Crusty's back. One patch at a time
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- Finally back on Crusty after it sat all summer not touched. Still have some crusty holes to repair on this car. Lets take the worse door and see if we can save it with one patch at a time
Tony, I've been watching you for nearly 5 years now and your videos never get boring, you' always make me laugh and, surprisingly, you teach me something new every time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Totally agree with you there 👍👍
As rough as that door was I can’t believe it still had the original plastic dust barrier inside! Normally somebody has been in there over the years and ripped that plastic off to get at something. Great to see you back at the last few rusty bits 👍
This whole car was like that. It's what attracted me to it
Was thinking the same thing and the regulator looked brand new
Would like to report that I did my first real welding repair today. Before it had all been just practice. The job was to repair a Jeep fender (galvanized) with a crack and a rust hole. Welded the crack and butt welded a patch with flux core. It was interesting that the sun heated the sheet metal and forced me to dial down quite a bit to avoid blowing through…real world experience! It was a lot of fun. Thanks for your teachings.
Never get tired of you welding Tony
Simple tools,simple welds,nothin fancy. Fantastic results, Tony!! Memphis, USA
Posted 12 seconds and BAM, I’m sittin comfy watching some REAL metalwork!
This guy amazes me to the point where I was on the old inner web looking for a door skin for him. Well I didn’t find one some We’re five and six hundred dollars For a door
I think Tony doing the right thing, keeping his money in his pocket
Tony has some serious patience. Nice job.
Glad to see Crusty again. My favorite project. Every video puts Crusty one step closer to the track.
My young bloke loves you hey . He bought hes own crusty it’s same but a four door that he’s going to make two door he’s only 13 but he’s picked up so much watching u hey .
@@shaynewilliams2594 nothing wrong with a more door! Think it is cool to hear stories like this.
I've been working on an 87 Pontiac Parisienne I inherited from my friend. I've been working on welding in pieces as I've been going through the car. Parts are hard to come by for it as well. I've gotten lucky with some of the harder bits. Like the drivers side floor and the spare tire well. All the other stuff I've made patches and butt welded in. Have a couple more patches to make then I'll be happy. Thanks for teaching me your tips Fitzee!
Another great video… all those little repairs can really chew up your time. On my Porsche… down here in the states… I had my doors dipped. Came back with all clean metal. Bottoms had been rusted through. I do what you do.. break it down and do one small repair at a time. They came out good. I do the cut and butt where I can… thanks Tony! I’m addicted to your videos. They get better each week.
Love your work, and I can’t wait to see the finished Crusty!
You are very impressive sir, anyone else would look for replacement doors. Watching and learning from you. I laughed when you did the flux core video, so it wasn't just my lack of welding skills 😄. Thank you.
Tony, the beauty of your work is the simplicity of it. Nothing special or complex. I bought myself a welding set up with gas bottles and I’m looking forward to learning the old cut and butt technique. Thank you for the inspiration!
Crusty is getting better and better, that's coming from Peanut herself.
Thanks Tony 👍💪✌
It’s funny how many times you can get the shape you need with just a bench vice a hammer and your hands. I’ve learned so much from watching you over the years but the biggest thing is don’t overthink it. If it looks too complex then break it down into pieces. It normally doesn’t take any fancy tools to make what you need 👍
Your sense of proportion in these patches is always so spot on. It’s uncanny.
Always great tips Tony and it's good to see ole crusty back in fabrication, still looking forward to Patches too
Skills and more skills with talent and good advice…this is such a brilliant channel Fitzee nice work !old Crusty sure has been given a second chance good on you 👍
This is quite an education, jumping around doing smaller pieces 1st, then moving on. Thanks again for the education.
