You know what I like best on these vids. No silly filler music,. No goofy friends around and the clown act that follows that you see on so many vids. The best is he does it all with basic tools most of us have and the whole process from start to finish. You have the desire to jump in on your own projects and have at it. Two thumbs up here Fitzee.

Love how you do things with basic tools. Not everyone has Throat les shears shrinking dies etc. thanks

Absolutely first class - pace and content of your delivery is spot-on sir. No excess waffle, great explanation of technique - you are an absolute gift for amateurs like me (and for professionals too I'm sure). The fact that you've retained a bit of your Irish accent is an extra bonus! Many thanks.

Very useful information on making the patch panel. The other thing that I was impressed with, was your explanation of the guard on the angle grinder with the cutting wheel. I've seen so many repairers using grinders with cutting wheels and no guard and they are risking their lives. I always have guards on my grinders. I have had two of these cutting wheels explode and the shrapnel was thrown harmlessly away in front of me, saved by the guard. Some guy here in Australia was using a grinder with a cutting wheel with no guard and the wheel exploded and hit him in the head and took out his eye. He wasn't even wearing safety glasses. Another thing is that so many repairers don't use hearing protection, so I was happy to see you using earmuffs and safety glassed. It's a good example for others to follow.

this channel is pure gold. i actually work in fabrication, but in much heavier and thicker material. and i've been doing rust repairs on my own project along with few others for work and friends. and man.. you adress so many problems i've been struggling with

YT recommended one of your videos... Dammit this channel is a gold mine. Really good content, thanks.

Hey Fitzee... I've been around a lot of tradespeople and I love the way you just "get in" and get it done! You don't over complicate the job and that's why in my opinion you're a winner! Thanks for sharing.

Fitzee, I am so thankful that you make these informative videos. You are a true craftsman and an excellent teacher if only you were our autoshop teacher in high school many of us would not have gotten a C grade. Amazing skills never thought you can save rot like that now I believe I might just have the guts to tackle something like that next time. Thank you for the great video!

When I was enlightened to the joys of metal, and became a disciple of machining, I couldn’t understand why welding was considered as vast a capability as the mill and the lathe. Watching this video demonstrates just one piece of the beautiful art of welding, and why each skill set is equally vast and critical. I may yet learn some MIG, but will never master that art the way you have! Very nice.

This is what I have been looking for. I don’t like all the stretch and shrink done with machines. I know you have to do it at times. I have used this technique for windshield pinch welds but watching you has been a treat for me. Thank You👍🤙😃

Love the old-school craftsmanship and also your accent!!!

Hi Fitzee! The experience and tips you are sharing are priceless. Thank you.

I really enjoy watching your professional tips. Thank you. 👍🏻

Your workmanship is amazing.

Thanks for the grinder tip! I’ve been running without a guard for years. But no more. I’m tired of getting bit.

Just found your channel. Simple and to the point, no fluff, love it. I'll be applying this knowledge to my 84 Camaro. Love the grinder guard mod.

Thank you for posting this. I used your ideas to rebuild the roof of my old estate car. Really helpful.

G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia I off ten wondered how you fixed hard places such as the dog leg you explained very well and showed how you did it. The one thing I commend you most for and it deals with work shop safety and that is leaving the guards on the grinders, you see a lot of blokes on you tube that have taken them off, thank you for putting it out there. Thanks for showing this kind regards John

Quality job with minimal tools, true craftsman. Thanks for the video.

I enjoy watching you make those panels I’m an old body man 45 years I’m still working in the collision repair and history but I haven’t done anything like that in 25 or 30 years it’s like old home week

I like your presentation. No fluff and straight to the point. Great editing

When someone makes it look so easy, you believe you could do it yourself, you KNOW, they are good, at what they do.

A moment of silence for all of those people who've not found Fitzee's channel yet.

A true master of his craft. Love watching a professional at work. Thank you

IN this world it's not what you do, it's how you do it that wins the day. doing things like this could save you lots of money.

Getting to see the whole process from beginning to end was really helpful. You made it look easy! Thank you!

Thank you, I keep watching getting the knowledge to tackle my restoration project.

Man thank you I’ve always dreaded rust repair and patch panel fitment you make it so simple now and prove you only need a few basic tools thank you

Thanks Fitzee, you are a knowledgable man. Thank you for sharing your techniques

Thanks Fitzie, so glad I’ve found your channel all the way from down here in Australia. I’m about to begin working in an old v8 Ford I’ve had for 20 years and you are giving me great motivation and some fantastic tips. Keep up the good work.

