66 Mustang Project. Applying some paint!

[@craighansen7594]

I've been restoring, mechanical and bodywork for 40+ years. Found your channel rather recently. You have lots of good tips and the low buck methods are really helpful to the vast majority of guys and gals doing their own projects.

[@chandiaz7694]

Loved that family team work! My wife, my son and are and have done work on my son’s 1948 Chevy pickup truck. It’s satisfying to see family members get down and dirty to restore a vehicle.

[@dayslife]

why do it complicated, when you can do it Fitzee's simple way. You are a true craftsman Sir Tony. thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@paneltruckbob]

You don't have to apologize for ways to save money . It doesn't take brains to spend it. It takes brains to save it. Thanks for the Tips.

[@budatkinson3396]

I wish I had you to teach me back in my younger days ,you teach on my level

[@kamanthavalaidum1079]

Hi Fitzee can't wait to see this baby complete 👌👌👌

[@mjm7187]

Cut and butt and painting too. Another poster called it spot on as Fitzee University. Best bodywork instructional videos around. An admirable legacy Tony.

[@bradbilskie8078]

I wish i had a neighbor like you Fitzee , when i watch your videos i feel like i'm there with you thanks for the great tips .

[@allangee]

The only people disliking these videos MUST be the "professionals" that are mad they won't be charging as many people for services now that Fitzee is giving us more confidence to try ourselves.

[@jaxsamir3252]

you all probably dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@benedictsincere7366]

@Jax Samir Instablaster :)

[@rickinoakville1549]

I have just landed here the last week, and have been binging your content. 99.9% of us will only be doing a level of restoration that we can show at our local car get togethers, and your channel shows us we don't need to be reaching for that Concours level of perfection on our projects. Cheers from Ontario

[@timmcdonald9331]

I found if you punch holes in the rim of any paint can after you dump the paint out into your mixing container the rest of the paint around the rim will drip back into the can hardly any mess to clean up nice work again it's a pleaser to learn from you I have been messing around with bodywork for well into 40 years and still learning every time I watch you .stay safe and have fun

[@fitzeesfabrications]

I was taught the hole in the can trick from my trade school teacher. Cool trick

[@BrucePierson]

@@fitzeesfabrications A better ides is to do what Junkyard Dave does. He puts tape over the rim so that the paint doesn't get into the sealing surface and it stays clean.

[@martinsteele3259]

Fitzee, you make it all look so easy!

[@mtcoffers8638]

Your knowledge and presentation are seemingly boundless. I look forward to each and every one of your videos and I thank you for your unselfish sharing. Please don't let anyone tell you any different. Thanks again!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Bottomline , u and bad Chad and make it custom ..,, do Canada 🇨🇦 proud !!….. your paint prowess is like my buddy Rob who was in the industry for years … such an inspiration , even when thought I was inspired enough already lol

[@1OldCutlass]

I love these videos. They are so inspiring. It makes it seem like anything is possible.

[@closetpicker]

Tremclad is the Canadian version of Rustoleum. Same parent company, same product. Excellent stuff!

[@GridIndustries]

I was just about to say that, i recognized the font and looked it up. I've used a ton of that Rustoleum paint, it's good stuff. Albeit, i use it more on frames, floorpans, etc.

[@cornboy3]

Except just about every product is renamed from its rust-oleum counterpart.

[@AMLagonda]

lol really, just basic metal paint? :) why not.

[@jay-pea]

Good to know. Ws just going to ask if it was the same.

[@bubbagodkin4337]

what clearcoat do you recommend for rustoleum paints?

[@robertironside3166]

You're an artist for sure there Fitzee! Thumbs up!

[@arnierock9558]

Incredible quality a real craftsman of our trade thank you for all the tips and knowledge

[@TheSpeedmaster1970]

Good Ole Canadian boy, on the rock. Simple approach and amazing results at a cost everyone can afford Awesome work Fitzee

[@tomuchfunwithgas846]

What a refreshing way to spray. No fancy-dancy high zoot booth. Very nice,thank you Tony.

