Finishing wheel tubs and more metal fab

[@FilomenaMckerley]

How do you manage to come up with such good ideas? Keep it going!

[@mustang6942]

Absolutely love the pillow idea, gonna have to remember that. 👍

[@adriancooper8192]

So many great tips in this one. I lost count of the times I thought to myself "oh that's a good idea". Brilliant stuff, thank you so much Tony

[@davegallucci9327]

Tony you do amazing work! I learn something every time! 😊

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

I’m amazed every time I view you channel how you work on so many projects without a car lift, and weld without a hood! My back is killing me and get flash burns just from watching you work😮😅

[@bradwolfgang1037]

I experince the great success of your educational effect, since now…..when I “think through” a welding project ( like my snow blower attachment for my tractor ) ….planning it ahead before I cut any steel, or weld anything….. I first ask myself “Now how would Fitzee do this?” - that is a great tribute to the effect that you have had on the You Tube welding world - Well done Master. 👍👌

[@johnnyholland8765]

When you finally get to the track I hope you never damage that car because you have put SO SO SO much work into it...

[@bogusharris]

yeh, ,I was thinking that too, first race and bang, so much work would make a grown man cry if damaged

[@xozindustries7451]

Great work as always, I wish I saw this video in the morning today because I was welding over my head all day, I could have used a pillow for my head 😂

[@srodgie]

Absolutely fantastic work, Tony! 👌👍...... On another level! Thanks for the great videos and tips! 😎👍🙏

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Yep, Bedliner in a spray can is pretty much useless. They have to thin it out to keep from clogging the nozzle so it's just basically paint. I like the brush on bedliner. It applies well and has a great texture when it cures. It's about the best looking feature on the junk I drive 😂👍. Oh, and I love the plastic jug head rest! Great video as always Tony.

[@georgehardy8165]

Hey Fitzee, Wow, you do really nice work, It is so professional and looks factory. and I guess that's the result everyone would hope to get. I am looking forward to your next video on Crusty, this project is one of my favorites I have watched all the videos of Crusty from the start to where she is now, and honestly, I thought she was too far gone and not worth putting all the work & trouble into her to make it look untouched and factory. but as usual, you are the very best Metal Fabricator that I have ever seen we love your channel and the work you do is amazing. From your Friends here in Comas, Lima Peru George and my wife Carmen

[@johnalexander4356]

Your attention to the details is incredible. All of your experience a really shows in the planning and build.

[@terryholder1639]

Can't wait to see crusty old the drag strip

[@joescully566]

Thank you again Tony. A piece of art that will never be seen! Love your attention to detail, Joe❤❤❤

[@isaiasmadera6997]

Crusty is getting closer and closer to be road worthy!! Awesome man!!!!!! Love the corollas

[@BartSarton]

When I was watching you weld that wheel tub in, I thought, your neck is going to hurt in the morning. Then I seen you talk about the "pillow". Great idea!

[@markturner5996]

Great content in this episode, Tony! Thanks,from Memphis, Tennessee!!

[@ThomasJain-w3o]

I still remember when you pulled crusty out from beside the shop. I thought "Whats he gonna do with that rusty piece of rusted out junk" ? Lol1/1, look at how wonderful she is now! Beautiful and even much better than when she was new! Awesome craftsmanship !

[@minnesotatomcat]

I like to use the spray cans of 3m brand rubberized undercoating for that. It leaves a nice texture like I think what you were wanting. It’s my go-to for trunks 👍

[@josebriceno97]

Love the cat scan at the end

[@JorgeFernandez-uc9qb]

That was some nice metal work there! Great tips and the results are wonderful.

[@brunohoutwipper4225]

Good tips and advice. Great show to watch

[@rickster4455]

Unbelievable effort and tenacity! Great job and nice kitty!

