One step at a time. The mirror image

Building the right side of the mustache section of the grill. It can be tricky but taking it one step at a time it will be fine

[@BrucePierson]

It's hard enough making a duplicate of something, but when it's a mirror image, that's even harder. Templates to the rescue.

[@JohnMCdaid-vy2db]

Fitzee, what you can do with a grinder, a hammer and a welder is amazing, you are truly a master at your craft.

[@warpedspeed4517]

I had to stop watching the video after only 10 minutes in to say that this is INCREDIBLE education, Fitzee! The paperwork for templating was so advanced, and even though ypu made it look easy, I personally know it isnt! Wow, but you are very special to some of us in the DIY lowrider community. 🖖🏽

[@hickeyskustomresto]

He truely is a great teacher. Keep it up Fitzee 👍

[@steveroberts4762]

He makes the difficult easy enough that we could almost do it. 🙂

[@carmudgeon7478]

That isn't body work, that's art work. I've learned a lot over the last few years, the tips were good. Tonight I learned what I don't dare attempt.

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨 Fitzee sets the bar at a new level for me🔥👍

[@jonathanlemay173]

Should name this one Tom selleck with a mustache like that.

[@Jim-he4km]

Sam Elliot would disagree 😂

I Can't Stop Seeing A Water Buffalo!!!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Nice work Fitzee. I really liked how you showed the progression of each piece.

[@BrucePierson]

It's always handy to be able to look back at something you already did to see how you did it when doing the next one. I often do this myself.

[@porschmn]

That front end really is coming together nicely, great work.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Beautiful job Tony. Thank you for sharing all the tips and tricks. Keep up the great work. 👍 👍👍👍👍

[@wtaylorg]

I love watching you make the templates. That is so helpful to me. Figuring out how things bend around curves. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 😊

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I love your fabrication skills. But my favorite thing about your work is that you don't waste anything. Using scraps of whatever is around to make what you need is what got our car hobby going. And doing it without buying expensive tools is also a plus. You're the real deal. I wish we lived in the same area. Cause I would love to come learn from you

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

Intricate work Tony. Unbelievable what you can do with some scrap steel and a welder.😊

[@parrotraiser6541]

For someone without metalworking experience, the concept of making things in intermediate forms, with locating tabs is all rather exotic; you can't really do that with other materials, e.g. wood. It obviously works, though.

[@mjm7187]

I think the powers to be in NewFoundland should commision you to fabricate a metal sculpture for the community. You are a natural teacher and an inspiration to many.

[@gordonstarship]

Excellent use of templates. Thanks for the great info Tony

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was some really nice metal work! They are beautiful and they match. You again proved how your method of a piece at a time and not overthinking it comes thru again. Cheers!

[@Chevypowered5766]

Hey Tony, as I watched the video I always am amazed of the fitment of the pieces that you make. they are like a glove fit and come together perfectly. Your process of making one piece at a time really works and shows up in the finished part, I thought it’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle but you have to make all the pieces for it. Thanks for the great videos and keep on going can’t wait for the next one. Later

[@stewcrane3441]

Every piece a metal sculpture!

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Tony, the greatest lesson I've learned is that I don't have to make complicated pieces from one piece of metal. Once I accepted that, the once impossible can be done with my simple tools. Thanks

[@paulblack2402]

Outstanding work again Fitzee, well done!!

[@kenstevens5675]

Very nice. I love watching you and gaining a little knowledge about how to make things.

[@deanm4138]

Definitely a lot of enjoyment watching you build all the custom parts for this car

[@38Chev572]

With all the work you put in on those pieces, I hope the owner will completely chrome the front end. Master class work, thanks for taking us on the ride.

[@rayhall4578]

love the fitzee disc recycling system, saves a fortune in the long run, those things are not cheap

[@OldBondoBilly]

I wanna be like Fitzee when I grow up😁😁

[@laurensmith1828]

Cant wait to see the headlight video. I want to do custom lights on my 41 chev coupe.Once again ,i wouldnt have believed it if i hadnt seen it for myself! You give me the feeling i can make one too. Very good teaching and explaining techniques my man ,Tony! Thank you

[@goptools]

Hi Tony. Amazing how you make a complex panel from smaller panels and fit it all together! Seems so simple, but if you're looking at making a panel, it's hard to know where to start. Breaking it down seems to make it more manageable.

[@gmansecond4103]

Love watching the Master at his trade.

[@gregpaterno1446]

Poetry in motion the don of metal fabrication

[@daveanderson2865]

Excellent work. The car's front grill reminds me of an Anglerfish.

[@dayslife]

nice work Tony , a custom part mirror image it is !!! 👍🏼✔✔

[@jagzntech]

To make one of these is difficult, to make a mirror image is outstanding. Great work as always Fitzee

[@paulangelotti3990]

love the work your doing on this car...I think maybe a 55 - 56 olds headlights

[@fitzeesfabrications]

You have a keen eye. Lol

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing, always interesting and informative!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Your a genius Fitzee your skills are incredible one of the most genuine normal no frills metalworkers I’ve ever watched …good job fella 👍

[@rjung_ch]

Thanks Tony, those brows are looking nice! Cheers to you and Peanut as well 👍💪✌

[@larryanderson8049]

Reminds me of the horns on a cape buffalo, beautiful curves, nice job!

