- Back on the 49 Fleetline getting the passenger quarter ready for the new skin and come across some poor repair sections that needs attention first. using simple tools and some recycled metal I fix the problem
Tony is the Leader in making do with what you have and thinking outside the box. Miles ahead of the rest with his innovations and solutions! Stick around Folks.
Something we used to do in old school tool and die trim line was prick punch the layout line and essentially split the line when machining to that line. It makes a nice reference and would be covered up by the weld.
Tony, you've been doing so much with so little for so long you're actually qualified to do anything with nothing. Absolutely amazing work. 👍👍
Another great night watching Tony at his best. Thanks Tony!
You're a master Fitzee, I need to order 30 t-shirts from you because you taught me so much. Thanks again for these videos
I bet they’re lined up to get work done by you Tony… I’d say you have to turn them away !!! Once again..well done sir!!!👏👏👏👏👌
Hiya Tony great video as always I totally love what you do with recycled metal your a true master and craftsman well done the repairs look brilliant ♥️👌
if only schools were so interesting, we would all be craftsmen in every trade ...
Is it weird to say I watch your videos religiously?? But for good reasons. I'm restoring my own Merc and thanks to you Tony, my restoration is going well 👍 thank you Fitzee
Absolutely amazing how you always manage to think outside the box. Love your work. You along with Make it Kustom , Halfass customs and Yorkshire car restoration give me to much information 😊 thanks again Tony.
You should check out Carters Auto Restyling.
Thanks for all the details @21:30 . Really helped me fully understand what can go wrong and how to remedy it. 👍👍😎👍👍
Excellent information and presentation.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but seeing Crusty with a driver's seat is making me anxious for the next video! Thanks sir
Wondering who was going noticed that. Something else new on Crusty to!
The tips weren't just good. They're absolutely incredible! I would have been scared to death of that repair until watching you and seeing the logical process you use.
Your craftsmanship is amazing! To be able to do all that you do with simple hand tools is amazing!!! I always learn a lot watching your videos...Thanks!
NICE WORK Tony! Learning a lot and it's helping make my project not seem so difficult, just a little at a time and stay focused on one panel at a time! Solid.
I still love to see you use simple tools like the tank cap and a piece of pipe to shape the metal. You make it look simple, and it looks good too.
I watched Carter Auto Restyling videos on mig welding sheet metal and he likes to weld about an inch and then immediately grind the weld ... then another inch and so on ... says it tempers the metal less and is easier to grind and you don't have all that grinding when your done welding ... I tried it and it works pretty good ... like your videos ... seem more like one of us ...
He does a fantastic job on that. I been meaning to try it and see how it works out.
Nice to see your Rodent Recovery Technician checking out your project for possible candidates.😸
Rodent Recovery Technician 🤣
Pretty darn amazing how you could see the path to take with this one! It turned out fantastic! It boggles my mind how many hours go into these cars to return them to their original glory.
Glad to see you working again on the 49 chevy. Really enjoyed watching you repairing that front section doing the cut and butt. Them cleco's really come in handy. You did a great job explaining the process of cutting out a previous repair job and fixing it. This is a video that you have to watch a few times to really appreciate what you did, another great teaching video.
Tony, thank you for sharing this beautiful work you do. Everytime I wonder how easy it’s seems to you to replace all that panels. Keep on going with this wonderfull content. I watch more chanels with rustrepair, but in my oppinion you are the best.
Love the improvised tools. After seeing one of your previous videos I found an old disposable CO2 welding gas bottle in my garage and cut the end off - now I have a 'cup' to stretch metal into and a round dolly for shaping.
Tony watching you fabricate this panel from scratch is awesome to watch thumbs up 👍
Well done. Fun watching you put this panel together.
You did a fantastic job on that one, I don't blame you for using the compound curve it was still in good shape and a lot faster than pounding out a new one, awesome work as always Tony, and thanks for the education
Tony every time I watch it is like jumping off the top of a ladder I can feel my ball's drop a little more thanks you are truly the working mans teacher.
Phenomenal work Tony. You’re a true artist in this world!
You are amazing Tony! I've watched countless hours of your work. Thank you so much!!
Nice to see Peanut on the job again, checking out what's different from the last visit.