[@chemistry636]

One word. Artist.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very nice work Tony taking shape

[@quintonvisser5688]

I love what you are doing

[@fonhollohan2908]

Your right about that Tony as a welder the first thing you must learn is to get in a comfortable position before you begin welding. That's important to basic skill to learn bigtime! all fun and games till you got to grind off a hundred spot welds. LOL Great basic fabing skills that anyone can learn and do, taught by a master body man right there. Thoroughly Enjoy watching you keeping things simple. Cheers budd.

[@DazFab]

Really nice job on this.👍

[@Don14320]

I still cannot believe your able to build all this on that body, you'r skills are amazing

[@terrencebuller7676]

Nice work Tony. Take care and be safe. 👍

[@bryancooper2699]

Great video. The tips were excellent

[@fernandcollette8497]

Just like your work you made me change my ways doing body work on rusty car's tks

[@TrixedOut]

Tips were awesome and super useful! I love shop kitty!

[@skreis1867]

Fitzee, your tips are always good !!!

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

Good job Fitzee.

[@adeeponionbrah]

Satisfying episode!

[@monadking2761]

This was another great video. Love them.

[@mikeduquesne3630]

Looks great ❤

[@peterouellette3874]

You did a nice job on that

[@timmcfarland2736]

Want to thank you for all your great advice

[@larrylilly2552]

Another great video with lots of tips

[@joachimtruemper5967]

The Flansch tipp is very cool!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

The only bed liner/undercoating spray I've ever gotten good results from are the kits with the big nozzle gun and a 1 to 5 gallon bucket of the goop. The spray cans are always an expensive dissapointment. Crusty is not looking so Crusty lately, haha!

[@ibraunchy20-vn5kd]

Your work is excellent Fitz , I use a pillow myself when I'm under the sink doing plumbing repairs, the lower cabinet lip is ruff on my old back otherwise , also use them when airing up tires for my knees or other car repairs , keep the vids coming

[@joell439]

Huge progress 👍😎👍

[@LennyConetsco]

Love your videos! Keep it going!

[@andygriffiths8647]

Go Crusty, looking good 👍

[@johnmolnar2957]

Looking good Tony!

[@christee5772]

Great work as always.

[@shotsrodder]

Nice work Tony 👍😎

[@jefferywarburton2116]

A piece of coat hanger type wire can help with finding curves as well.

[@rjung_ch]

Hi Tony, back for another crusty edition! Thanks 👍💪✌

[@rjung_ch]

Peanut is also happy looking and approving your work!

[@BrucePierson]

That air punch is really handy and makes punching holes very quick. I only have a hand punch, so it takes longer to punch holes.

[@LiamsRestorationsGlasgow]

Great content as always!

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

Gettin there Tony 😊

[@glenbamforth9878]

Here’s my question, on that curve flange, what are you using to get such a smooth grind on that inside edge? It looks so uniform like you just wiped caulking into it with a finger! I can’t get my grinds that clean looking.

[@fitzeesfabrications]

@glenbamforth9878 just a grinding stone on my air grinder

[@glenbamforth9878]

@ did you grind a rounded edge on the stone wheel, or did I not know they make a rounded one. (I’m new to the hobby, and your videos have been very helpful)

[@davegallucci9327]

Hi Peanut!😊

[@frankschwartz7405]

Yeah, and here I thought I invented the antifreeze-jug mechanic's pillow.

[@goptools]

Hi Tony. So many little pieces needed to complete the job. Robby Layton recently did a rebuild of a Toyota that looked a lot like Crusty but was a 4-door. It was/is a burnout car for a famous Australian, who goes by the name "Lynchy". Thought you might find it interesting.

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Is there video on the build of that car? I like to see it.

[@jasonseal2692]

The tips were good!!

[@alanspangler5621]

Ive found the spray can bedliner gives you more texture if you spray further away from the surface

[@minnesotatomcat]

I’ve never used the brand Tony did but I really like the 3m brand rubberized undercoating. It’s my go-to for trunks and it leaves a nice texture like what I think he was wanting.

