Great job! Tools are nice as well. Dad always said. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without! Still valid today. Thanks Tony.
Nice work on the crossmember and I love the home made tools, finding things you need isn't easy sometimes so it's faster and cheaper to make your own
👍👍👍 I found myself holding my breath too! lol 😁
I really enjoy when you go through the whole routine. You are a real craftsman and your knowledge is what we’re interested in. I understand there’s times to just pop it out and save time to do a simple job thinking there are plenty of other videos you’ve made. but it is still fabulous to see it done again. If not we can stay way back in 2017 and keep watching the old stuff. LOL love you man, keep cranking them out!
Definately one of my favourite channels. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the Tips Fitzee. Shafts from old shock absorbers or drive shafts from front wheel drive cars should be good for making some T-Dollies.
hi tony i find your work so refreshing to watch these days everyone throws stuff away instead of repairing it . theres no satisfaction in that .thanks for all the tips .p.s ever thought of becoming a teacher .youd be great .cheers tony elson ,in uk
Awesome tool's Fitzee ! Thank you for showing us how to build the T dollies and fine blower. Many thanks for always giving us the best tips and tricks in the sheet metal fab buisness. Your an absolute legend !
Great repairs! I love making homemade tools! “Until next time “
That looks like a nice first project for someone getting into body repair.
I enjoy all of your videos, whether it is working on the Stang or doing rust repair.
Another great video....glad you showed us how to make some tools...
Hey Tony, another good video, stay safe and cool. Catch you next week 👍
I like when you share your home made tools with us.
I keep forgetting to make a t dolly , next chance I get I'm doing this. Thanks mate , great work and video.
Love the "Stick around". Always makes me smile. Also love that you know where to draw the line with what the customer has asked for.
You sir are a real craftsman. I always learn something new on your channel. Stay safe, Joe Z
Thanks for passing on your tricks of the trade you make it look so easy - Noel Aust.
I’m continually blown away by your skill. You make it look so easy. Yet my results aren’t nearly as good! I guess practice makes perfect. Thanks for all the great information and videos.
Every time I see your work I get a desire to start welding and shaping metal:) you make it look so easy. Keep up the good work
Love the tips on simple tools tony. It’s fun to be creative in the shop solving problems.
I love your thought process and method of metal working. I was watching a video by Karl Fisher (japhands) and he was making the inner fender structure for an old Cadillac and while he does amazing work and it turned out perfect as I was watching the video all I could think is….I wonder how Fitzee would tackle this project because I’m sure your approach would be completely different but still end up perfect. Great video bud 👍
I watched Karl and thought the same thing! Both Tony and Karl are awesome at what they do.
As I was watching that I could see fitzee in my mind making it up from 3 pieces and welding it to avoid having to put a bend in those flanges. I can't imagine the mess I'd make trying to get that shape from one piece of metal
You definitely have the best channel and I always look forward to the next video 👍
PRACTICAL: That's the word to describe your work Fitzee (any other way is a waste of time) now I have a lathe in my shop too! Thanks bud.
Thank you. Very good information. Kind regards.
Made a T dolly from your tips a couple of years ago from a CV joint shaft and a piece of scrap from our local Tip Shop. Recycle and cheap 👍 could even be free if you have the parts laying about. Gotta love the lathe too 😂👍Cheers Fitzee from Downunder Australia 👍🍻
That blowgun using an old pushrod is genius…. Well done on the cross member as well…
Nice Job, Mr. Fitzee. Some GOOD idea's for the Up and Coming Bodymen..."IF" they hed you teaching them something
Thanks so much for all the Tips and tricks Tony..I used the cut and butt today to fix a rusted out mower deck. Have learned a lot from watching you.
Sometimes you make a tool for a specific job and end up using it for much more. I enjoy your videos no matter what you’re doing.
Awesome work Tony! I used cut and butt yesterday to install a rear window into my 68 cab, get to grind it down today after I weld the back side. I have a sheet metal piece I wish I could mail you that has a complicated pressed budge in it and a interesting stepped flanged edge for strength. It is only about 18" by 10" but I think it would make for a good video. Let me know and I could mail it to you (with some other goodies). Thanks again for everything!
Great video, took me a few days to watch it completely but great information!
Great video as usual. I use copper pipe as a backup for welding up small holes. I take a piece about 10-12 inches long and flatten a couple inches on one end then bend it over and flatten it again. That gives me 4 times the wall thickness of the pipe. It works for me and it's cheap. 👍 🇨🇦
Another good one Fitzee. I think my favorite.
Thanks for the dolly tips.
Excellent job.well done.
That rust belt goes through PEI too. Hehe. Nice homemade tools.
Very nice job Tony on all the items
Fantastic tool tip Tony. Thanks for sharing
it is good to see you back at the videos, and this one is great I will be doing that same repair soon .
Its time fer the cawt and bawt! Howdy Fitzee! Looking forward to the vid
Thanks for the tips and the tools especially about galvanized metal.
The tips were great! Made 2 T bars and a blow bit...Thanks
Thanks Tony for another great vid
You make it look so simple. Guess it’s your decades of experience. At any rate you motivated me to buy a Hobart 140 and an old 1980 square body. Heck, I just retired I got to do something!
