I have a lot of respect for people who point out when they've made a mistake and then show how they went on to rectify it. My hat's off to you Sir. 😎

Tony - I'm a strong believer that a skilled mechanic/craftsman (like yourself) makes use of the the tools and equipment available. You're a fine example that proves you don't need high dollar tools and equipment to do amazing engineering work! You are also an excellent teacher! Keep up the fine work and videos.

it is commendable the time you take to explain to all of us how to build things, there is so much knowledge and passion in your words, thanks for sharing your amazing work as always.

Always a great day when Crusty makes an appearance.

When watching your fabrication I can't help smiling like an idiot, but Peanut at the trailer makes me grin. I feel lucky to have stumbled on your videos. I'm sure most feel the same.

Tony -"In case I want a parachute or a trailer hitch" - haven't heard that before! The tips were good!

You are the man straight up fabricating gangster. I watch all kinds of fabricating videos on KZfaq. you're the only one who actually shows all the fabricating and thought process.

I'm 70 yrs old,and I live in Arkansas,USA. I greatly enjoy your videos,and even after 48 years of auto repair/body work, I've learnd a LOT,from you! Keep up the good work,and God bless you !

Great job, Tony... She’s looking good buddy... Nice of you to throw in the Mistakes part... Shows the rest of us, that things like that happen even to the best of Em...

Ol’ Tony makes exceptionally great KZfaq videos and the tips are always good. Every video I catch is top level content and I’ve worked my way through most all of them.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series. You've put a LOT of labor into Crusty.

I love your dedication to “looking factory” on your one of a kind custom hand made turbo charged race car

Love your channel. I'm 74 and you have shown methods I've used for years. So glad that you are teaching this to this generation. Doing my last ever car a '66 Plymouth Fury that is like my first new car before Uncle Sam sent me to SE Asia. Have a few young guys around that are surprised at what can be done with so little body shop tools at home. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together - they are REALLY fun to watch. I enjoy your enthusiasm for all of your projects and your ability to use very few tools to get the job done.

Bonsoir Fitzee vous etes un champion , humble et avec beaucoup de talent et de savoir faire .I love all that you can do .thank you sir you are the king for me. giant work

I sure like those rear wheel openings. So even and natural looking.

Congratulations , so much skill and patience , great to see how you fabricate chassis etc and the sheet metal work is an education,Thanks from an old Hot rodder

Wow no way will I ever build this,but I just can't walk away from watching!!!! I have taken note on a few things on the build in being able to adapt to other task I may do. Luv the way you explain how you goof up/went wrong and how you corrected it Keep up the awesone work/vids coming!!!!

Wow, you’ve been very busy. Thanks for taking us along and sharing the great tips!

The best car builder on youtube hats of to you sir . The only thing i wish is a could watch everyday .

Your not wasting any time and crustys turning out awesome seen you asking around the leaf spring group and I love what you've done keep up the awesome work !

Awesome to see her rolling! I have a 72 dodge colt 340 tube framed similar to this set up for drag/Street except straight axle front..

Hey Fitzee, amazing job so far. I wanted to contribute a little suggestion for your bare metal project since you'll be steping away for a little bit. Lightly coating your bare metal (or lightly rusted) with Kleen Strip concrete and metal prep (basically a mild phosphoric acid I think) will stop it from rusting for a good while while etching it. After a few hours, just neutralize it with water/baking soda although it actually doesnt hurt to leave it on. On rust, it leaves a white residue that can be painted on although I prefer to remove it with sanding. The product is dirt cheap at $15 1/2 gal. I've had bare metal parts for a good year in the high humidity of Puerto Rico and it just turns bare metal into a kind of a galvanized look. I even sprayed it inside hard to reach chassis sections with a long hose and a spray tip before applying rust encapsulator or paint. Anyways, that's it for that one. Hope the tips are good, and until next time!

Love your work, the time you take is amazing 😉 thanks for your patients of all this type of work . Wish I had your energy that u have

I enjoy watching the car come together and your explanations.

Great video and explaining how you are doing what and when, really helps you understand the basic of thinking what you are doing and what you should be doing.. A lot of viewers, myself included will be doing my building now using the FITZEE way of hot rod building, Thanks

an absolute welding wizard! Crusty is looking quite mean!

I've not seen that done before... It's a lot of work and it turned out beautifully!!!

Fitzee...You are a true craftsman,Love your work

Beautiful work, and without a frame table, blows me away. Keep up the excellent work, I can't wait to see further progress. I guess I'm old school too, I love it.