[@wyore4344]

Fitz', soooo happy you got back on Wendy's car and got it done. i know the "buzz-saw" you ran into with your followers for getting away from the "cut & butt format". thank you so much for "hanging in there!!!" i have personally built 50+ cars from start to finish over my life-time (finishing up a C-4 "big mistake" right now!?!). "next/last one", Good Lord Willing; will probably be a Ford ('25 to '34 range)...probably finished simply...like your '51. i've always done each step all by my self from disassembly to repair/customizing to paint polish and reassembly; except for the upholstery work which i farmed out. you are absolutely right "that last 10% of a complete project is a total nightmare!" we enjoy every one of your vids...great ideas...great fabrication details!!! i have watched every minute of every bit of your content. truly enjoy your approach and learn something (or am challenged) each and every time. BTW your ideas and job you're doing on the '49 is off the hook! very best to you, Wendy and each member of your extended families. rgrds...walt+mrs (79 this july...mrs will be 70 in august...G.L.W.)

[@Joe.Doucette]

As usual... nice work Tony. Peanut is overseeing the garage to make sure all is well. ;)

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨 Respect, Fitzee, that nose job on this old Chevy looks sweet💯👍

[@deweydodo6691]

Its great watching pieces hand made.

[@gregneymeyer5220]

Nothing less than I've come to expect from you sir. Noice.

[@aussiedazvk4djh889]

The old girl looks great

[@russthebiker]

You have spurred me on with my project, I got front and rear axles out,steering gear out, rotisserie bolted up Next job strip the last few parts out from under the bonnet Then next week start welding and forming

[@kellyjones841]

Very darn nice!

[@arthurmccarron4379]

You. Make sense t. Look. Easy. The. Dress up. The. Finish. Touch. Thanks

[@JulianCoogan-zl1ru]

Great work, looks like a sea monster!

[@rwheeler4926]

You make this look too easy

[@Shelbycarguy]

You are one clever dude. I watch to absorb your process. Love it.

[@MikeHarrison-md7ye]

Tony. For a minute I thought I had tuned into a new KZbin channel called “Tony’s Templates” LOL. We don’t see you using templates much. I want to sincerely thank you for your teaching. I am a 73 year old hobbyist who loves to fabricate, weld and do serious rust repair. I used to do butt welds the hard way. Now I am a Cut and Butt man. Thanks!

[@bryancooper2699]

Simply amazing . How creative your talents are. Thank you for sharing. The tips were excellent

[@Kracker215]

As always. yes the tips were good...

[@donaldhalls2189]

Tip's are always great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@sivartimus4222]

Templates again? Who are you Toni and what have you done with the real one?! I'm kidding of course. Another incredible video, glad to see you back on!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

We use the little 3M Roloc grinding discs at work. And the other guys toss them when the edge is worn. So I take them and cut them down and use them on my grinder. I cut the mounting/backing plate down on my grinder too. So not only am I saving the shop money. But I'm also keeping landfill waste down. Plus the smaller discs I cut down can get into places that a new one can't.

[@craigpearson4622]

So good…I’m wondering if you caught Wendy because you were rocking a handlebar mustache back in the day 😎 you certainly know how to put one together 🎉 great work 👍

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

I learned to much today my head hurts thank for learning experience.

[@geoffreymills9932]

The tips are always good especially when we can watch the progress of how it's done, great looking grill Tony, you've done another fantastic job with it

[@jimknight2567]

1957 chevy ,great job

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Nope not 57

[@ratrod6161]

Awesome tony love it looks great

[@shawnlowell4522]

This guy a wizard ,I seen it happen but huh?

[@rickjackson3414]

At first I thought the headlights were going to be doubles….like a 58 Chevy……after I seen a glimpse of the fenders you showed I’m not sure…..grille looks awesome…..it’s amazing what you can do with metal. I love the way you show us how you make an adapt tools for your projects. Great video! Looking forward to seems the headlight videos. Thank you for taking the time to educate us at home.

[@garysluder9326]

Once again. Nice!

👍great editing!

[@tonyrandazzoe8210]

Hey Tony.....we spoke (year ago?) about my 1970 ford van....remember?....anyway my horrible time span to move hence being engaged has delayed me but i would love a chat w you about the rust comin thru the hood edge - (you told me to take hood apart before welding stuff)....

[@Jstme303]

A job well done.

[@tonyrandazzoe8210]

Tony is so genius im my op.

[@markaubuchon2227]

Master class in fabrication.

[@markorr1874]

good job fitz

[@michaeljordan6568]

Bravo 👏 you are a maestro in your craft 💯🔥

[@rupe53]

Watching this and thinking the hours add up. I also watched the video where you explained your billing system so we all know the owner has deep enough pockets and will love the finished job.

[@krahaborowski]

i like to use a diamond cutoff disk to trim the sandpaper (not for this application though). I imagine it might even work to cut these round sandpapers while they are rotating, should give a perfectly round result!

[@frankschwartz7405]

I made sirloin tips the other night. Thought of you when my wife said: "The tips were good".

[@glenncpw]

That truly is a neat bit of craftsmanship. This vehicle will be something to behold when you have it finished.. Good onya