I bought a Hobart 140 a few years ago. A pre-retirement gift to myself. You won't be disappointed. Thanks to Fitzee's instructions, I welded new steel in the door skin and fenders and replaced the rocker panels on my '04 Jeep Liberty. Start collecting scrap steel now. Old bed frames are a good source of angle iron. Your 140 will pay for itself in no time. By the end of the year, you'll wonder how you survived this long without a welder. BTW, If need be, I can also run my H-140 on my 5500 watt generator.
Congratulations on your retirement, Mr. Haver! As it seems you already know, retirement does not mean the cessation of labor, just the focus of said labor is now on the enjoyment of your life in your twilight, played under your rules and on your time. I hope those vehicles come out nice, and with Fitzee's advice, they should. 🖖
@@OldJoe212 FYI..... I have also used "bed frames" for projects (like my welding cart and a 2 wheel trailer for a cub cadet riding mower) but have had a problem not being able to drill holes in it.
@@OldJoe212 that’s cool I have a 4500 W generator with a 30 amp breaker that would most likely handle it also. My son in law is a part time scrapper and I’ve already cut out the sides of a couple stoves not sure of the gauge yet but it’s at least 20 maybe 18.
Thanks for the pointers and tool ideas! I made a set of T-Dollies after seeing a previous episode. Along with a body spoon, cylinder head stands, valve spring compressor, and cab rotisserie! Lol. I got the bug to be creative. What’s funny is they’re all heavier and work better than what I’ve bought in the past. Thanks again!
That was killer😀 Cheers from Vancouver
I love the way you end your videos Fitzee, with Peanut and the nice music. Too many channels have horrible "music" throughout, which makes the videos hard to watch. You educate and entertain us without added noise, drama, or swearing. Thank you! Your tips are excellent!
as mentioned below, because I had 10 indentation to make ,I made a jig to do it,worked out PERFECT thanks heaps 👍👍👍👍👍👍
‘Turn the welder on Tony’! Been there, done that, 😉
Thanks Fitzee! The tip for bending the indent is going to come in very handy for the rusted out seat support edge on my '65 Thunderbird. First time rebuilding a car and you've helped me a lot in the last year.
Nice work as always, I’d like to see some more mustang videos. 👍
Gonna be a shortage of Rod for awhile. We're all making Tee Dollies! Thumbs up!
Easy repair using simple hand tools. Thanks for showing us how to make simple tools like the T dollie and the blow gun.
I enjoy watching you work
Thank you for sharing...Another great video.
Like I have said before, I wish we were neighbors!
Enjoyed it. Thanks for the tips. Ronnie.
Oh, what wonderous results, when work is elegantly and resourcefully done! You never cease to amaze, Professor Fitzee. 🖖
Love the tips and tools. Thanks I’ll be making some soon.
Fitzee, I took 3/4 inch copper pipe and I inserted 1/2 inch copper into the 3/4 then flatted the pieces. I have a few, curved 90 deg etc. Works great.
Great video, just love the simplicity of your methods!
Thanks again Fitzee. Keep on keeping on...
I love your videos Tony. If I don't have time to finish watching one, I always come back to it. In my opinion "It ain't over until Peanut says it is"🐱👓
Love your work Fitzee!
Nice work Tony.
As always great tips & techniques. Rick
Turned out really good
Love your videos 🙂 I'm gonna make a 2in1 T-Dolly!! So more like an H-Dolly, actually 😄
Great info,thanks
Thanks for sharing so much with us!
Thank You Fitzee! I think the way you repair sheetmetal is a genius working. I am always impressed by your approach. The "T" dolly was a bonus. David Adair
Thanks for the great video
Great work Fitzee...We would like more work (hands on) a lot less talk. Just because...thanks
as always thanks for another fantastic video! The addition of showing how to make the simple tools really knocked it out of the park.
An old welder told me years ago, if you happen to inhale some galvanize while welding, drink a pint of milk right away. It works! Really enjoyed this Tony. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Fitzee for another garage rust and tool laboratory show and tell.
I was wondering for ages how you were going to bend up the vertical portion of the patch then you didn't but cut it at the angle and cut the vertical part in. It's these simple tricks that are so valuable for novices like me who try to make everything fit perfect before welding in. Thank you so much for sharing.
Fitzee you are the man! Im literally about to start to repair that cross member in my Gbody
I always watch your videos to the end looking for Peanut.😺😺😺
Another great teaching video, Tony - thank you!!
Hey Fitzee - Another outstanding repair video! Well done!
Good show Fitzee thanks .
Hello from North Carolina. Love the content Fitzee. Always learn something new from your videos. Keep them coming.
Love the thumb measurement and that lathe! I need to get one for my shop! Great work as usual!
Another cool video Tony, it’s awesome hanging in the shop seeing what you’re up to, Wendy’s Mustang, krusty , the vista cruiser what ever you got going on I’m in
Kool video, thanks.
As usual….very helpful..thanks again Fitzee
You really do explain everything in ways I can understand. Thanks for the tips, and of course, seeing your cat.
Thank you for the tutelage! It has inspired me to fix my own panels on my 84 f150 one piece at a time and it works!
as always thanks for carrying and sharing 👍🏻
Always love watching you craft. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
Another great video Tony. I often use a plate or a chunk of aluminium to take the heat away.
Such great video as all the times! Thank you!
Great practical advice and tools. Thanks for the ideas!
love the videos. that pushrod blow gun is awesome, on my TDL . just need to find one LOL
Good stuff Tony. Thanks for sharing your tips and skills with us.
Home made tools are awesome
Great video!