I originally came to this channel to learn your style of body work. Now you're drawing me in on the dynamics of chassis building. I hope you realize that you're putting a lot of stress on this old brain. Your teaching style is such that nothing has exploded yet. I most likely will have to watch this again. AS always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

always enjoy seeing you working on crusty. I still can't believe the progress you've made with that old piece. Another great Fitz video. your tips are worth their weight in gold. thanks Fitz..

Great video. I love how you explain all of your design decisions, show what didn't work, what did. Bravo!

This is a great project. We get to see how you go about building from scratch. You are a very good teacher. The t's and hoodies are awesome

Amazing work Tony!

I like the springs. Fitz your videos are helping the common man make his dreams a reality. This very common man hardly knows what a four link is. Lol!

I learned a few things watching this video. I’m currently building a 1937 Plymouth pro street car with a few trials and tribulations. Thanks for sharing Mark

Nice! She’ll now be the little Crusty that could.

Wow someone’s been super busy ! Blimey Fitzee that’s looking the dogs danglers I’m really impressed with what you’ve made out of basically nothing particular , shame everyone doesn’t think like this there be no such thing as junk anymore 👍

GREAT VIDEO , SO MUCH KNOWLEGE , and the best part doing it OLD SCHOOL , JUST LOVE IT , TONY THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Simply impressive. What you lack in equipment you make up for with intelligence and ingenuity. Fantastic video!!

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge. My first new car was a 1974 Corolla. This already looks cooler than mine ever did!

Looking grouse, my friend. Very very nice. Tidy and simple, but it took a lot of planning to keep it that way. That wee beast already looks mean and I can almost hear the sound of her gently idling at the kerb, making people look around wondering where the sound of the rumbling V8 is coming from....which is EXACTLY what you want in a sleeper! Looking forward to seeing her come together, but looking forward to the wagon project too! Many thanks for letting us ride along on this one as I'm sure we slowed you down a bit. All the best.

This is gonna be one wicked ride! Love all the tips & tricks, lots to take in on this video. You're gonna have to change the name from Crusty to Crispy. Thanks for sharing Brother!

Excellent Job Fitz....I have to tell you that I was scratching my head till the end of the video, your a true craftsman.

Hats off Fitzee, In a world depending on cnc machines it's refreshing to see how it was done in the day. - The thought process, challenges and workaround of not having "specialist" equipment and working with and around what is available...

That was an inspiring video for an old school guy like myself without the latest or greatest equipment and tools. And thanks for showing your mistakes, they are golden for everyone to learn from and proves your human like me. Thanks Tony!

I was looking forward to this build and haven’t been disappointed. Great tips and the detail you show is awesome.

I love Crusty. I've learned so much. These videos are addictive!

The proportions of Crusty are perfect, a nice tight look, great stance too. You are a "genuine" old school hot rodder!

This has been a fun project to follow. I owned the four door version of this car for fifteen years. It never got that crusty though. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic as always Tony! Very inspiring and I’ll admit I actually got butterflies when you revealed the stance, it’s exciting to watch!

Wow, awesome thought process video Tony, planning, design , engineering, fabrication. not forgetting , experience, circumstances and people ... as always ,thanks for sharing.

That is one cool little hotrod. Thanks for sharing!

Looking good Fitz you've done a great job on this fabrication...bud.

Thanks Tony for sharing your journey with Crusty, she's looking so good! Also looks like Peanut approves of it, so very important. Wendy will also love her car finished in 2022, hope it starts up first time and she get's to enjoy it as well. Cheers!

There's an "old timer" in B.C. who does the same as you, lays out the frame on the floor and welds 'er up. Great tips and Thanks .

the rolla is looking awesome! great work

Wow! You just got alot done. I'm just amazed and look forward to ever one of your videos. We just had a Blizzard from a Nor-Easter in CT and I know it was heading your way. Stay safe and warm. You do fantastic work and really inspire me to work on my car out my garage. I just wish it was warmer out there..

I like these old school builds. I hadn't ever seen a sliding mount like that before but get how it would work!

Love the stance, wheel tuck etc. Great video, thanks Fitzee!

Fitz I have to say an amazing job, I am a carpenter by trade and as we used to say over it to it when measuring out stuff is actually the same as Center to Center which is what you just explained I knew exactly where you were going with it. One thing for sure measurements don't lie! Neither does a level. My father was a second-generation Carpenter and he taught me everything he knew but then when I got hooked up with a guy in Texas that's when the real schooling started. I worked with that guy 20 straight years and he taught me everything that he knew, I had never met a person like that before they could actually look at something and build it and it didn't matter what shape it was he could do it. But the best part about it was is he taught me that the blueprints that he was looking at were never right and you always had to make it right. Anyhow my friend I just want to drop that in I have been known to tell stories to the people that I have subscribed. I hope you don't mind??? Many blessings to you and your family, I'll be watching especially when she hits the track.

