I can't speak for anyone else, but as far as I'm concerned - I appreciate all you do to show us how to tackle jobs like these. I notice some people just record without sound and will put music over or voice over - but I have no clue what all extra work is involved in that. I don't mind that extra noise from time to time - I just want to hear what YOU are saying. If I can hear YOU, then all is good. Thanks for sharing all these projects with us... and especially Crusty. I don't know why, exactly, but Crusty has really grown on me. Hard to believe a mustang enthusiast could get so into an old Corolla ... lol.
Agree with what you said! I’m very much just a hobbyist but anytime I take on a project that I feel is over my head I hear Fitzee in my head to keep it simple and just take it one piece at a time and take my time!! It’s helped me immensely.
EXACTLY! I don't like music on these sort of videos. I like to hear Fitzee's commentary and thought process. Even the sound of his compressor is music to my ears!
I know it's a lot of work making these videos, but it's extremely well appreciated! This weekend I installed a quarter panel on my Mustang using the cut-n-butt technique and MY GOODNESS does that work well and saved me a lot of headache! Super happy I found your channel. The tips ARE good Fitzee, thank you so much! Cheers from Belgium!
I'm just amazed at how you are taking an old rusted out car and now your turning it into a solid, custom fabricated work of art. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm not afraid to make things from scratch now. And the fact that you don't need a factory full of equipment to do it... truly a master craftsman. My hats off to you! ✌
After all the countless hours you’ve put into this rusty old Toyota that most people wouldn’t have looked twice at I can’t wait to see the smile on your face the first time you get to take her for a rip! Guaranteed to be the baddest Corolla on the island!! 👍
I am doing floors on my 1949 Packard. Without your videos I would be spending way more money and flailing around in darkness. You are a craftsman and it's wonderful to see what you do with scrap steel. Thanks so much -
Good morning Tony. I think that most of us are so engrossed in what you're doing and showing us that we don't even hear the background noise. I know that I don't. God bless and have a wonderful day.
I never notice any background noise if there is any, your videos are that good! Certainly appreciate the effort you make, have learned so much! Thanks!
Hey Tony, about 14 years ago I rebuilt the body on my 79 jeep. Pretty crude but I learned. 8 years ago I started my third jeep. The body was so far gone I decided it would be easier to just build a new body. I had a 4' brake, two angle grinders and a cheap welder. Made everything I needed to do the job including mandrels to bend the wheel opening lips. Nobody has been able to tell it's a home built. I always felt sort of a poser because I didn't have all the fancy tools. Thanks to you and your videos I no longer feel that way. Thank you!😊
Been with you since day 1 on Crusty and have to say Tony you have absolutely transformed the Toyota into an awesome machine! Getting excited more every time you post a video on it!
Those floors came out great. You cracked me up when you were saying that the panel looked good from 6 ft as you backed up the camera. These videos are great lessons in doing this work. Thanks.
Another Fine Job, by The Michelangelo of Metal. I'll be starting the floors in my '72 Nova, soon (waiting on the weather to warm up a bit). I'll be sure to share what I have learned, by following your Cut n But process.
I just can't understand how you make it look so easy. That looked so confusing, but after you fabricated it, it looks so good that even down to the direction of water flow under the bottom pan from the wind of the car going forward. You had me floored...lol
FITZEE ! I gotta say anytime I watch your videos I feel a sense of accomplishment wen you are the one who had done all the work 😂 it's so satisfying (to say the least ) to see how it's done by a Master like yourself. Keep Em Coming
What a great project, I've been enjoying your work and only wish I lived close enough to visit in person and just engage in a conversation with you. You , my friend are truly a master craftsman! Keep up the good work! Watching from Oregon....
Another great episode of Crusty's fabrication. She's coming along pretty dern good...like what I'm seeing Tony. Going to be a nice little car when she's all said and done. can't wait to see her when you get to launch her at the track.
Tony- you need to get an Alexa device with smart plugs for your noisy shop additions and simply say "Alexa, turn off my Smart plugs". You'll save yourself time and you can even ask her to get new filters for you. ( tongue in cheek of course). Nice layout, the occasional paper pattern and professional results you always bring. I see you've found a supply of your favored 24 grit discs from a previous video. Always informative and entertaining. Best regards to you, Wendy and Peanut!
I had to laugh when you were standing there and we could see the burn hole in your bibs. They look just like all of my work sweatshirts. Great videos man.
Don't worry about noise! We're going to listen to you any way we can. If a noise happens, I know it drives you nuts, but not those of us that watch to learn from you.
Mate how can you work without making noise, but don't go getting frost bite to make a video, excellent work, it's certainly coming along, 😮 we want be able to see you from the grin on your face of achievement, 😂 when it's done, thanks for showing and sharing all you tricks of the trade ,all the best to you and your loved ones
I wish my compressor sounded as good as yours, there is something comforting to that background thump-thump to me. Please, no elevator muzac! I have a question, when you are doing your plug welds of 18 or 20ga. to the frame rails, how are you ensuring good penetration on the rails (3/16" / 1/4" ?) without burning larger holes into the 20ga.? As always, the tips are GREAT and the results are fantastic. Cheers from the Wet Coast B.C. ps: I didn't see any cardboard used in the production of this episode........😇
cornfield customs does a lot of sheet metal work in a shop with a lot of equipment. I like your simple yet effective approach. I was wondering why your welding the floor pan to the frame. Wouldn't it be better to bolt it to the frame with body bushings getting you more flexiblity to take the body on and off the frame if need be and if would be less creaky.
Get yourself a wireless microphone that you can clip to your collar. It will work with your camera and will have a noise-cancelling setting on it to mute all of that background noise. This should save you a few laps around the shop. Hope this helps.
I very much like the precision work you do but I feel that you could do yourself much more to show your full potential by creating a custom vehicle from the ground up. I think you have the talent to do a creation equal to any custom car builder in the business! It would be a great achievement to get an award from one of those major custom shows, and have your name known along with those famous guys.