[@doctormustang3166]

Glad i found this channel, will help me with my project

[@britjamaine9229]

Watch his other videos too. It will save you so much time, money, and aggravation. We have been blessed.

[@nvorano]

The University of Fitzee: I love it.

[@wessteele1058]

This man is a metal God ,and bless him for showing us wanna be fixers how to do it

[@hgj2019]

Nothing quite as genuinely nice as someone willing to share their knowledge! We’re lucky to have Fitzee.

[@kboldin]

I learn something new every time I tune in! That's hard to say about most all other channels!

[@bernonic]

nice work - the family investment in the project will make it near impossible to sell in the future - really looking forward to seeing it on the street

[@darrenrust7038]

Great job Fitzy I love your honesty, keep up the great work

[@kenhart6330]

UK 🇬🇧 here. I once had a Ford Escort Estate in that colour. I loved that colour wish I could get a new car in it. Like you said it was a 70s colour and they no longer use it. AND I can't drive now either. Great job I've followed you for a while and find your tips are simple and easy to do.

[@steveyackel4637]

Everything you do is awesome. There are some that sit back and post negativity but they don’t know shit they don’t have shit and they definitely have no skill. You sir are a true craftsman.

[@kellyjones334]

Great video...I love your work tactics...use what a person has and make the best of it.

[@timsecord8207]

Watching these videos is like sitting in the garage having a beer with an old buddy!

[@randyburdick9022]

Who needs a high dollar spray booth? Great job, can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@OldJoe212]

What I got out of this is that most painting videos try to scare you away. 1) Super clean! 2) Take your time. 3) Practice is more important than equipment. Thank You. I'm sure you inspired many folks to try their hand at painting. I'm know I'm ready to give it a shot.

[@jasonbeightol3620]

Excellent video as always!! So glad that you put as much detail in your videos as you do. You would make a really good metal working instructor,

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Nice to see you have your '"Rock"etts kickin' in on the Mustang prep. Thanks for sharing.. All the best to you and yours.

[@freddyflint8309]

Fitzee, I saw almost all of your vids and did learn a lot. This one is definetly your masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this, including all your thoughts.

[@hgj2019]

Fitzee, on that putting thinner in first, then paint, I’ve also found that you get a better, more consistent blend with thinner in first. The thick paint clings to the sides of the container and resists complete mixing if you put it in first. Maybe not a big deal, but it’s what I always do when thinning paint. As my eyes age I have also found that marking the level I want to hit on the mix container with tape or a bit of black marker makes it easier to see the mark.🥸 BTW, your new lighting is GREAT! I’m gonna have to get busy and do the same thing in my shop!🌞

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Thats a great tip on the tape/marker! My eyes are showing their age and that will be used next time. Cool tip

[@Brian-fw6ml]

fantastic job, great helpers.

[@tsmith578]

Hey Tony . I was just watching your video of painting the 66 mustang . great video ! I like your concept all the time of "Nothing Fancy". When I was growing up , my brother and my uncle would always get old cars and trucks and fix em up and paint em up,. just like you do . just some good ole guys that liked good old cars , fixen em up the best they could, with what they could afford , out in the back yard or the garage . and I've done the same over the years also.,. my uncle never had a welder ,. he used to make his patch panels by hand like you do and rivet them in,. my favorite to this day was his Six cylinder three speed column shift four door 1965 Chevy Bel air, that he painted Baby Blue. Nothing Fancy,,. but it was beautiful. Keep up the great work buddy , thank you for your videos . Tim from Wisconsin.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Great work as always Fitzee 👏 thank you for sharing

[@rizaanjappie]

That looks like so much fun

[@michaelb.5345]

Your style and purpose when doing your cars is great. All your cars look great, the mustang is going to look amazing.

[@Manandmachine772]

Enjoyed your painting selection and mixing secrets. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next video.

[@tfindley007]

Love that blue and you can’t argue with the results!

[@thedixonway]

I gotta admit I did a little fist pump when you whipped out the old JGA! Still have one of those in the cupboard and pull it out for “special” occasions. Lol. Great video again! Looking great!

[@DougsMessyGarage]

The paint looks great so far Tony, can't wait to see how the exterior turns out.