I have been working on a 72 Monte Carlo for the last 6 months, finally mechanically complete. The body is in ridiculously good shape for a Minnesota car but still has a few little rust spots that I need to fix and have REALLY been putting off but I finally got going on it today. This video is just the inspiration I need to get out there and don’t over think it and just get it done 👍
Fantastic video, Tony. Your attention to detail is on another level. I always learn something from you. Thank you for sharing your skills. 😎👍
Hey Tony, thanks again for all the tips. You talk about bare metal being exposed in hard to paint areas from the factory. I've found the same thing. If you couldn't hit it with the spray gun it went bare. I'm finishing up a 65 F350 that had been used in the sod industry. They must have hauled fertilizer with it and didn't do much to clean it after. The cab, besides being banged to hell and back, was severely pitted. No way to grind all the corrosion off. Wire brush in the drill and rust converter before primer plus a little fill. Now comes the really tedious stuff. Door weatherstripping, reupholster the seat as well as clean up and paint the dump box. I'm trying to take advantage of the warm dry weather here in Wisconsin because it's going to change soon. Thanks again for all the help!😊
I've found the best idea is to repair the rust first, paint the panel, then treat the inside seams with fish oil. I pumped two cans of fish oil into my 1982 Mitsubishi L300 when I did it up to register it.
So great to see Crusty back. Great work.
How do you manage to come up with these amazing ideas? Never stop!

I've been watching you work for a while now and I still find it amazing how well you can finish off the patches. I really want to try doing that being retired but I can get enough $$ together to buy everything thing I would need for a setup. Fun to watch you do it.
Your videos give me inspiration to push on with saving and repairing my vehicles, despite what other's say about the monetary value of my vehicles.
For me I try to fix and maintain my vehicles because they mean something to me, and because I don't want to just throw things away for the sake of buying something new.
You always make it logical to repair one step at a time. I always learn from your videos!
Gday from Aus again Tony, I worked in a wrecking yard for many years here around the Corolla time and the vast majority of those Corolla’s here were four door, so your saving heaps of time and energy anyway
Good job!!
I actually did my mechanic apprenticeship in the government workshop repairing all the gov Corolla’s!
Excellent work Tony The inside of the door looked in great condition Coming along nicely
What a way to repair rust areas. Good job Tony
My favorite tip?
Using angle iron in the vice for a sharp bend.
The tips are great and so is what you did to those spots you fixed. You make a great point, take it one small step at a time and don't overthink it.
Hi Tony. With something like a '78 Corolla, you can't just order patch panels online. How you worked it, with small pieces welded to other small pieces, you make your own patch panel. That's a great skill to build up to. Even on more popular cars and trucks, not every panel is reproduced. I think it's very helpful to show what to do when you need to repair a panel but there is no replacement you can buy. It was surprising to me to see how nice the inside of that door was, with the outside being mostly rusted away.
Well, that's the easy ones done, next is the two hard ones. Looking forward to seeing how you do those.
Good work ….
Try a “flap wheel” …. Cleans that surface rust much nicer, then a bit of grind for a good bond. I like how you’re very efficient with cutting and keeps your patches to a minimum. Nice car!
Thank you
The 24 I used I prefer over flap wheels. Both won't remove the rust as good as the cutting wheel. Less heat too
Great job it's coming together great, want take long at this rate,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Nice to see crusty back , it’ll be at the track in no time
Thanks for all the inspiration Tony.
Good to see Crusty getting some love again.
Peanut approved! Another great video Tony. Thanks again for sharing your skills with us.👍👍❤
I love the Crusty project. Glad it's back!
Very interesting repair. Quick and simple. The tips were good
Crusty is my favorite internet drag car. In the '80's I had a 71 Pinto with an Alston chassis. It was similar in size and construction to Crusty. It was a handful with a 94 inch wheelbase.
Boy, you REALLY like a good challenge, don't you Tony? Love this channel! This is metal working.
Like an artist working around a painting 😃
Nice to see you repair a door that was far worse than the one I just did on the Saab 🙂
I’ve watched you for so long it feels like we are old friends
My fav project.
Cool to see you back at it.
I'm happy to see Crusty is back.
Six months? Wow... does not seem that long ago 🙂 Must be keeping us entertained with all your other content!
Crusty.....missed you girl!!!
Thanks for good rips as always Fitzee...
Great show and great tips
Great Job Tony
Nice Work. Looking good. Looking Forward to seeing your next video.

As soon as you showing the door bar, the first thought that came to my mind was, "I would take them out to save weight.
Starting small is a good idea and not just for metal work. It gos for cleaning up spills as well. You can't do much for drips with a rag that has been at the center of a big mess.
With out help like this, I would have never tackled what I got into. I'm redoing the lower 2" of my wagon tailgate. I did the door jambs, now I'm aligning the side doors. Your right, little pieces at a time but walk away sometimes too.
