The difference between Fitzee and the other youtubers is that this Panel master is not trying to sell us tools just teaching us years of wisdom.

I really appreciate your style. Nothing fancy, no pointless blabbering, just getting to the point and throwing sparks. Makes your videos easy to watch and learn from.

I think of you as the "Professor of Metalwork." Thank you very much! Cannot get enough of your advice and wisdom...

Who would give this a thumbs down? This is a class of art, and was free! Thank you Fitzee!

You should give a master class for youtube content creators on how to introduce a video. Short, succinct, perfect!

I don’t do a lot of wielding but every time I watch you do a job I learn something new it a joy watching you work.

Homes on homes, chef Ramsey, Jesse James, and all the other TV flakes should watch this and take some notes. Your the real deal Fritzee !

"I make do with things I find." You're my kind of guy!

This made me look at an otherwise used up 6" bearing completely different.

I always enjoy watching a craftsman at his trade. I learn a lot watching your videos !!

I can not find the words to show my gratitude for this video. Now the added touch of the blade from exactline tools and this will be a perfect and happy ending! Thank you!

I can watch you work for days! I'm learning so much! Thank you!

The lip at the end was great. You left the piece wide so it wouldn't warp when welding! That was worth the whole video. Thanks!

Truly a master at what you do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge along with good camera work. Well done!

So much fun to learn from a craftsman. Thanks for sharing the experience you have with myself and the next generation. :)

A masterclass as always in keeping it straightforward and using skill rather than tools to get super results.

So right John! I thought you'd need some fancy flange tool some pricy sheetmetal clamps and expensive prefabbed body panels to do what he just did. That's how they used to do it that's skill and technique.

@@hw8621 I as well I have learned much from fitszee great teacher very straight forward and no B.S

The best part of your videos are the simple, straight approach with simple tools like putting a curve in the panel around a chunk of pipe! Simple, cheap tools like that are probably laying around in most shops but many people don't see the potential use for them. 10/10 again!

The nice thing about Fitzee's videos is that there is really nothing more to see, everything is shown with no secrets. Very well explained and pointed out. You would have made a great shop teacher Fitzee!

I had a power mechanics teacher Mr. Murphy in highschool and a woodshop teacher Mr Scott. I'm 51 now and now and again I run into Mr Murphy and show him off and tell a story about one of his classes. Both teachers said the same thing, to have a student remember you and what you taught them 20-30 years later or more made the whole shitty low paying thing worth it. Fritz I would have hung onto your every word.

I have to admit, after watching you panels got alot easier. Also in places where the back is not accesable your methods still helped me to make better desicions on how to get it done. To often we are used to doing something one way and are slow to change. You are awesome at "showing" your way without coming accrossed as "hey dumbass your making it too hard!"

my first video was the fuel door video.. i’m watching this and thinking “hell yeah class in session” as he explains how the metal moves and creeps around the curve.. i have a feeling i’ll be “in class” every day now

I decided to restore my 65 Mercury maurader and these videos are just the right ones at the right time. You're tips are spot on and a big help for me especially since I have no fancy tools and equipment. Thanks for your videos and keep em coming 👍

Thanks Fitzee , you can sure pack a lot of knowledge into a short time .

Some people try to make the state of Art with expensive tools, others just give the knowledge further, that's what I want, thanks for the whole explanation,👍

I'm restoring a '52 Chevy Panel , wasn't sure on how to do this identical fender repair until today . This was a Serious welding class for me today , as an old gas station attendant in Mayberry NC would say , " Thank you , Thank you, Thank you " !!!!

There's so much to learn from a Master like you. Nice job. Thanks for explaining it clearly and simply along the way. Thanks also for not using complicated or expensive tools like so many other KZreadrs.

What an absolute artist with metal! Thanks for sharing your skills with us!

