Great video, I have worked at doing heavy collision for over 30 plus years and when you showed the tools that you use were the exact tools that I started out with even down to the square metal stock. Every thing that you have done is the sign of a true fabricator. Thanks for bringing back a lot of good memories of my past of 74 years.

Looks to me like the absolute best tool is the one between Fitzee's ears. Very inspiring to watch a true MASTER!

This guy is a metal GOD! I've seen plenty of other fabricators, old and new, and Fitzy comes up with tips and tricks that I've never seen anyone else use. Its unreal what he can do with the simplest tools.

Fitzee, PLEASE, keep producing videos and do not worry if you redo something previous. Your explanations are the most sensible for restoration with an absolute minimum of mud. Thank you!

You do us all a great service by just getting it done. I've been guilty of inaction lacking the right tools when in reality what I was lacking was the right approach. Super great channel..Glad to see your subscriber count on the rise

Again I’ve learnt something new And to use old panels A simple but great idea Never even gave crowns a thought You are the man

Thank you for all your expert tips and ways you do sheet metal. I have several cars that I need to do quarter panels and rocker panels and floors on. Your help is much appreciated and will be applied. What seemed impossible is now something I can't wait to begin doing. Thank you, Denny

You have a natural ability to teach and make it easy to learn!! Very well done

Fitz you are the best old school bodywork it is helping me a ton with my project. Don’t have money for all those fancy tools. Thanks for the video’s

Another great Vid. You just show us all that you don’t need all the fancy tools to produce works of art. Patience, Ingenuity and some lateral thinking. You make it look easy.

Well done Lad. I can’t believe folks have trouble understanding the Queens own English.

Just lovin your work. Am in my 70’s so got lotsa years to go. I was a suspended ceiling “mechanic” which in Australia we call ceiling fixer. We would put up a ceiling in any size area. If we put in a ceiling perfectly flat which is possible with laser and originally taut string line (allowing for sag) it would never look sweet. We had to learn to put a slight rise to the centre of a ceiling which made it look ‘right’. Now I’m retired using timber for home maintenance including 20’ sheds I always make sure beams have slight rise at centre never ever show a drop it would keep one awake at night. Seeing shed going up and rafters loading up ridge beam it’s so sweet to see it take up the load and settle just a wee bit high in centre.

Just wanted to take a second to thank you for doing these videos. I really enjoy them and always learn something from them. You're a good man

Like going to school once a week. Never liked school, but I like this one. Luv this channel!

Hello Mr. Fitzee. Donnie here from the welding works company. Just to let you know got my first dodge door today. Got a 4x8 sheet of 20 guage cold roll. Picking up some hammers and dollys. building a roll bender to crown metals. Have built a sandblaster from a 100 lb, propane tank, ordered wafer wheels, razor cuts. You keep teaching me I keep learning. I will have everything ready by time snow flies. Oh by the way built another new building to work in. Almost forgot, took your advice, came across a 8 inch x1/2 inch H beam, will work good for flanges. I'm getting anxious. Thanks buddy, you are helping me deal with the death of my son. Right now you are priceless to me.

This guy has some serious talent and knowledge.

30 yrs? I'm 3 mos new and thank you for the confidence needed to try this and floor pans. I dont expect perfection but it works, my goal is accomplished. I thumbed up after the 30th repeat.

Man I have been watching alot of your videos to come up with ideas and " how-to " . I'm 47 and have always been a go getter,(until 2017) I just wish I would have taken some metal working classes but I digress. I have been in upholstery for @27 years I like how you see a roof or hood or door and you know exactly what it would be good for.. I really appreciate you putting these videos online and how you explain everything in a very instructive way.keep it up bud

Fitzy, you have made me no longer afraid of my Bronco doors. And I have 7 of them of which 7 need rust repair.

Don’t care how many ads are on this video. Fitzee’s videos saved me time and money on my last project - repairing rusted out tool body on 1 ton work truck. 👍👍👍

Another great training video. alot of beginners don't have alot of money to spend on fancy tools or even a sheet metal brake.your videos are very helpful. thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Master Craftsmen don’t need expensive fancy tools to do quality work, great video Fitzee 👍 keep em coming...

As usual the best fabricator on KZfaq giving the best tips ! Thanks fitzee ! 👍👍👍👍👍

I've used old sheet metal myself on occasion. I remember one time taking the upper part from a mid 70's Chevy pick up door, flipping it upside down and using it for a door bottom on a mid 70's Ford pick up. Cutting up a 66 Falcon front fender to use the wheel lip on a quarter panel that you couldn't buy anything for. You definitely have the talent Fitzee.

Like the inclusion of that tool guide. You always provide the content I want without me ever asking.

I have to say I thought I had a good idea what I was doing but my hat is off to you sir you have a way of making things look very easy that is in fact not easy by any means. I love your content you use what is around and make it work that is how my dad did things and passed to myself wouldn't have it any other way. Also love how you explain things very well hope to see much more of your work ..thank you

Thanks for taking time and sharing your craft, it moves us beginners to a another level on welding

Absolutely love the way you explain and show how the work is done ! Some if not all of tips are simple but so practical that it's an "AH HA" moment every episode. Especially for us car guys that don't have a ten thousand dollar budget but love to tinker . Please keep up the great work sir always look forward to seeing your notifications pop up 👍👍👍.

Fitzee if you were teaching auto body at night school I would move from Ontario just to attend your class. Many thanks again for showing us newbys the old school way .

Thank you, sir. I watch your videos multiple times to learn more. Phil in South carolina

Absolutely LOVE your videos ! 👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing video!!! It's nice to see when you don't have a ton of money to buy all the fancy tools that someone goes back old school and shows you how to make something perfect with just a few basic tools!! Thank so much!!