I’ve been using your methods to fix my 58 Plymouth!
Peanut "No need to check those repairs, I know they were done right because you were using the gas MIG."
You get amazing results,I have the same welder you have and I try to duplicate what you do, but when I try to weld on a 46 body I burn through, and I make a mess of things. You make look easy,I make it look like I need someone to hold my hand.I took a screen shot of your settings to see if that helps me.
Good job Fitzee. 👍
The drivers door are becomming few and far between here in OZ as well. 😉
Why just drivers door? They rust like mine did?
Looking good and straight ! !
Nice job Fitzee 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Use Dinitrol ML for inside door skins. It has creeping properties that allow it to run into the seams of the door skin. Obviously after the repair and paint job!
You are the MAN what you do is friggin amazing and awesome.i bought the air grinder you use for cut and but.my buddy needs help on his 77 Ford F150 PICK UP.
Thank you Mr Fitzee
I repair rust for a living, Fitz - same methods as you use - I'll price most stuff, but not doors. If you want me to do your doors, it's going to get spendy & it's going to be what its going to be according to what it takes time-wise. You can bury A LOT of hours into a door getting it right. People don't realise just how intensive it is to repair a rusted not-available door.
I dont know if i would have even attempted that that door was extremely rough but guess thats why fitzee is the master
That door looks most suitable for a template to make a complete outer skin from fresh metal.
Thought about that as well but decided against it as it would been a full panel replacement and whole plan for the car was to repair all the panels and not replace
Looks like it's pretty tricky welding that tissue paper.
You maybe should paint “Krusty the Clown” with the cigar on the doors…. Nice touch
Hey Tony, there’s a bit of door in that rust…..
I picked up a 92 Toyota pickup for my son. Yes it has rust to fix.
another great one from the great one himself!
Cat at the end says it's just Fine!
Reminds about a Karmann Ghia convertible i did early 80's what a piece 😮
Tony u can have your springs reached at spring shop
You can tell that you have been doing this for a long time 👨🏻🎨
love your videos
i think you could try crc evaporust. seems to work like electrolysis but is applied topically. also reusable
When 50 minutes passes like 5
Absolutely Brilliant
More awesome tips, thank you sir.
Thanx Tony
crusty is looking good thanks
Master instructor.
PEANUT for President!
Still my hero
The video just isn't over until Peanut makes her cameo.
This video is Peanut approved.
Just found a 4 door 78 Corolla in Melbourne! Lol wish I could send you the screen shot.
@pauld8869 should be alot of those over there. I follow a few youtubers that have K30s
I don't know whether your rear springs are from a Jeep that was built during the years that Mopar had/has that brand, but Mopar springs were different side to side (or at least they used to be). They put a stronger spring on one side to help plant both tires during hard acceleration. I don't know if that is your problem or not, but you should at least be aware of it.
Tony how is patches? That’s the one I’ve been waiting on still. Greta job on this. Hopefully we see how you do the door handle area
Patches is in the shop has been all summer. I tend to get back at it. Seems to be alot of interest in that truck so I feel you guys ask ill have to deliver
WAAAAW VERY GOOD VEDEO THANKS...
I have that safe car in the boneyard out at the old farm.
Don't live down the road from me by any chance?? Lol
@@fitzeesfabrications sorry. Northeast BC.
Your right about not finding these cars. I hunted all around Kansas when you started this project. I just knew there had to be one sitting around, but not any that I can find!. I searched through the local yards and called a bunch all around the area. Mostly, they laughed when I told them what I was searching for. A couple of the yards did contact others that they believed might have something, but no luck at all. I tried!
Import one from Japan there everywhere there and cheap get it shipped back cost u 2k though
Yeah you just don’t see those cars around, especially in Minnesota, it’s rare to see anything even left from the 80’s driving around here anymore, they all rusted out and got scrapped years ago.
Thanks. That cool to hear. Even tho you never found one. The thought is what counts
You know where Japan is compared to where I live? It cost me 3 to 4 grand to get a car from west coast of Canada. A car from Japan would run me 10000 plus I say.
NICE NICE love CRUNCHY
Rust converter does not work. I've used it a couple of times and I've found that the rust reactivates again later.
