Tony you never cease to amaze us with your skills. Every high school in the world needs a shop teacher that's at least half as good as you are. Thanks for posting.
Lovely, Tony back doing his masterful rust repairs. I'll never get tired of you fixing panels 99% of the world would scrap. Superb as always Tony, thankyou.
Have a look at Yorkshire Car Restorations! They're doing something fairly similar in the UK, although with a slightly less educational video style. Some of their cars are amazingly far gone and they still try to save any original metal they can. I also really enjoy their dry sense of humour!
70. yrs old in Nov and still I get memories of my father and the older guys that I learned how to make something with my hands or repair them, fitzee brings to the front what it takes to get it done with what you have thank you sir for your great work keep it up for our youth they need a guide like you
Another amazing episode Tony. I know no matter what kind of day I have had, spending an hour watching you work makes things right with the world. Glad to see kitty is nice an warm. Thanks for sharing.
Another great educational video. It's been awhile since I was able to watch your videos, thanks for sharing. I am always learning from your videos, even at 67 yrs old. never too old to learn.
I'm mesmerized watching you work with basic tools. Nothing fancy and hardly a skim coat of mud if it was to be finished show quality. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship.
You're adding commentary after you've done the work it seems. Not sure you've done that before. I really enjoy that approach, for what it's worth I say keep up that style. Again the work is great, so helpful to your viewers.
I love the way you break down what looks like complex panels into a number of smaller tasks that many will now feel within their ability to have a go at, keep the great video`s coming.
You did a fine factory job of knittin that fender bottom and inner brace back on , after a bead of seam sealer and a couple of squirts of primer.., you'd think it grew there, awesome tidy job Tony.
I want to thank you for all your videos man. Im nearing the end of a weld-a-thon on an LDV 400 panel van which your videos gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle. Its taken many, many weekends and evenings to get there but the van will be on the road soon! Honestly, youre an absolute life saver, couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again!
Nobody will know that the bottom of that fender once held tennis shoes and books. I like the idea of recycling. The world needs to watch Tony work his magic with metals. Sir you are Gold !
great shot at 16:00 of the welding process. So many time guys struggle with good penetration, this is what that looks like. An orange spot coming through the back side of the steel as you weld. very instructive.
I've actually learned a couple things from Fitz. Pinning down the patch over the old and using the old for the form. As well as pinning down the corners first so they don't turn down. Great stuff.
Another great one and I enjoyed it all, especially the real time section. The intro had me hitting the 'Like' button within 10 seconds. Thank you Tony.
Hey Tony, the panel came out perfect! You make it look so easy. The tips are good. Having a basic idea of how to form a panel helps a lot if trying to patch something where there is no ready made patch available. Thanks for the video!
Fitzee's Fabrications you amaze me. How did you know that I am going to have to do this exact same thing with my 69 Chevelle? You are a MetalMaster! Thanks man!!
This is a very useful and helpful video, as I will have to do this very same thing on my project when I get to it. Thanks for taking the time to make these instructional videos to help us with our projects. All the best from Queensland Australia.
I just had to do this very same thing in the same situation... Our 69 type 3 Squareback VW there also is pretty much zero aftermarket support for metal with these cars. It's taken me 4 yrs to make progress on this car because everyone was always saying you have to bend , stretch , hammer , beat , smash into shape... A lot of that stuff takes a ton of experience which I don't have. Your ways have really SERIOUSLY opened the door to opportunity and allowed me to ACTUALLY understand how to make panels out of pieces and it comes out even better!! The entire front window frame is all pretty rusted as well and there are a lot of crazy angles in that! I made a corner piece w/ your method and it came out GREAT!! I never in a million years thought I would even get to that part it's way too complex for me to make where i'm at and the lack of knowledge I have to be able to beat it into shape. The over all car is not in bad shape at all just some rust in the worst places I want fixed... I also have a 71 Audi 60L which were never sold here in the states , it's extremely rare here, actually the only one I've ever seen. had to buy it when it came up for sale. it's REALLY rusty! Doesn't " look " too bad from 10ft but frame and other areas are pretty rough!! Hopefully When I get done with the Squareback and the work I'm doing in a friends metal shop I'll have better knowledge and experience to take on that car!! ANYWAY, All of this babble, I'm just excited to say thanks for your videos and the help you provide!! YOU single handedly helped me make massive progress way more than any other video's i've watched over the last 4 yrs w/ this car.
Tony never a dull moment or video im glued to the screen picking up new tips and learning how to fabricate . Thanks for taking your time to take me along and making these videos .
Another great video. I didn't realize how much I missed the rust repair videos until I saw this morning's post. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Keep up the great content.
Always AMAZED at what it looks like at the beginning and what it looks like finished. A true master. Thanks for taking the time to show us all how it's done!! Incredible!!
Fitzee's the best. His approach to Fabricating is so simple and it was there all along. How needs over rated and costly tools and machines when he gets right to the heart of the objective. Put all his simple techniques together and you'll have a master piece in the end result. I'll be saving thousands of dollars compared to body shop quotes. He is a true Craftsman. Thanks Fitzee!!!
Excellent video! Haven’t watched your videos in a while, didn’t like the audio, but you are using a mic and voice over. Major improvement,I’ll be watching from now on! Thanks from Idaho USA
You sir are an absolute master. I bought a shrinking/stretching tool for sheetmetal (very expensive) for my project and haven't used it since I started using Fitzee's method for making body flanges. An absolute time saver for sure. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Puerto Rico.
Fitzee- thank you for creating such great videos. I am almost finished with my 53 Studebaker. I would not have even attempted this project without knowing I had your videos to reference. I have made huge progress in my skill set from when I started. I am putting the time in and its paying off. You and I saved this Studebaker from the crusher. Its going to be head turner now!
Thx Fitzee, for the real time procedure. Very nice work. You said you are pleased with it, as you should be sir. That’s gratifying to create something from raw material with your hands and patience…tips were good! 👍🏻✌🏻😎
Fantastic Tony ! Im gonna attempt workin on a 1970 ford van hood spot(s) this way like you showed ....my first time workin with a yes welder....here I go !