Thanks again Fitzee . Your a true Craftsman .

Thanks again Fitzee! Great demo. Appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom. That combination is not seen often and is so needed. Priceless!

Always a pleasure to watch.

Fantastic tutorial. Please keep them coming. Thank you

I can’t thank you enough for your videos. This one is just fantastic!

I always learn something from your videos, thanks.

The first 3 seconds of your vid were gold and it just improved from there. Thanks Fitzee!

Another great video. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thanks Fitzee!

You make everything look so easy!.. Thank you for your knowledge and patience!

Thank so much for explaining the different tools that anyone can use and get on a budget 👍👍

Looks great fitzi,love the no nonsence teaching.

Another great video, on showing how you can do good work with the most basic of tools. And the source for metal is always helpful.

Excellent! I will watch this many times. Thank you for the great tips.

thanks for sharing your knowledge and skils, i really appreciate this.

Great video! Love the Nova behind you,,

man like Fitzee gets the job done! a true inspiration to those of us with limited tools.

I really enjoy these educational videos , I can’t wait to see more . Excellent work 👍

So glad I found this channel

Wish I'd found you when I had to replace the driver door corner it wouldn't been a great help thumbs up 👍

Great tips! I'm about to do a couple of doors and have to make the inner door panel too. Years ago I picked up a smashed up truck bed just for the inner wheel wells, from a car dealer and asked what they wanted for it. The guy at the dear said," Just take it because they had to pay to have it halled off." They even help me load it on my truck. I already picked up an H beam and have some old hammers that I love to use. I can't wait to get started.

Your are an absolute legend hats off to you for the craftsmanship you produce and it's a privilege for all the great tips and advice you give us all big thanks on behalf of every one who watches

Nice job Fitzee! Reminds of where I grew up watching the old time body and fender men work on sixties and seventies cars. Best wishes.

I just subscribed in your channel, cause I noticed you are very practical in your technic and it works with basic tools, nothing fancy, sometimes we think that need a complete shop to do the job and you demonstrate easy and useful tips. cheers from Ensenada, Baja, Mexico.

I wish you all the best .Thanks for the lessons.Lots to learn

I Love your videos... Sooo Straight Forward. Thanks for Sharing

A chevy!!! In argentina the chevy and ford falcon is the top's old cars i have a ford falcon and i love do the ristoration every weekend i do .. Congratulations for your chanel

Another great informative video!! You are the man!! Thank you!! I've learned alot in a short period of time, truly appreciated!!!

Great video. You gave us a ton or information in a short period of time. You are an excellent teacher.

Fitzee thank you that you show us your phantastic skills. Kind regards Ralph

You’re an amazing teacher 👍😎👍

Yet another masterclass Fitzee. Now if only I could get the years of experience that goes with making it look that easy !

Yes very good tips. love your work and excellent tips. Thanks

Thanks Fitzy👍 keep up the great work, I love watching your videos, very educational and inspiring.

Good informative stuff Fitzee thanks for showing it.

Wish I had found this earlier his tips and tricks are great I could have made a lot more of my own panels over the last years hope he keeps making videos I look forward to them

That's a God given talent! A Genius in your attributes to the trade. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for this video Fitzee great information with tools anyone can access

Amazing work as always Fitzee!

Another informative video on fabrication. I used 1.2mm (16g) metal from an old computer case to make new sill (rocker) panels for my 1982 Mitsubishi L300, as it was the same thickness as the original panels. Can't use new computer cases though, as they are only about 20-22g. Typical of everything getting thinner and less robust the newer it is.

Wealth of knowledge! I am a beginner metal fabricator. I am going to use those techniques!!

Thanks again Fitzee, I'm sure learning a lot from your wealth of experience. 😊

Another great video. Thanks

thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge

Just a beautiful learning experience.

Thank You for showing us how it's done. You are absolutely correct that it's not the hammer but the man swinging it that's important. Great tips and beautiful panel.

Really enjoyed your video and I learned a lot from you again thanks

I really appreciate these videos. I've learned a lot about sheet metal work that I never thought to try. I've been a welder/fabricator for over 25 years and I'm still learning. I recently picked up a very nice set of doors for my truck but they needed some work on the lower edges. With the help of these videos, I started tackling it and it's going very well for being a novice. Thanks Fitzee!

Very, very Impressive. Great video's, lots of useful tips, no bs. Very inspiring.

Love the videos and the channel as always! 👍

First doors I skinned were on a 32 Ford coupe back about 1964. I used the roof of a 58 Plymouth. I'd never seen or heard of an English wheel till years after that.

Always learn heaps from Fitzee👍

Thank you sir. That was a very nice job.

Excellent video. Very good teaching methods

Hi. Fitzee, thanks again for sharing your skills. It is an eyeopener for me for shure. No expensive tools requierd. I love to keep it simple and inexpensive also. Please continue to share with those excellent video’s.

Fitzee, Another great video. I really appreciate you showing that its possible to use the most basic of tools to get it done. You are a master with the hand held grinder and make your trims look so easy. For anyone that hasn't used one, its a difficult tool to use with the finesse you apply.

great technique and tips i enjoy your videos very much

I have NO plans to do any auto body work in the near future. I do thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for the time in posting them. Cheers from Pittsburgh.

Awesome as usual 👍

Thanks for sharing another great video

Fantastic episode Fitzee, I learned a lot. I don't think you're in the running to be named patron saint of tool trucks.

scrap piece of H beam is in my garage now, thanks for your vids

Some great tips mate 👍🏻

brilliant channel,all your skill comes from the learning process, im still willing to learn although I'm now slowing down, its great that you take the time and effort to do these videos,thank you

Your videos are awesome, and the accent is even better!
