have nothing to prove. Anyone that gives a negative comment on any of the work that you do only wish that they had one tenth of your skill level. God bless you and thank you for another great video.
Great job . Looking forward to seeing the frame being set into place. I went back and re watched all the mustang videos. I am about to start fabing a rack on a 65 .
Thanks for the awesome video. I have always had troubles trying to fill in rust holes and blowing through. Thanks for the education! Now I have the correct info to be able to fix small things like that on my Camaro.
You dont need to explain yourself. Anyone who says they dont use any filler is lying anyway...all over-the-top show cars are skim coated in filler and blocked to perfection. Your patience is admirable. Keep cuttin' and buttin'
Awesome as always Fitzee. Crusts cowl is all dressed up with nowhere to go LOL .can't wait to see the next video. I'm always looking and wait to see what you have in store for the next video keep them coming and I will keep watching them. Stay safe Fitzee
I can’t believe how much I have learned by watching your channel. This summer I’ll be replacing a section of the truck bed on my 2003 Tacoma and thanks to you I have a good understanding of how to get it done correctly. I do not expect it to come out as well as your repairs do, but it will come out better than it would have had not of happened upon your channel.
Thank you for continuing the videos. You have given me the knowledge to try doing this myself and my project is coming along fine. I love the tip on welding the holes near the wiper hole. I had a similar situation and I was building little weld mounds…and grinding back to holes, just as you said. You are the best. Rick from Detroit.
Tony incredible work as always your content just keeps getting better with every video, your work is extremely inspiring and I’ve been using all of your tricks while doing repairs the cab on my 64’ D100 Sweptline project, one day I hope to visit the east cost in it!
Love the way you tackle major structure rust and rot one little piece at a time and finish with a very strong product. Thanks for teaching us older kids.(60)
Awesome. I don't have a shop with all fancy tools, just basic stuff. Welder, hammers and dollies, grinders and sanders. Something to be said ( and I love watching these guys) for the guys doing stuff with English wheels and all but to be doing it with the basics is more realistic for the average Joe. I feel more confident doing it the way you have shown in your videos. I can accomplish it instead of it looking daunting!
I was really nervous to tackle the rust around my windshield, but your vids have given me the confidence to go for it. Awesome content, more like a master class...keep it coming please.
This bucket-o-bolts is gonna be one lean mean fightin' machine, when you are all through. Once again, thanks for taking the time to share your skills with us. You and Scott at Coldwar motors are masters at fixing rust. Ever see the British Rover 4dr he is fixing/restoring, for his sister?? What a piece of Swiss cheese, that ole girl was.
First 30 seconds got me smiling 😆. Brilliant love your methodical practical approach that makes this more understandable to an amateur like me. Makes it less scary.
That was a awesome video! I forced myself to stay up and boy it did not disappoint. Great tips again. You are the very best bodyman on you tube period. Have a great weekend.
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!
Another GREAT ONE ,really enjoyed this one , I think I like your long videos most , not so much on some of the outher youtubers , you make it interesting with your knowledge and teaching methods , it's amazing how good the front of the car looks now ,looks brand new ,one piece of metal at a time, thank you

I could watch these all day. I'm learning so much. Many thanks from UK.😊

Dang. Thought I was going to get to see Fitzee make louvers using only a pair of pliers and a coathanger! He does GREAT work!
You’re the man, fitzee! I get a lot of enjoyment watching your work and problem solve as you work the metal 🙂

Good work!! Always learning from you, and I thank you!!

Enjoy your videos am learning a lot from your experience for a hot rod I am building
this is one of your best videos! you let us see the "real time" techniques you use tobuild these cars
Tony ,I can't get out to my own shop because I'm to busy watching you ole boy 😉
Thanks to your channel and sharing your knowledge I did I my first cut and butt. Replacing the inner and outer tail pan on my 63 Lincoln deck lid.

Yes Sr' well done 👍 thanks for your time and tip's
Remarkable work Tony! Great tip to leave the patch piece long while welding and trimming afterwards. Lesson learned for me! Thanks!
excellent videoand as always I am learning so much thank you Tony
amazing as always, super fun to watch and to those commenting about the sanding marks, post the links to your projects here in video then we can talk.
Another great video Tony! Don't worry about those "some of you" viewers, they haven't a clue!!
That's better than a replacement panel. Wtg Fitzee! Your great at what you do. Someday I hope to fix my own rust issues.
Another amazing video. Thank you for doing these
Great video brother. I needed this one for my project. Thanks again
Turned out pretty good Tony, That was a lot of work for sure.
Fritzee is the best, always learn from his videos. Thanks.
You cracked me up with this video. Lots of smiles. Great work.

I enjoyed watching you get rid of all that rusty metal in a straightforward manner. Like you said a piece at a time. It looks great!
Thanks, the tips are always good. I have seen some people use tig filler rod with mig welding for filling holes like those around the wiper pivots.
I was really nervous to tackle the rust around my windshield, but your vids have given me the confidence to go for it. Awesome content, more like a master class...keep it coming please.

I'm having to fill lots of small holes in thin rusty metal.... Lots of good tips on how it's done. This was a big help to me. Thanks!
Great job on a very complicated repair. Keeping true to the original body lines is the hardest part. I would say you have it down.
What an undertaking , that turned out great! 😲 If I produced something that looked that good I'd want to clear coat it. 👍😎
Nice job... end result looks great...
First 30 seconds got me smiling 😆. Brilliant love your methodical practical approach that makes this more understandable to an amateur like me. Makes it less scary.