Hey Toni i really enjoy these long videos ,its nice to sit down and watch these are awesome.
I'll say it again, amazing attention to detail & quality . your skills are amazing , and with just basic tools makes it even more-so
Well that turned out great. It's really quite astounding how malleable sheet metal is using simple tools. I have more fun in my shop making tee dollies, dimple dies, and such out of scrap I have lying around. Great work as always Tony. Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks so much for this channel! I have learned how to fabricate patch panels for my 73 Bronco I am working on by watching you work. The explanations of your techniques are clear and concise. You have a video on almost anything needed to repair most parts of a car. I'm working on a sheet metal brake similar to yours right now. You have the best channel on RUclips for practical fabrication of parts to restore a car. Keep the videos coming!
Amazing work again watching you work have me the confidence to do all the body work when it seemed impossible thanks for the great tips and until next time
Audio editing for grinding has improved many automotive channels appeal. food for thought. i have learned more from watching you alone than hand fulls of others. hello from the west coast and thanks for the virtual apprenticeship.
Amazing craftsmanship ,i haven't seen anyone with your skill level an lack of fancy tools to accomplish wht you do, thts why I believe you are the BEST I've seen .I have always believed the only tool one needs is their head an one could build anything. Keep em coming !
I looked at that in the beginning thinking yeesh how's that going to go?! And then bit by bit you make it work. Looked like a tricky one. Thanks again for sharing your skills!
You do amazing work with just simple tools
Always enjoy watching you fabricate, as we all found out with Covid, sometimes parts and materials aren’t always available, found out it makes you look at the job at hand a different way, just like watching you! Keep up the good work!
Tony you are definitely the mad scientist of metal fabrication that was a very cool and in depth video. Who ever did the fabrication work on this car before should definitely be ashamed of themselves
A good common sense way to save a panel you don't have ,great job Tony. Watch , learn and listen boys and girls and what ever else is watching....
i could watch this all day , one piece, one section, one curve at a time .. as always , .thanks for sharing Tony ...👍✔
It's amazing what you can do with something hard to beat on, and a hammer grinder, and welder!, Ita so easily forgotten our fathers and grand fathers built their world with only those tools! Awesome work,
Thank you busy for being old school I watch your videos and applied into my project thank you again
Excellent work,always a pleasure to watch real craftsman work.great tips.thanks for sharing your experience.
Just got the notification for this video but not going to watch it. I only watch a Fitzee video when I can give it my full attention without interruption!
I also watch the full video in one go!
I don't want to miss any valuable information or tips, they are too valuable!!👍👌
Beautiful work brother!
Watching you has helped me redo the left rear quarter below the tail light on my 1954 Ford model 70B 2dr.sedan, great tutorial!!!!!*****
Hello Tony
You do magic thinks with the metal.
Thank you for sharing your skills with us .
It is a pleasure to see yoz working.
Tske care
Yours Frank Galetzka
I absolutely love the east coast accent. You are amazing at what you do. Very knowledgeable.
What's next, you gonna pull a rabbit out of your hat!? 🤣🤣🤣 Nicely done. It's fun to see how anyone can do it with just basic stuff.. I dig the idea of the gas bottle cap. If you modified it you could use the other side like the inside of a pipe... Gives me motivation to do the body on my 69 Datsun 510. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing work Fitzee you have some remarkable skills my good man 👌👍
Always a learning experience, Fitzee!! Love you get those radiuses just so!
Thank you for sharing!!
NICELY done,VERY HELPFUL INFO
Yet another outstanding repair Tony.
Best accent ever
Sounds like every town in Ireland with a big dollop of dublin
Awesome work too
Cheers from a Paddy in NZ
Fitzee's from Newfoundland Canada ! 🇨🇦
People always grind off soo much primer for spots. The bit trick is simple and brilliant.
Wow! I've been following you for quite a while and your tips have given me confidence to tackle jobs I would never have dreamed of before. But that quarter panel would have had me beat. I always think to myself "what would Tony do?" but that quarter panel had me overthinking it. You eye for what is a crown and what is a just a curve is spot on.
Excellent explanation on why you take the route you do to achieve desired result. Tips were great!
Great skill. Great video.
