repairing rust in the roof and drip rails on a 1978 Toyota K30 using simple tools and recycled metal.
The ability to take flat scrap sheet metal scavenged from old office furniture and turn it into complicated body panels with nothing but basic shop tools is amazing!
That well insulated garage may become a more attractive place to be as the weather gets colder so I'm hoping to see more of that as we go along.
Tony, you are a master craftsman. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Really appreciate it and really enjoy watching your educational videos.
I'm only a minute in and clicked like already, I know good work is coming! I'm dong the roof on my truck now, so this is motivational for me. Thank you.
Thank's very much .For letting me watch and learn .From some one like you .that is so good at his work .
The tips were great. I was wondering how that was all going to fit together, you make it look so easy.
I am having a tough time repairing a drip rail on the front of a 1993 Dodge D150 pickup. I removed 3 inches of the outer roof and 3 inches of the inner roof. I fabricated the inner roof and welded it in. Tough job. I have now fabricated the outer roof skin and have to rebuild the front drip rail. Tough job but after watching you I feel a little more confident. I am not at your skill level (I wish I was) but I am going to take my time piece by piece. I have coated the inner skins with a marine epoxy. Dries like glass , slightly thick. I have used it before on sheet metal repair and absolutely no rust years after. Thanks for your video Len V 😅
Talk about God send. I’ve been stuck on my car…. Drip rails, roof structure. I’ll be watching this a few times over the next weeks
That's no doubt going to be the cleanest, most rust free yota on the planet when you get done with it, it's amazing how much rust is hidden in such a little car, great tips as always Tony, can't wait for the next one
Rust is what killed them. Bulletproof mechanicals, but oh do they rust, that ones actually really good! 😀
Yep, even in Baltimore where vehicles suffer far less salt-induced corrosion, these Toyotas almost consistently met their end being driven to the scrapyard with their floors falling through
Can’t believe I watched you make that panel just like it was nothing! Amazing skills Tony just shows what can be done with a bit of bravery and know how . Amazing viewing ….thanks 👍
I'm about to replace a good inch or more in for my drip rails on my roof a 71 Chevelle and honestly what you've done here is a whole lot more involved Thx
I've learned so much from you Tony. I have a 1968 VW Beetle and learned to weld using your techniques. I will take a 2xl hoodie soon. Thanks!
Hey Tony, lots of great tips! Again!;) Through trial and error I've found the same technique when I blow a hole. Thicken the edge of the hole and work back to the new metal. Drip rail!:( You helped me a year ago get through the roof edge rust on my 64 F100. Inner and outer hood lip as well. I've been using a high quality urethane sealant as a seam filler. Printable, long lasting and much cheaper. My first jeep was completed fourteen years ago and still holding up great. No, I don't drive it in the Wisconsin salt. Almost all of the rust repair I've seen is from seam sealer fail and dirt and debris trapping moisture. Got to clean and reseal those seams !:) Thanks for all the help!😊
"Calm down, b'y! One step at a time!" You tell us, Tony! Love it!
Hi Tony, this was a pretty complicated repair….I love your approach and doing it in steps…..you made it look easy enough,but,it was a complicated repair……amazing how much rust was just sitting up on the inner panel waiting to bust out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making this video. The repairs keep you busy and taping it takes time. Another great repair !
Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle my drip rail rust. Your channel is all anyone needs .
Hi Tony, I've been following your channel for a while now, it inspired me to start my own channel, which is doing much better than I ever expected, much of what I've learned from you can be seen in my work, I, of course give you due credit for that 😊. The most useful thing I've picked up is the cut & butt process, it's close to what I used to do, but so much better. Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share your years of knowledge.

Enjoyed this video so much.... This is what I needed to see,, now I have some idea on how to tackle the roof /drip edge on my Old F-100.... Thanks again Tony, Excellent Tips....
I'm always in awe of these videos. I wish I could figure out how to do some of this stuff for my junk cars. I guess the first step is to cut into one of them and don't fear the mistakes.
That is stunning work! This video is a brilliant example of your method of breaking down a daunting task into small, manageable pieces. Thank you so much Tony
Amazing as always.

I Like the idea of using that RIng....I have used a Sand bag. I guess it does about the same thing. and just scrap around the shop.

Hey it's fun to watch a man who knows what he is doing! Great work as always Mr. Fitzee!!! It is a lot easier to watch you then go outside and do it myself!! Your show just keeps getting better and better!!
FITZEE ive been doing this type of work for almost fifty years i learn from you your a credit to the profession many thx
Really enjoy your videos have been learning a lot for the project I am working on
You are such a great teacher, simple explanations every step of the way. IMO the best on KZhead in this subject.
An excellent explanation!!! Worth watching many times and get more knowledge! Thank you Tony!!! Now I have an excuse to get a shrink-stretcher!!!!!
love all your tricks and tips Fitz like bringing the metal up to the line with a hammer. I've not seen this trick before good stuff. I used it before to get a sharper line but I've never done it to lower or raise the metal to the line. Great tips man. Your a true craftsman in your trade.
And another fantastic Display of your talent me son......I am 70 years old, have built and repaired numerous cars and trucks......You have showed me tricks I wish I had known years ago.....Keep up the good teaching.....it is priceless. Have a good day bye.
I so look forward to your videos every week there is always something to be learned from your experiance in metal working thank you my friend . God bless take care.
Thanks mate. 150 videos in and I'm still learning from you. It is much appreciated.
Master of metal ❤
Amazing work as always Tony. You make things look easy. I always look forward to the inspector coming out and checking your work.

Thank you very much. I've been looking for this since I first discovered your channel, pretty much right from the start. I've learnt so much from your videos. The tips were definitely good, thank you.
Mr. Fitzee, Thank you for another amazing video! This is going to help me repair the gutters/drip rails on my 1962 F100 Unibody truck. Greatly appreciate you and the knowledge you are sharing with us.
your a good teacher
Another masterpiece Tony. Not rusty Crusty anymore, now shiny Toy.
Great work Tony. The 'datsun' sorry toyota! 😆 is coming on nice.
The MASTER @ it again 😁💯
Fitzee all those years really come out in your metal work.. i always look forward to you videos. Thanks. You still need to protect them eys
Hi Tony, old Crusty is looking better and better. I had to make an inner cab corner for my truck because there were none available already made. I did it in multiple pieces more out of necessity than out of a plan. It came out pretty good and actually better than I expected with a light coat of kitty hair filler. Since the original panel was completely gone, I didn't really know what it was supposed to look like. It seems easier to put a little piece here and a little piece there, working as you go, untill it becomes one structure. Thanks for the video, they are very helpful! -mike
