    You have mad skills and an awesome eye for details. I think Discovery should have hired you instead of the other all drama shows. I learned way more from you. 😊😊😊

      @MrDarrellmac311 11 месяцев назад +3

      I think Tony is right where he belongs. If he had a show on discovery Tony would loose creative control of the show. As it is now Tony can work on what makes sense to him plus he has merch for sale. If you really want to support the channel buy merch or share with a friend or on whatever social media platform your on.

      I know what you are saying but Tony would be much better off just having more subscribers then he would still have full control over himself. I try to spread the word for his channel when ever I can. I really don't think there is a better body work channel on the net.

    Hi Tony. From a distance, that car didn't look that bad. Your repair work is beautiful. You can't even tell there was repair. We should call you "The metal whisperer"!

    Hi Tony, I've told you in the past that I learned to weld watching you and how to tackle an issue. THANK YOU for your instructions and insight. I've been fixing my junkyard rust bucket 39 Ford Panel using what I learn from you. I've been at it about a year now and getting close to finishing the rough first body work so I can at least drive it. Still has a long way to go, but I'm going to drive it in the spring. Without your help, I could not have gotten to where I am. It isn't show quality, but it's going to be a driver. I've seen all your videos for the last few years and have learned so much. Again, THANK YOU for all you do. See you in the next one. Bob in Idaho

Teenagers in your area should be lined up outside of your door just to try and come in to attempt to gain some of your knowledge. By the way, we don't mind the long videos at all!

    I very much appreciate your videos, showing us how you break down all the problem areas step-by-step. The results are so impressive, and without any fancy tools!

    I heart felt nod to the owner who had the intestinal fortitude and optimism to take on such a restoration and for you, Tony, to possess the skills, knoweledge and tenacity to effect the mammoth repairs required to 'straighten out' the vehicle. The body builder who carried out the numerous abominations should be seperated from his fabrication tools and welding equipment and directed to take up a different occupation or hobby such as macramé or stamp collecting respectively.

    @johnnykeener919 11 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Fitzee. All I can say about that whatever you would call it that they did to that Poor Hood is more than wrong, it's a Sin. They smashed it's beautiful nose in. And that's just the worst atrocity. But I know you'll do your best which is a lot, and make it look as good as it possibly can. You do immaculate work. I use your name as a comparison word all the time when I'm watching other builders/Fabricators. I say like he's Fitzeeing the hell out of that, or he needs to get to it and Fitzeefy that. But however I say it it's always a compliment to you. Keep on Fabbin Fitzee. Peace and be blessed.
