deleting the two cowl vents in Crusty as well as repairing a bunch of rust in the front cowl on the 1978 Toyota Corolla K30
Пікірлер
Good evening! Fittze . I’m an old farmer I Sweden, hope you understand me. Google translate is my best friend. I think I heard “ One pice at the time” in my world that’s Jonny Cash. If you look at the hole car it’s easy to say that old car is to bad sent it to the scrap yard. But if I take I “ One pice at the time” and focus on one part. My favorite car is my Volvo Amazon it’s alright but the front fenders, rust left and right will cost me about 1700 Canadian dollars. Tony watching your video’s makes me think that I can repair them. It’s 30 years ago since I changed rocker panels and a som more rust fixing on my Volvo 240. MIG welding on lot’s of things on the farm thicker metall än my old (1967 Amazon). I must try to repair it by myself. This Chanel gives me self- confidence , to try. Göran i Björnarbo

A 1979 Toyota Corolla was the car I learned to drive in, the car I learned car control on snow and ice in and the car that my dad taught me many lessons with like what earning money to buy what I want feels like as I paid fair trade in value after cutting tons of grass and slinging tons of snow. It's also the reason I took auto body repair for three hours a day my senior year and became a Toyota tech. That said it's your personality that keeps me here for an hour at a time along with the skills. I will show my dad this when it does a wheel stand.

Fitzee. Hello! I am totally with you on your choice of aggressive grit. I was taught by a bloke (a fellow Australian!) who could turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. His constant rant was that you had to keep the panel cool at all times. Sanding/cleaning up with "friendly" 120/240 grit puts so much heat into rusted metalwork that it creates ugly distortion and a whole pile of problems that you DO NOT WANT. And these problems were not there when you started. I often wonder whether the threat of litigation frightens away common sense?

Books, good books on auto body were hard to come by. It is truly mind blowing how much info we have available to us now from Fitzee and others!!
Absolutely genius. Step by step makes it work. I never thought I could make any panels until I started watching these episodes. Last week I filled my first fender to door car gap! And I have lots of rusted areas on my project car I can now deal with correctly. Thanks so much.
amazing as always, super fun to watch and to those commenting about the sanding marks, post the links to your projects here in video then we can talk.
Great Job... I see nothing wrong with your work. Thanks for sharing once again.
The metal whisperer at his finest. Amazing work Tony.
Aleays learning something new. Cheers. 🍻
Excellent video,always look forward to the next one
Another amazing video. Thank you for doing these
Another excellent video. Your explanation is spot on.
Man that was some work you put into the repairs. I am waiting for the filler to see the end result of the cowl.
Good day from Australia Fitzee. Have been watching all the Crusty videos and am now watching how to remove spot welds with simple tools and have just seen how to sharpen drill bits. Am going to try that!
Thanks for all the advice.
Great job on a very complicated repair. Keeping true to the original body lines is the hardest part. I would say you have it down.
Great video as always, many thanks Fitzee 👍👍
Outstanding craftsmanship
Fantastic job Tony 👍👍👍👍
Always making it look easy. Thanks for the videos. Clean work
Another awesome job Fitzee. Never tire of watching your magic.
Fitzee. Hello! I am totally with you on your choice of aggressive grit. I was taught by a bloke (a fellow Australian!) who could turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. His constant rant was that you had to keep the panel cool at all times. Sanding/cleaning up with "friendly" 120/240 grit puts so much heat into rusted metalwork that it creates ugly distortion and a whole pile of problems that you DO NOT WANT. And these problems were not there when you started. I often wonder whether the threat of litigation frightens away common sense?
Excellent work.
Nice one Tony. Looking forward to the next one!!
You cracked me up with this video. Lots of smiles. Great work.
I could watch these videos everyday. Thank you.
Great job tony .bravo

Cant wait for next installment. I'm always fascinated with your work Fitzee. A true craftsman.
You are the metal master friend 👍🏻
I'm glade I saw you do this. I have to do something similar. Now I have a guide in how to do what I have to do. Thanks for showing how you do things.
Every old car I have are rusty so love watching how u save panels, fantastic tips, can't wait for the next one
Awesome tips I'm saving this one so I can revisit and burn it in my brain. Thx for your time on teaching this.
Good work!! Always learning from you, and I thank you!!
Great video brother. I needed this one for my project. Thanks again
Love it every time Sir.More please .
Fantastic work as always love watching your videos and always very well explained
Another awesome video Tony, always look forward to your videos when I get home off the road
Great video once again thanks for sharing ‘ keep um coming’ 👍👍👍👍
Great video! I learned a lot! You are a Master metal surgeon!
What an amazing job Fitzee, you are a true craftsman and a great teacher. I agree on the topic of filler, it is a requirement to get the final detail shaping proper. Also the more "tooth" you can give the surface taking the filler, the better the adhesion. Great job Fitzee, you keep on inspiring me to push through the Rusty projects we get here in Manitoba. Cheers!
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! thanks for the lesson!
When u get this car done nobody will ever believe what it started out looking like, until u show them the pictures and blow their ever loving minds! What an ultimate sleeper car 👍