Looks good on the chassis frame and the bags on the back. With the 8 pot in it it's gonna be a little rocket, I really enjoy the simplicity and patience of your fabrication work with the least amount of tools.

That should be a really nice rigid chassis for you to throw a bunch of power at 👍 I would definitely invest in a set of custom made leave spring bundles once you get your final dimensions and weights and heights figured out. Great job it’s really coming along, always look forward to the new videos!!

You have done a killer job on the frame build, I have really enjoyed watching this build. I watch a handful of youtube channels for car builds and this is one of the best channels by far..... takecare buddy.

You can show us your work on that hood too,, we won't mind at all, a great craftsman is always a pleasure to watch

Thanks again for sharing another great video. I appreciate your "keeping it real". Sometimes the best is learned by struggling through mistakes, although the frame do-over was was straight forward in your approach. Amazing! You have every reason to be pleased with the results.

You sir, have been a busy man😎 Nice looking frame on Crusty now👍 Thanks for bringing us along..

Enjoyed every second of the video, and of the project so far. Amazing progress.

Another great video by Fitzee, true car building!!

Just wonderful! GREAT "blow by blow" explanation of each detail, very thorough design layout using "old-school" rececar building techniques. Makes me want to jump onto my '50 Studebaker bulletnose! I can't wait to see the next steps. Thank You Fitzee!

Having read a few of the comments, I've noticed no one helped you figure out what happened with the frame wobble. I think I've figured it out, being in NF your in the northern hemisphere you have to add 1/2 degree for every mile from the north pole. Also take into account for earth curvature since you have two rails in parallel. Tony my head was hurting from all the degrees and angles. We all know that you do only the best that's why we are here. Great job will be watching from the 90 deg position LOL

Man, I had two TE31s at two different times. You're making me wish I still had them.

You’re awesome Fitzy! Thorough, efficient and you explain very well! I’m learning tons. Thank you!

Well worth the wait Tony. Great "Olds Cool" work.

It's a pleasure watching you improvise with simple tools while making top notch projects. Ya got me glued fast to my comp screen.Hope to see you making passes in Crusty in 22!.. Best wishes :)

Wow. A lot of chassis/frame details going on here. Great video, Tony !

Really enjoy your channel, I never miss a video....thanks for sharing your talent!

Love it keep them coming tony...

I just loved watching this Fitzee ITs metal Cut it and weld it! Dam RIGHT SIR!1 awesome work thank you for sharing!

Cool video. I always enjoy your stuff. Thanks.

Lovely job Tony. You have every reason to be happy and proud of your work Thanks mate. Tony🦘🦘🦘

Fritzee Awesome job happy to see your work it is Awesome

Dam rite fitzee. You should be pleased with it. That frame looks amazing even though you had a little boo boo. You fixed it and made everything turn out great. Thank you for these great videos that will help us all out with our projects

Huge progress on Crusty! Very good explanation of your thought process in building that back half and it all makes good sense and should be very strong and go straight down the track.

Your process is so fun to watch, I have yet to build my own but it is in the works.

Congrats Fitzee! Thanks for taking the time to share your builds with us!

Great video! Lots of information,tips and tricks. Valuable information. Thanks.

What a big step. Good to see the progress.

Another excellent video Fitzee!! You are an amazing fabricator and engineer. I watched Crusty from the first video and can’t wait to see the finished product. But I am also looking forward to the wagon build. Keep the videos coming!!!! I’m learning a lot! Thank you.

Great work Fitzee. I built a similar chassis under a '71 Pinto in 1980. I couldn't afford the popular Alston kit at the time but tubing was affordable. I was lucky and didn't have to fix rust. It was 94 inch wheelbase and quite a handful at 125 mph. Thanks for the great video.

great work seeing crusty as roller i watched all your crusty video excellent it inspire me to work on my truck in spring doing body work too

Tony you are so inspirational to watch! I don't know if any fabricator that would have taken on Crusty. You show that anything is possible! Definitely sticking around for your next video: 1:10:51 "I'm gonna be starting on the Wagon next." ❤️❤️❤️

Extremely interesting. Great work. Thank you.

IMPRESSIVE METAL AN BUILDING SKILLS .keep em coming

looking good love the work you do

Hi Fitzee, Heck of a lot of Brain surgery on this piece of the project and that you were able to gather other external resources to sanity check your ideas/visions. Rather impressed from the other ratrod/farmrod channel I follow that keeps things simple also. Looking forward to the rest of the rear setup. Waylon's Wire out in Washington State.

Great work, you make it look simple, but we all know it's not. Love your attitude, keeping it basic and building it the way you want it!

Great information. Better than just a promotional review where others are trying to sell product. Real world.

Making so much progress with this . Im in love .