[@davidhoward3564]

Hi fitzee I learned a good tip from some painting pals that said always pour from the gallon can over the side where the directions are so you can read what is on the front of the label. I feel I owe you for all the great tips you have given me thank you

[@donaldtully3103]

Looking good thanks for videos . From Florida

[@myconight]

Fitzee never fails to Empress! I Love the way you do stuff!

[@michaelnotigan7796]

B5 Blue is my favorite Mopar color, going back to the 69 Roadrunners all the way to the newer Challengers of today. It's a striking, iconic color that is right up there with GM's LeMan's/Mulsanne Blue of the late 60's, early 70's. Fitzee, that is going to be one beautiful little Mustang when she's done. Thank you for sharing everything you do, with us!

[@danfarris135]

Ahh brings back some memories from the summer of 83 when I did my first 66 mustang with black satin acrylic enamel in the engine bay and blue acrylic lacquer on the body. My car was the same colors as yours! That B5 Blue is very close to the stock ford color. Nice working mans paint job video. Keep the great videos coming

[@cre2919]

Thanks for sharing as always God Bless

[@rdkngcat]

Hey Fitzee! Mark from Oro Station here, love what you're doing showing your techniques and sharing. I've learned a lot from you so far. Just letting you know you've inspired me to paint my Scout myself. I've even installed an exhaust fan and been upgrading my shop to do so. Keep it up my friend..

[@UnfinishedProjectDartSport]

Thanks for taking us along! If y’all sand with both hands you’ll get done twice as fast😂

[@JustinPaul1st]

Guess that's why you are unfinished projects😆😆😆

[@calvinmientke3539]

Then the Boss said," They don't like the color! Sand it again!" Ugh!!

[@dirkg7062]

Looks great! Cant wait to see it all painted. You do very nice work. I like how you got your family involved too.

[@phillipyannone3195]

Looking good Fitzee. I am enjoying your channel and looking forward to more.

[@ricknethery2441]

Beautiful work. Love to see more work on the Datsun 620 pickup when you get around to it. Would love to have one of these.

[@Fred82ndAbn]

Coming together nicely!! You convinced me to change my strategy and first do the underside, trunk, engine bay and interior 1st, put it together as much as I can and then do the outside. As you, I don't have much space to work with either. As always, great job Fitzee!

[@adog8]

you could make a pure noob to body/paint work pretty darn good with the info you share + your a very good teacher, keep up the awesome videos. PS. im from nova scotia. also do body work for a living.

[@libertyman3729]

Terrific Fritzz, A lot of guys would like to try to paint but don't have the budget or basic knowledge. Thanks again for the class. 🇺🇸 BLESS

[@NewRiverRepair]

Result! Great job Tony. I would have thought that getting it done with the JGA 502 siphon gun would be difficult. I switched to HVLP guns for base coat and clear coat years ago. It was actually expensive for the rebuild kits. Thanks for the video Fitzee...you gotta be happy with that one!

[@v8man350]

Fantastic video, with some useful tricks along the way, thanks for posting 👍🏻

[@grahamturner2469]

Excellent as expected. Thank you Fitzee.

[@Mechaniclyfe]

Good on ya to have the ladies there helping 👍🏻

[@MegaCountach]

Awesome Fitzee! Some great tips! Thanks for all your hard work producing these videos... cheers Doug

[@timc2346]

Watching from Ontario, did Bodywork for Long time looking good!Really like that colour.

[@andrewelliott4890]

Looks good Fitz, Love how you don't waste stuff and use what you have. I also like the glass cleaner trick, cheap and works good. Keep it coming.

[@CompToyZ]

Another beautiful piece of work Sir!

[@geoffreymills9932]

That came out as good as anything else I've seen leaving expensive bodyshops, I'm with you on going the cheap route the results are always better than what we started with and for a daily driver that's all that matters, nice work Tony 👍

[@labrd41]

Looking forward to this. On my must watch list for tonight.

[@garyscalf1121]

I love to watch your work, Fitzee! I have learned a great deal from your videos I am finishing up on my 3rd 66 mustang convertible.