My rusty 89 trooper has been saved thanks to your simple informative videos!! Quick to the point but detailed enough it makes sense!!! Keep that content coming!! Im running flux but its usable for now!!

Awesome process and not only beautifully demonstrated but also explained.

Outstanding, very explained. Thank you for sharing those techniques. Keep up the great work.

Thanks brother! Nice to see you take it of the car! Original and new to me, im just a diyer, but learned bit by bit, and still do...its an art! Respect Sir! Bob. BElgium Europe🇧🇪

Made that look so easy. A testament of how good you really are well done

You are a master craftsman and a pleasure to watch! Thank you I am learning so much from you! Your teaching and explanations are on point.

Nicely done and well explained process. Thank you for taking the time to show us your technique.

I just started doin rust repair a few months ago and I struggled with a complicated repair for a couple weeks. I will try your way next time. I am learning a lot! Subscribed yesterday and gettin caught up. Hello from Saskatchewan.

Always good to see how to do things like this. Very well described. Thanks!

You are a very good craft man,and instructor. I have learned a lot from you, and I do every time I watch a video. I like your patches project. Thank you. Ronnie.

I can't stop watching your videos, the way you connect through these videos is amazing brother, you would make an awesome teacher, the amount of passion and love you have for your skills shows in the way you explain your methods, I really appreciate your time to make these videos, I inspire to become a panel smith like you brother.

Great Craftsman and Teacher.... I just came across your Web site and must say you one heck of a Bodyman who really simplifies how to repair and fabricate using the most simple tools and the results are amazing. I’m new to the body and fender repair trade and have yet to learn so much from anyone else. Keep up the videos and you are appreciated and I’m really looking forward to more of your skills. 🇺🇸

Your vids are helping me alot. I work at a bodyshop in PEI doing rust work & basically self taught. Appreciate you putting these out

Thank you so much for your videos! I'm a DIY guy and in my country we don"t have access to complex tools and your tips are very helpfull.

Nice work been a auto body combination man for 40 years. Keep up the nice work.. We're a dying breed..

Nicely done sir! I wonder why a handful of people disliked. I think it came out great.

You do amazing work man, just bought a welder so I can learn & fix my classic car.

From a Canuck on the other side of the country, just a thanks for posting your content. I've started a restoration with some panels required and I've used your approach and tips with good results so far. It's been a big help. Cheers

So glad I found your Channel getting ready to do body work on my 1970 Chevelle it's got some rust on the quarters and fenders that's not what I was afraid of its the rust around the back window and watching your video has shown me how to fix it thanks I have watched a lot of different videos trying to find one that addresses my particular problem and I finally found yours I've been a welder for 30 years you made the problem that I have look and sound easy to fix I'm excited to get started on my car now that I know what to do thank you

Your videos are always so great. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

Tony you make it look so easy. Great video!

Love your work Fitzee! Great practical tips I will definitely put into practice.

Wow, I have watched two of your videos and learned so much. This one will be invaluable when I go to repair the dog legs on my 57 Chev 4 dr since no one makes those for a 4 dr.. Awesome job Fitzee from Fitz!

Looking forward to apply your techniques to the same area on my own Z, very educational! I was dreading doing this section but now that I have a clear how-to guide I have much more confidence that I can handle the repair. 👍

Thank you Fitzee, excellent video. I am learning lots, most importantly not to be afraid to make something that seems very difficult, but you break it down into it's pieces and show how to fit the jigsaw together.

I have been welding and fabricating for nearly 10yrs now and always learn new things your content is great, I was very happy with the butt welding you shown us on the truck body with fuel filler cover and will now use the 45 degree angle cut myself rather than cutting flat with the disk. I also have to fit a fuel flap on a project thanks for the info

This is an artist at work!

Love all the excellent information and explanations as to why your doing what your doing. Thank you so very much.

You are a genius! I can’t believe how good you are at body work. I want to get half way decent at this stuff. It just can not afford to have other people do the work I need. But i am so excited to do myself! Thanks for all the help you give everybody.👍

I restored a 240 a few years back. We did a lot of custom mods where we made it look like a 1963 Ferrari GTO. On a quiet night, you can hear a 240 rust!

Fitzee I have been overhearing this video for the last two days as my husband loves it. He has also been quoting “that’s not how Fitzee does it”. You have a solid fan in him. Keep up the great videos !

Beautiful patch nice work Thanks for sharing Dale

Fitz could find ya . Glad i did . Just had my 92 bmw convertible rear fender welded rather than bondoed thanks to watching your videos! Now im goin to hav them put it up on the hoist to see if they knew what their doin ! Love watching n learning ! Thanks !