Tony you never cease to amaze us with your skills. Every high school in the world needs a shop teacher that's at least half as good as you are. Thanks for posting.
First, we need more high schools that even teach this art! Then we bring in these Artisan's to teach it.
I really like your style of work, what king of wire do you use for that welding?
Nice job on that fenderbottom pal
I'm glad to see ol Crusty back in 2023. Thanks for the tips and tricks! I look forward to the videos you do. You make it look so simple.
Lovely, Tony back doing his masterful rust repairs. I'll never get tired of you fixing panels 99% of the world would scrap. Superb as always Tony, thankyou.
Just when the rust thought you’d forgotten about it….🤛 A warning to rust all over the internet….😳 he’s back😎
Tony is one of the best fabrication guys I've ever seen with just using every day common tool in the shop.

I really liked your mix of "real-time" and voice-over comments through the process. Quite instructional!

Thanks for the real time welding segment, Tony! Shows just how fast it can be done even with cooling to reduce warping.
I love the way you break down what looks like complex panels into a number of smaller tasks that many will now feel within their ability to have a go at, keep the great video`s coming.
I see most of the car channels on you tube have adopted your cut and butt method.its works well
You did a fine factory job of knittin that fender bottom and inner brace back on , after a bead of seam sealer and a couple of squirts of primer.., you'd think it grew there, awesome tidy job Tony.
tony is the King of the rust belt
your videos inspire me to build my own shop and restore old cars and trucks
These tips and tricks are the best. You have helped inspire me to learn to weld and attack my projects.
Nice work tony! Crusty got a little less crusty!!!
you are the master of rust repair no one shows how to do it right only you thank you for showing it in real time
I want to thank you for all your videos man. Im nearing the end of a weld-a-thon on an LDV 400 panel van which your videos gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle.

Enjoyed the narration on this video. Sometimes I thought I was watching Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins!
And Crusty is still giving up the fun. But I see the finish line in the near future. Love the videos.
great shot at 16:00 of the welding process. So many time guys struggle with good penetration, this is what that looks like. An orange spot coming through the back side of the steel as you weld. very instructive.
Fritzee my friend you make body work look like childs play ....make believe in anything's possible thank you. You are Amazing

Oh yes Tony we all love a bit of rust repair.
Less and less crusty 🙂 Good job.
Hey Tony, the panel came out perfect! You make it look so easy. The tips are good. Having a basic idea of how to form a panel helps a lot if trying to patch something where there is no ready made patch available. Thanks for the video!
Always nice watching a PRO AT WORK.
The rust repair videos hooked me at first, but I enjoy the fabrication videos and the trips to the woods and junkyards just as much. Thanks Fitzee!
Its hard to believe your work. Very inspiring!
I could watch (and listen) to you all day. Thanks for the great tips and content!
We live in an r&r world and that's not how it should be. I appreciate all your work!!
Great one. I like watching these hand fab videos. Shapes, rolls etc....helps me out a good bit
Excellent skill with years of experience thrown in. Thanks for sharing.
Fitzee's Fabrications you amaze me. How did you know that I am going to have to do this exact same thing with my 69 Chevelle?
You are a MetalMaster! Thanks man!!
I never get tired of watching you working metal and fabricating patches!…You are a true Master!!!😊

Great tutorial! You have a no-nonsense approach that is easy to follow, and the results are amazing! Thanks!
Great video Tony, that's exactly what the 72 Pinto needs, I'm on it!
Love the metal working Fitzee!
Brother Tony,
Great Movie!
I like how you fix your glitches. I'm guessing alot of people would grab different pieces of metal.
Tony - Without doubt, you are a master of metal working. No fancy tools or materials needed, just the know-how and skills. Well done as usual!👍👍👍
Master fabricator!!! You rock brother!!!
She looks mint, truly NOS.
I'll be after you soon for the interview now I'm back in St. John's.
You have taught me so much from just watching the videos. Your such a good teacher !
Fitzee's the best. His approach to Fabricating is so simple and it was there all along. How needs over rated and costly tools and machines when he gets right to the heart of the objective. Put all his simple techniques together and you'll have a master piece in the end result.

As always, Tony, pure genius - a bit of old shelving and you saved an original panel 👍
Outstanding work as always Tony.
Excellent video! Haven’t watched your videos in a while, didn’t like the audio, but you are using a mic and voice over. Major improvement,I’ll be watching from now on! Thanks from Idaho USA
This a great tutorial. You're a fine craftsman and an excellent teacher, Fitzee.
Great job as always Tony and the tips are always good.

That was a great one, Tony. Real time weld up gives a great appreciation of the patience required. I've missed the rust.
Crusty might be Rusty,, but Fitzee will make it Ritzee!
Looks awesome. Keep the videos coming.
Magnificent video.
Fitzee- thank you for creating such great videos. I am almost finished with my 53 Studebaker. I would not have even attempted this project without knowing I had your videos to reference.
