"Anyone can do a half-ass patch job, but making a patch look like it grew there, then make it go invisible without the use of bondo and seam sealer...., well that's a whole different level of expertise right there. The tips are always great Fitzee, you don't need to ask. I follow other hot rod / custom channels and have heard your named dropped several times, you are well respected among other builders /fabricators for the work that you do. Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back.

I used to watch a tv show called This Old House. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm watching This Old Car.

Never a truer word said there at the end of the video. It's not a race and the majority of us watching aren't professionals. I know it's going to take me a damn sight longer to do my repairs than you, but it's the techniques I'm learning, not how to do a quick and dirty overlap, rivet and fill job. I want my classic car to last another 53 years, and I don't care how long it takes me! Thanks again Fitzee!!

Thanks again Fitzee. Great video. Excellent repair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

'Back at it, again', is an understatement of metallurgic prowess with none to compare. Kudos, sir.

1st class job, fun to watch such skill. Makes an ugly job look fun. That is another repair to be proud of.

Dam waited weeks for this video and now its over. Get my fix watching you make it look so easy. Have to say I've used some of your tips Tony and they have worked out,( wouldn't post them on any video) but a lot better than my previous repairs. Oh well waiting for next video

Thanks Tony, always enjoy your videos. You have made this metal work so much more fun where it once wasn't. This is the best metal working U-tube channel out there.

You are a sage, Sir. Your explanations on 'why' you make certain decisions is very helpful. Keep the great content and knowledge flowing Fitzee!

Watching you and also Carl from Make It Kustom is definitely helping me with my work on my 47 year old 304 Cabriolet. Thanks.

I love watching you work. You’re a great teacher with all the little suggestions. I feel much more confident after watching your videos. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Nice work, patience and determination required to do a job as well as this. The people who gave a thumbs down would use window screen and bondo to fix that rust.

Ive learned more from you in these videos than from anywhere else. Terrific work!

Nice I like how he only does what is necessary not big panels that are not needed just fix what's necessary great job again

I really enjoy how simple Fitzee makes this using simply tools and his know how, he is a great teacher.

Great video Fitzee your explanation and how to do it is something not many people can get across to beginner's !!!

Fitzee only knows one way, the right way!!! Another great job, he killed it! Over killed it!!!!

Thanks Fitzee. I have a 60 Pontiac convertible with that problem. I like your comment. “ It’s not a race” . Every time I feel rushed I am dissatisfied with the outcome. Love your work. You have inspired me to take on more. Craigger

Hello Mr. Fitz! I just wanted to tell you that I just went out and bought me a 1974 Datsun 260z that’s not in all of stellar condition. There is a dozen areas of rusty spots and bc I’ve been paying attention to a lot of your videos made me and gave me the confidence to take on the project so it will turn out as stellar as expected!! So I want to thank you for your inspiration and confidence to do this build!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻

thanks for showing how to do it with simple tools and straight forward narrative

Hi Fitzty I would like to thankyou for all the videos you have demonstrated on your channel which have helped me get my classic car from a rusty neglected vehicle to what it is today.

Great job,, The one to one talk to us about not being in a race to finish a job but to do it correctly and enjoy your work. Take pride in your job .A++++ pep talk

I have a 66 tempest I’m turning into a goat love your videos teaching me exactly what I need to learn

Tony, help me understand why this video could be viewed 76,000 times with only 4,000 likes? Its beyond me.

Thanks Fitzee, genius level fabrication.

Thanks to Fitzee mentoring and simple tools I completely repaired the trunk edges on my 57 Chevy. Huge thank you.

I watch your video everyday. Love your work “ work smart not hard “ 😊😊😊

It's fun watching people work that know what they are doing. Looks great

Just made a lower front fender piece on the MGB I am restoring, curved with three bends at the base. Thanks to you Fitzgerald it came out good.

Thanks heaps Fitzee , your channel is helping me get things done at home on my project that I never thought I could … The tips are great

Fitzee's comment in this video, and others, about how you shouldn't get in a hurry or worry too much about the time it's taking to make a repair is spot on. I have been guilty of this myself on numerous projects and taken small shortcuts here and there and always regret it in the end. Getting anxious about time and schedules will almost always end in disappointment and failure. However perfectionism is also a deterrent to good quality work and enjoyment in the creativity involved in the process. There has to be a middle ground which is where satisfaction and happiness is the result of the effort. Fitzee is a wizard in this regard.