Enjoying these. Have a great festive season. All the best. Mat

Your the man mister……! I loved that. Going to do my front rear qtr panels for my 1960 biscayne. Thank you

Great tips. You have helped me a lot. Very pretty work!

Thanks Fitzee. You not only help by sharing your knowledge so effectively but you also remind my Canuck Woman here in the UK of home 🙂

Great videos, great tips, great explanations. You should have your own tv show.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wonderful techniques. Hi from Alberta

Thanks Fitzee ! Appreciate the tips. I need to fix up my truck and you made it much easier. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your great craftsmanship, I especially like your tip about building up corners from behind ( Ive learned the hard way on that one) also,how you stress the importance of just " getting the planes first".God bless.

Brilliant, really enjoying your videos!Best wishes from Wales, UK.

Really good work.It's amazing how you can take pretty much nothing and make a beautiful piece out of it. Metal fab is an art no matter what anyone says. You're a fine fab man.

Thanks for your amazing video's. I have had the pleasure of working with many tradesmen from "The Rock" and they do fine work. One welder told me he could weld a broken heart at the crack of dawn!

Good info and technique here, helps anyone interested in bodywork. This and ColdWarMotors are always on the money. Cheers

You're fabricating of panels is awesome can't say enough about them always looking forward to your next video thumbs 👍

I've used this technique for a while now, simply because I didn't know any other way. Always thought people would laugh if they knew how I was doing it. Now I see a real pro using the same technique and it makes me feel like I was doing something right all along. Thanks Fitzee! I'm now motivated to get started on a new project.

OUTSTANDING You just sped up my learning curve by 3 to 4 years.I was doing some of your 💡 ideas now I know I'm not alone. Thanks a bunch brother !!

You're THE MAN Fitzee... Top video and top work!

Great job TEACHER!! I have never touched bodywork😢 but my son has rust behind the rear wheels on his 02 corolla...and he and I will tackle it! Thanks for the ambition and knowledge! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very nice job on the patch and Thanks for the explanation. It really does help.👍👍

I've watched many of your videos and your easy teaching style has emboldened me to buy a MIG welder of my own and try fixing the rust damage on my '05 Blazer. The techniques you show and your explanations as to how and why they should be used are exactly what I hoped I could learn from someone. Thank you and please keep up with the great content!

I did it on 2 different cars now. Looks like new cant tell. All thanks to you 100% 👍👍

Awesome !!! After watching channels with moulding and shaping and stretching & fitting , This is awesome. No bullshit , just straightforward & simple for simple guys like me 🤪 Thank you !

I've learned so many tricks watching these videos I've been doing patch pannels for years fighting them with all the tips and the welder set up video Its making it alot easier and I have stoped secound geussing my self

Love your videos you've taught me so much keep up the great work!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

You’re awesomely amazing. A true master. Glad I found your channel. 👍

This is the difference between a hack and a professional... thanks for showing your mastery

Very nice work. I am just a DYI person I have a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 that has quite a bit of rust in spots. It's basically just a weekend home depot or going camping my plow truck for around the house. I think I will use some of these techniques to make it look nicer. Thanks so much for your videos you do great work.

absolutly love your work, thank you very much for sharing all your tips and tricks, they have helped me so much

So fantastic!.... thank you for sharing your immense wealth of Knowledge and Skill.

Aw! This will help me a bunch, shortly! Doing some small repairs and maintainance on my old Volvo, a car my grandad bought new many years ago and my daughter wants when she starts driving in ten years. Almost no rust on it, but a few spots. And of course they are in very tricky places, like under the plastic battery tray, were water has been standing unnoticed, towards the inner wheel well. Now I feel alot more confident in tackeling those spots! Brilliant! 👍👍

Very helpful video,thanks for sharing from the UK 👍👍👍

Soooooooo many mad skills!!!!! You Sir, are a bloody Legend, and I know I speak for everyone here when I say thanks heaps for sharing your awesome knowledge and tips and tricks. Invaluable 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Great video. Your expertise is very good. I have tried to do everything else but not doing it the right or best way. Your technique does take some extra work, but it is well worth the time you spend to get the kind of results that you get. Thanks for the lesson.

Great video, great explanation of detailed work process. Good job!!

Great Video, easy listening and good wealth of info, you do great work. Thank You!

Thanks so much from Ontario. Great tips.

That was just beautiful to watch! Thank you so much. Cab corners on my f150.....not sure I have the skill and or the time to do them, but if I do, Imma be watching this a few more times!

Well said Good sir! I currently have my Ram in my shop trying to fix some bad rust holes. This is very helpful. Thank you!