Wow you make this look easy! I bought a 62 C10 with some rust above the windshield, they don't make all of those pieces aftermarket, so I'll be attempting it Fitzee style...if I get it 75% as good I'll be thrilled. :)

Fitzee, thank you for making this video, I got a lot of info from it that I used on my trans tunnel on a 70 elcamino. I screwed it up and came back to this video again and realized what you were talking about with welding curves and the metal stretching! This video really helped me! Thank you so so so much!

Finally, I see someone on KZread who knows what he is doing. The way he demonstrated is the same way I learned nearly 55 years ago. The only difference is I didn't have a wire welder back then. Draw upon this man's experience and life will be much easier when making patch panels instead of making templates that usually are off in the end. Work smarter, not harder. Thanks for the refresher course!

Lovely to see an accolade from a fellow professional.

Fitzee, your work and explanations are worth bottling. Love this channel. cheers.

I always enjoy watching a master work at his trade. You learn some much from watching them.

This guy is the goat of sheet metal work. Amazing work 👏

I have been watching your newer videos and have learned a lot. I found this video over the weekend and in your debt for this video. I recently bought a 1950 F1 and need to perform this exact repair. Great work and thanks for sharing your talents!

Well done there on that repair, a tip for finding gaps in the the welded joint after grinding is to put a light bulb or torch behind the panels and you'll see the light through the missed places.

Wow; this is the best panel repair video I've ever seen, I've been repairing panels the hard way. I am ever so grateful that you bestow your knowledgeable on all that want to learn........ You Sir are a Master.

Great work as always. The approach is endlessly fascinating. You start with something 9 out of 10 would toss over the shoulder into the dumpster and transform it. I continue to be educated and inspired.

Finished your class for the day. Thank you again sir.

Learn something new every time I watch your wealth of knowledge & skill . Never thought of laying oversized panel on top then spot weld & cut as you go. Much Thanks. Great Content as always.

Complicated expertise explained in simple terms. Exactly what the weekend hot rodder needs!

Some people are just a blessing to the game.. and you are definitely a blessing I can go on and on but 🙏 thank you so much for your videos you make

B'y you're a cat with the grinder, it's a real treat watching a fellow Newfie make things look so easy that so many others make look so complicated. Keep it up me son!!

I'm 67 And Learn Something New, On Every New Video Class!

I`m new to your channel and rarely write up comments on youtube, but i just wanted to compliment you on this amazing work. I will use this information when welding my Opel Manta from 73. Greetings from the Netherlands!

again another excellent job done you wouldn't even know it was patched it came out perfect. Thanks Fitzze for sharing another great video with us all. You are a true master craftsman.

Love that you call imperial "standard"! But don't mind me, I use both, whatever is closest to the mark :-) Love the video, great job.

Thanks Fitzee, I learned something new every time. This time I realized why you're so good at this I noticed your left-handed

I can’t be sure but i think i saw Chip Foose watching you and taking notes... another fine job... well done sir

Great video as always Fitzee!! Your tips are pure gold for anyone like myself with a rusty project car in their garage

You Sir, make it look so easy. A pleasure to watch you work. I like how you simplify the technique and use basic tools that most guys would have. Keep up the great work and good videos.

Wow, I have been doing it the wrong or hard way for years and it would never come out like that Thanks again Fitzee

Really appreciate your detailed explanations, both verbal and visual!

Love that you keep a balance between talking and working. Some spend 95% talking and thats just a waste of my time. Very good and informative video!

Makes it so simple and explains so well. How do you not have more subscribers?

You don't have to make it look so easy !! Great job as usual, Fitzee. Thank you.

Im 77 Years old , Im building a 56f-100 now , I own a body shop , I still learn the easy way , this was awesome Thanks

Brother, you make it look so easy. Again, wish I had you on KZread years ago when I was wracking my brain on trying to weld things up. As always, a great instructional video on how to make it work using common tools. Thank you!

Thanks so much for posting these videos. I’m restoring a chevelle with my son and these videos will help us a LOT. Greetings from Nova Scotia!