[@BrucePierson]

Sure is a lot of work involved in order to fit those big wheels!

[@minnesotatomcat]

Are you doing a fuel cell or a factory style gas tank?

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Fuel cell with a in tank pump and a filler neck to stock locations

[@soundslikebstome]

The sealer looks exactly like HVAC sealer. Stays a little flexible, but super durable. Only about $20 for a half gallon in the US.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Great job, I got one question the stepped piece, why didn't you just make it flat instead of like a box? well done though, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Access to spring mount so it would be easier to work on.

[@donaldhalls2189]

@fitzeesfabrications fare enough, thanks, all the best

[@waynelaferriere6268]

New approach on seam sealer😂 FITZEE 2words weight reduction ! Should've taken out the metal from original wheel house 😅 oh the puzzle pieces . Great vid . I'm sure there won't be another video before 🎄 Christmas so Merry Christmas to you an Wendy an Peanut .

[@stephenfrench4417]

More metal magic from Tony the metal merlin

[@steveroberts4762]

The tips were good! Now where's my pillow 😴

[@botoepfer8588]

Tony, can you address the problems many vehicles encounter especially ford Bronco where the upper rear fenders rust at the joint of the inner wheelhouse?

[@fitzeesfabrications]

If it's the area I'm thinking it just abuse of water and salt and snow that penetrants the seam.

[@ronhawley]

Very impressive

[@rickyfulks6656]

The shop lion

[@lynnrunningdeerB4]

I always thought that you're supposed to use seem sealer after you done not before🤔?

[@Sculpin74]

He can't get to that part of the quarter after the outer wheelhouse is installed. No choice but do it first.

[@zrxdoug]

Good stuff as always, and I'm stealing your pillow idea today for some trailer frame work! 😜 One question...on the wheel lip "spot welds," you drilled holes thru both panels..why not just drill the outer panel and then rosette weld to the inner? It seems like a whole bunch more work, is the weld that much stronger with a thru-hole in your opinion?

[@fitzeesfabrications]

I only drilled threw the quarter lip. The wheel tubs lip was left alone.

[@zrxdoug]

@@fitzeesfabrications You're right of course..was looking at the wrong piece on the bench.. What I get for not paying attention in class!

[@Joe.Doucette]

Yup. Those little touches to save time later... takes time now. Peanut is sayin'... C'mon dad. It's time time go in.

[@Chevychild]

😊

[@bruceaskin9645]

Dont you just love overhead welding. Almost as much fun as overhead grinding.

[@DougScriver]

Wow still my hero tony

[@talltom1129]

Yessir!

[@BrucePierson]

The shop inspector doing a quick check on you to see what you've done.

[@deanm4138]

Getting closer

[@dennisschickling2249]

Nice Video. I'm behind on my Videos. We went to Disney World last week. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@rupe53]

Sometimes I think Tony gets into these hidden details for the same reason a dog licks himself..... because he can... and because there's satisfaction!

[@bruceaskin9645]

Go old school Tony, bitumen with a brush

[@UnfinishedProjectDartSport]

🥓

[@lynnrunningdeerB4]

A $30 jig saw from a pawnshop would payoff in time saved😁.

[@terryholder1639]

I hope it's very fast

[@gorangustavsson5104]

👍❤️🇸🇪

[@ericfallis6202]

I can't wait to see it pounding the pudding out of the pavement 😊😅

[@NoNameGaragejg]

Just learned how to make pipe openings without destroying it.

[@kiwiingenuity1677]

A hopper gun a compressor and normal paint with a few hand fulls of sand . Tough as nails

[@OldJoe212]

Seeing you use a tape measure makes me laugh. A long time ago, someone made a mistake and made tape measures that work perfectly for us lefties. The numbers are the right side up and we can use our left hand to make the mark.

[@ericfallis6202]

Dang it my notification is not doing it's job

[@clintonstevens1285]

3.42 you got tube not welded