Another great video. You give us so much information that if we had to pay for it we'd go broke. Thanks for all your knowledge that you've gained from your years of doing different cars.
Tony, OUTSTANDING video and craftsmanship... For all that don't post but learn from your knowledge and experience..... Thank You !
Watching the maestro work his concerto is mesmerizing.
You have done it again Fitzee. Beautiful work.
This is very useful to learn
I’m amazed at the work you can do using these simple tools. I love seeing this stuff. Thanks
Another great repair and video!
Appreciate your honesty! I've been in that warping situation....
You make what looks impossible happen , Great stuff !
thanks for an amazing video. no high speed skipping through the hard work like most channels do
Thank you.
another top job tony...you have made the impossible look so easy "relatively"
i always try to use new steel which is not hard or expensive to come by over here in oz,purely to save time.
cheers joe
I’m looking forward to using what I’ve learned from this channel to restore my old truck. And my best friend’s car. And who knows what else. Thank you for sharing all these tips!!
That was a massive job, it must have taken you a few days to do it and then fit it into a 95 minute video. It took me three days to watch the video! You sure detailed the repair very well and turned a complete mess into a nice panel. Whoever welded that car previously didn't do too good of a job, but you fixed it. Looks like this car is a multi-year project, with all the work that needs doing on it.
Another great video until these videos i wouldnt have thought making that panel would have been so easy thanks fitzee
I ENJOYED LEARNING FROM YOUR VIDEO. I MUST SAY YOUR A MASTER CRAFTSMAN. SHALOM ADONIA!
Nice work Fitzee, I learned a lot as usual. Thanks.
Good to see inspector Peanut is on the case.
She does a very important job, that's for sure 😉😊
great lesson Tony ..Thanks!
Every time I see you do a series of tack welds like that, I ask myself the question: "How in the heck did we ever manage without wire feed welders?" I first used one about 20 years ago. A cheapie from Home Depot that ran on 110V. After the first 10 seconds, I was hooked! What a great tool! And, of course, you make it look easy, but I knw darn well that it's anything but. Just totally enjoying watching your approach to these different challenges. Carry on!
Thanks, Tony - great tips in this one!!
Another great video, love the long ones ,thanks
Hi Tony. Love the use of simple tools and homemade tools. Makes it easier on an old scrounger who doesn't need or have room for a shop full of fancy, high priced machinery. Not saying that wouldn't be nice if that was your business but us shade tree guys gotta use what we have, right? Thanks for the video!
Outstanding job Tony Looks really nice
Tony , I can't us a grinder as good as you so I had to get an air saw to make the cuts , but I can say cut and butt is the way to go . thanks for the great tips .
just beautiful workmanship Tony!
Excellent. Tony, you make the impossible not impossible. Thanks for all your tips and videos.
I think it was a nice solution to creating a new part. But I have to go to bake, to learn more about welding setting. Very good.
Best metal man on RUclips
Thanks for yet another great tutorial. Of course the tips were good.
You help me immensely with my projects. Some of what you cut out looks exactly like what I'm dealing with.
This answered all my questions that I have had previously. Awesome vid. Thank you very much.
My company bought me those long vice grip clamps today because I wanted them for work. I have them at home so I wanted them for work, They were shocked that they cost theym 65$ a piece !. I just said tools are expensive!
Chad you have made that car a sweet Sharpe pearl 😊
Another fantastic video!
Fantastic video. I definitely learned. A valuable lesson on this one. The tips were good. That’s for sure.
Amazing work,Tony! Homemade panels look as good as new!👍🇨🇦
Glad you back on this one. Can't wait for the Cutlass cruiser wagon too
This is awesome information!
Thank you Mr. Fitzee!
Your like the bob ross of metal fabrication
I have to admit it surprised me to see you didn’t hammer form a panel and fit it over top of the existing piece and cut+butt it, I did this on the rounded cab corner o my 64’ dodge truck, made it in a couple pieces as per your videos worked amazing! But definitely see your wisdom on recycling when the piece is still usable I wish I would have been more tender with my passenger floor pan
TREMENDOUS WORK THERE TONY > THAT CAMERA SHOT OVER HEAD ARE A GREAT ANGLE TOO >> NICE!!! 💃