You explain things in an easy to understand manner, You have the obvious master like experience, Use readily available tools most peeps have, I could not subscribe to your channel fast enough! A huge thank you from Oshawa ontario CANADA!!!! PEACE AND HEALTH TO YOU MY FRIEND

Just replaced a VW beetle upper rear quarter panel, made not brought, using your methods. It's the first ever body repair of done. Came out great. Thanks man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your videos always blow my mind with how construct panels! They give me the knowledge I need to have the confidence to work on my own project!

Love how you simplify complicated projects.

Absolutely love these vids. Still can’t believe the amount of work done with such a limited amount of tools.

It is amazing to watch a true master at work don't need nothing but skill. Other people will say you gotta get this tool or that tool this mig or that tig and in the end the results are nowhere as good as what Fitzee Fab can do with a piece of 18 gauge sheetmetal a decent mig and his bare hands! That's mastery at work! Wish I could have apprentice with him when I was younger.

Fitzee you are a magician. Thank you for sharing love the way you keep fabrication of panels affordable to the general enthusiast. Eagerly await the next installment. I have learnt so much since I started watching your channel. By the way Fitzee I am a Plumber in the UK and I have never really converted to metric. An example would be when ordering copper pipe. I quite often ask for a 3 meter length of 1/2in pipe lol.

Who would give this a thumbs down?? Fitzee is a damn Magician!! I'm learning to approach metal work differently now.

Guys who went to body schools for years and spent thousands on learning to cut perfect patches and hammer weld when this guy has the same results in half the time only using a grinder and vice grips. This is why I prefer learning from old heads you get tricks no school will ever teach

These videos give me hope that one day I'll be able to make my own Daytona coupe replica

Thank you for taking the time to show us!

New here, Almost clicked off at first thinking what a hack, he's gonna leave all that rust and just overlap it...Then you took me to school! Loved your slice and fit technique. Subscribed for more.

Thank you Fitzee, watching your videos taught me how to hold a grinder properly. I have been doing it wrong all this time!

Fitzee, YOU ROCK!!!! thank you so much for sharing your amazing skills., it's almost impossible to find classes doing what you do, and you are generous enough to take the time to show/share with us! you're a good man!

The videos are great. They’ve been very helpful in helping me repair the rust in a Silverado bed. Thank you. 👍

Awesome work! Can't say enough great things about all this. You turn it into an art form. :)

Another great video!! Your channel deserves more subs!! When I do this type of fender where the running board bolts to it I put another layer of sheet metal on the inside to reinforce the running board bolts. The stock fenders have it, that is usually what causes the rust, moisture catching between those layers. Weld it in and seam seal it and you are all set....keep them coming Fitz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your work Fitzee. So much experience and willing to share - thankyou.

Another beautiful job thank you for explaining step by step why you do it the way you do.

You're the magic man Fitzee. Another fine tutorial video, thank you.

I loves the Newfoundland accent b'y ! Thanks for the wonderful lessons Fitzee!

Well done! I like your what if scenarios, because I’ll be thinking of doing it another way, then you explain what would happen, and it makes perfect sense.

I love all the tips they have really helped me thank you Fitzee!

Absolutely fantastic video! Your way of doing and explaining is easy for anyone to understand. Thank you sir for the video.

Another great video! Love watching you make magic with metal.

I really learn a LOT from your videos Fitzee. Thanks!

Very straight forward approach. Let the metal work for you instead of sending so much time bending and shaping. Good work, learn a lot for you

Common sense and know how go a long way in body work, without the first one, you will not go far, great work my friend

Thanks for an interesting and informational video. I've never welded but I have a project car and am trying to learn as much as possible before I even start.

I love the way the welds hold the panel as you go along, so good..

Another very instructive video, thank you Fitzee I'm writing down all those precious tips.

fantastic, the best method ive seen for years, will be giving it a go on my next resto

Thanks for sharing your skills! Excellent description on all steps.

That was cool to watch, definitely a master at your art.

Love your technique, an artist with the metal.