Always great. Appreciate your repeating things. It helps. Also "takes your time" is my new mantra. 😃

Thank you for your hard work and knawledge to make me smarter than I was before whatching yer video!

The tips were great. I really enjoy how you do this with out using those highly expensive tools like you see on those tv shows.

Making the impossible look easy. The tips are very very good 👍

Fitzee thank you for teaching us metal fabrication ,I'm your new subscriber,I can't go to school to learn metal fabrication at the moment so I find your channel to be very informative,thank you again for the content you upload sir! Now I have a direction on how to go by to fix my own classic gm cars for I have two very rusty cars a 69 Impala coupe and 75 Buick LeSabre convertible,thanks again Fitzee!

Great job been watching you for quite a bit now great tips I am in to a Austin mini for around 1500 hours now it's not about time it's about doing it right

Thank you for showing the process. You do amazing work

Another great video Fitzee. You make it look simple, but I'm certain that took a long time to do. Very professional. Thanks again.

Thanks for so much insight on how these repairs are done. I learn soooo much to apply to my own cars. You are a great teacher. Keep it up!!!!

Hi Tony, your teaching becomes on the highest level it can become. Great example of restoration. Thanks again for showing.

Rebuilding the trunk floor right now on a 1967 Buick Wildcat, but it is much worse than that example. The whole body mount crossmember across the back of the car (and the both forward facing crossmembers that are the tank strap supports)at the rear is gone, along with the floor to where the square press sections start. Your video has helped me figure out where the pressings are on the floor piece that is missing. Obviously the floor sections you are dealing with in the video are gone also... Some really good tips in your videos, even for guys like me who have been doing it for quite a while. Keep up the good work!

Another awesome video 👍👍

Awesome job. I always pick up new tips when watching your videos.

Another well done job .loved it. But I knew it would be awesome fitzzy. Can't wait for the next one

I really enjoy your videos

Very nice work sir!! You are a true craftsman!!!!

Brother Tony, Great Movie!! I learn something new every time you produce a video. Thanks!

“I’ll just Cut & Butt it in there” Luv it ❤️🤙🏼. Totally makes sense how that the 45 deg cut leads itself to the perfect fit-up! Even the Shop Aids are pretty innovative! Who would see a Dolly being made from some simple scrap bar stock. Brilliant!!

Nice work, you a good teacher. Like the way you work without a lot of high tech tools

I did my '68 Chevelle, both sides including the floor drop off sections And yes, I did it the ameteur way, like you said you saw dozens of times. Still holding on, but not pretty like your work, Tony. Great vid !

I like how you explain in detail how each step is done. I’ve learned a lot from watching you.

Dang man I learn something everyone I watch your stuff Sir … Thank You !

Thank you. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

You’re a legend…so much information to take onboard 🤔

Love your work Fitze , more please .

Picking up a '65 Rambler American this weekend and I hope I won't need these videos, but glad they're here👍👍 Much respect Fitzee🍺🍺

Anytime I feel reluctant to continue on a project in my polebarn I watch one of your videos and its just the motivation I need. I'm really grateful for your sharing your craft and passion with us. Follow you on FB as well. Off to my barn now- Mackeral

Love Fitzee's tutorials. He's a consummate professional, a master of his craft, and quite a unique personality. Thank you.

I'm replacing the trunk floor in a 66 Skylark. I was able to get the floor sections and the braces underneath. Having said that I still picked up a bunch of tips from Fitzee. Thank you so much for posting these videos. Very much appreciated.

Love watching your videos! Your techniques employ simple basic tools...most of the time tools you made for a specific purpose for a project. Enjoyable to watch. I've learned SOOO much about fabrication from watching your channel. Thanks!

Always something to learn watching you work Fitzee 👍👏👏

Excellent as always!!! The skills n tips/tricks you pass on are priceless!! Only thing that could be better is if you were a Dodge guy so I could have specific examples to follow...!!!🤣

Cant wait for the next one, I have been putting your inspirational videos to use and starting to rust repair a 1970s Holden Panel Van starting with the upper tail gate, its not easy but I just got to take my time like you say and do one section at a time :)

I have sure learned a lot from you Tony, thank you for all those videos.