[@philipmiller1030]

This was so good i watched it twice lol another master class just brilliant.

[@2tana22]

Love seeing it come together with all the great tips Fitzee, nice color combo, going to be a beautiful car for the family and a fun island cruiser,,,,

[@Bigskyguy56]

Your ways ARE NOT primitive, it is the way we used to do it, & I believe in What ever gets the job done. Thanks for the videos. STAY REAL.

[@tykellerman6384]

So right Tony is doesn’t have to be expensive to be good .... you prove it every video 🤠👍

[@danielkaylor8395]

Fitz, you're the man !

[@kengough5186]

Awesome and you are simply old school and it doesn’t get any better than you! Hello from Williamsport Pennsylvania. :)

[@davecooke914]

Great video really enjoyed you painting look forward seeing you put engine in great work 👍

[@leesmith2162]

Car looks Awsome can’t wait to see some of the interior put in 👍👍 great job

[@MrBo-sg6hu]

Excellent job Fitzee, looking forward to assembly

[@gregwells2331]

Great painting tips Fitz. The results look awesome.

[@jobu9224]

You may be the biggest ambassador for NFLD since Great Big Sea. Good job Bohoy!

[@andymarriott6349]

Awesome Fitzee, love it, thanks for sharing.

[@randymatheny8621]

That's for all the tips, great car save

[@paulorusso]

Your family work together,,,,,awesome

[@peterimmington549]

I always look forward to your vids Tony, i like the way you do things your own way on your own budget. You always get a good result which shows alot of experience.

[@mimmosamsung4379]

Top bloke, What a gentleman.Love your work mate.

[@MrLangleylad]

Thanks for the lesson Professor !

[@sizzler66]

I think it looks fantastic 👏

[@Timetotinker]

Love the no nonsense old school approach, very nice.............

[@keithnoneya]

Looking good bud, always loved that color, on any vehicle. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

[@ronwalsh]

I have to say, you can tell you are a body man. Figuring out new ways to spray paint, and doing filler. I hate sanding as much as you, and I have an entire MGB to paint up once the metal work is done. Thanks for showing how you do it.

[@jasonritter2492]

The stang is coming along nicely. I been doing rotisserie custom fab frame off automotive restoration customization sense 94 and I agree with you 100 that your gonna have repair spots at the end to blend. Keep up the good videos..

[@davidconley3610]

Nice Fitz! Really pretty color 👍

[@GridIndustries]

Tremclad/Rustoleum is a great budget paint. I've never used it as a topcoat for a car, but used it on tons of other stuff. especially frames, floor pans, metal furniture, etc. Great tip on using the thinner with it, it does take a long time to dry. It's almost like a single stage, minus the catalyst. It also rolls out//brushes great if you're using it on places where you don't need a super smooth finish and you don't have a spray gun/compressor. Painting the engine bay/jambs/etc is a perfect place to use this paint - it's tough and it'll save you a lot of money instead of using your base/clear where you don't need that nice of a finish.

[@donschofield4849]

A FRIED NEW, THIS MAN WHO HAD A BLACK 69 COUGAR ! ( R.S.) WITH A MODIFIED 400, WITH SOLID LIFERS FROM THE FACTORY. A CRATE ENGINE. HE COULD TURN THE TACK ALMOST ALL THE WAY AROUND. DANG! CRAZY. AND YEP, IT RAN GOOD.

[@swc-diygarage]

Nice work Tony. Cars going to look real sweet when it's done. Used that Pro-Form clear for years good stuff for the money.

[@ridgwalkerg]

Great work Fritz, I was painting outside today, some Rustoleum black. Supplier says its Canadian Tremclad, has a bit more urethane in it, for colder weather....Seems to work well on frames and like what your doing. Thanks for the tips

[@ouimetco]

Really cool work and video. Going to do my truck soon at home also.

[@garethmcgregor1621]

That's looking great Fitzee. I'm looking forward to the assembly and outside paint, it's going to be a very nice car👍

[@NialPowerCork]

Really enjoyed that thanks, I’m a long way from painting my project but I’d love to give it a shot and this will help. Appreciate it.