I have looked at other channels doing bodywork and there is nothing compared to your finish and detail. The finishing of the welds so they are invisible and techniques for shaping the panels is inspiring to achieve great repairs. So many make a rough weld, don't grind it right down or knock down and use filler, but these videos show how it should be done with mostly no filler needed. The detail you show (clearly) is so valuable and I think it advances body repair techniques to the Fitzee method. It's almost worth buying an old car just to try and come close to the skills you are showing us here. Thanks for another great video.

Learning a lot from this channel, thanks Fitzee!

You are so inspiring. True Master Craftsman. thanks.

Hi Fitzee, Glad you made this repair trunk area video to show us what is possible. That little mud catching scupper was plug welded last from underneath? I remember those wildcats on the farm kids bought them as cheap party rides back in the eighties, load up a car full and go to the drive-in when they had carload specials, they caught some folks loading 4-5 kids in the trunks and had to make some rules for that $5 carloads.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn from you and the comment about not worrying about time! Was getting my butt kicked fitting a Camaro tail panel your comments got me back on the job and it’s looking pretty good. Ready for the trunk.

Once again, you made it look like the rust never happened!

Great work. Your videos make me feel way more comfortable when I make my repairs.

Really useful information explained well, presented at a nice quickly effective pace by skipping over the things we really dont need to see: grinding and such! THANKS

Once again, Great video, Fitzee! Always look forward to your new videos.

Thanks for the show Fitzee. As usual I have learned a lot from your process. Like you said it don't matter how long it takes as long as we are satisfied with our work. That is what it is all about. Ronnie.

Thank you. I learn so much watching your technique. As I disassemble my very rusty Alfa I think about how you would approach the dozens of panel and structural pieces I’ll be massaging in.

Nice job and a great work ethic. Thank you.

Your the best I seen I whatch you for hrs and my buddy is a body man over 30 yr I cot him to start whatching you to keep it up bub

love your videos and tips. You do things right!

I've seen these cars just like this. Sweet repair you dun on her..🙏😁👍 Thanks for the good tips

Brilliant. Excellent work. Thanks for the lesson.

Fitzee your an artist plain and simple

Always a great job Fitzee! You are the master of the Death Wheel. Only thing that made me cringe is....when you hit two hammers together to make the dimple. I still have a chunk of steel in my arm from when I was a kid by hitting two hammers together. When I have a need to do this, I use a copper or brass hammer as the striking hammer. Great video! I'm gathering info as I am ready to replace floor pan in my "83 Chev C-10.

Great tips. Thanks again Fitzee.

What a great video!!👌 I get very excited when I see the word "rust" in the video titles!! I've learnt so much from you Fitzee and I'm improving with every video, thank you so much!!👍👍👍

I just bought a 1948 Dodge coupe and I think I have learned enough from you to do most of the repairs. Around the top back window I'm not so sure of. I know you have a video on that fix but its still challenging. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I wouldn't even attempt to do a restore without your video's. Have a great week!

Good to see you again Fitzee, some welcome distraction from Lock Down here in Australia

The best fabricator. Great work. I would have also enjoyed seeing the underneath bracket piece also reinstalled. I was waiting to see it.

This is memory lane for me. I didn’t get into cars much not like my high school mate.

One of these days I will start on a fender of a 70 Kadett. With the help of Fitzees films it has to come to a good end. The best tip is to do one piece after another.

Your videos are very helpful. Thanks from Florida

DAMMMM FITZEE!!!! YOU'VE GOTZ SOME MAD SKILLS!!! AWESOME JOB!!!

Another great job! Looks original...........Ray H from the UK.

The way you do panels makes so much sense.

Every Time new and insane Tipps.👍 I'am from Germany.

Another very informative video on how to make a repair that looks like no repair was ever done. I thought I kept off-cuts, but my collection of off-cuts is almost non-existent compared to yours. You never know when you'll need a small piece of something for a small repair.

great Job Fitz, great job, well done. To say the least.

Very nice work. I have a little air grinder with 120 degree shaft on it and use 3 inch discs that work great for getting in them real tight spots. But like you I used what I had until I got one. I hope you had a great vacation.

Awesome job Fitzee! As usual!

Truly an Artisan of sheet metal! Always amazed at your dedication