Chevy powered Toyota at that!! Lol.
@@fitzeesfabrications 😂
Crusty is by far my favourite YT project car!
EXACTLY! I don't like music on these sort of videos. I like to hear Fitzee's commentary and thought process. Even the sound of his compressor is music to my ears!
Hey don't worry about the noise, that is what a shop is. Get used to it. Car is coming along really nice. Amazing.😊

I agree Steve, I have anolf mgb and have practically rebuilt it thanks to Tony!

Thank you for doing these videos. Awesome job!
Tony your the best simple and straight forward.Thank you I'm learning a lot from your videos..
Great tips, thanks for taking the time to show the little things like the relief cuts and over cutting for the folds.
Tony it is an absolute privilege to be part of thus journey to totally rebuild thus car. THANK YOU. Joe
Missed an episode. This is SUCH ARTWORK! Now, I hafta catch up.
Nice to see you reusing an old cardboard template to make a new cardboard template
Watching you make pieces come together and fitting em thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
no worries about the noise Tony, it makes it feel like we are there, in the garage with you ...
I never notice any background noise if there is any, your videos are that good! Certainly appreciate the effort you make, have learned so much! Thanks!
Great work, Tony! I love this project of yours. 👍

Awesome work Highly impressed with what is being done to Crusty.
Been with you since day 1 on Crusty and have to say Tony you have absolutely transformed the Toyota into an awesome machine! Getting excited more every time you post a video on it!
Those floors came out great. You cracked me up when you were saying that the panel looked good from 6 ft as you backed up the camera. These videos are great lessons in doing this work. Thanks.
Another awesome video Tony, it’s getting closer to the starting line
Im totally floored by the standard of work done....
Looks like it’s going great. I enjoy watching you work out the challenges. 👍🏼👍🏼
The way you weld bits and pieces of scrap metal together to make a panel is incredible. You make it look easy!
Another Fine Job, by The Michelangelo of Metal. I'll be starting the floors in my '72 Nova, soon (waiting on the weather to warm up a bit). I'll be sure to share what I have learned, by following your Cut n But process.
Nice work Tony! Crusty is really coming together!
Who knew shelving and cabinets could look so good once Fitzee gets his hands on them! Crusty is looking good!
Hiya Tony absolutely top notch work as always absolutely love both your channels ❤
It’s amazing how simple you make it look and how perfect it turns out.
Fritzee you are a true craftsman much appriciated.
Great job the bead work is great
Good job Fitzee, looking great. 👌 Take care and stay safe. 👍
It's all coming together nicely Fitzee!
Rebuilding and modifying Crusty is sure a massive job, but you're getting there one step at a time.
I really enjoy watching you work!
Always fun to watch your videos
Crusty is being decrusted....nice work on those floor pans!
Hey Fitzee. This is another great video. Every time that I watch your videos, I learn something. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
I just can't understand how you make it look so easy. That looked so confusing, but after you fabricated it, it looks so good that even down to the direction of water flow under the bottom pan from the wind of the car going forward. You had me floored...lol
Other great job. The precise fits you get are amazing tony the years you have in fab work really shines through
FITZEE ! I gotta say anytime I watch your videos I feel a sense of accomplishment wen you are the one who had done all the work 😂 it's so satisfying (to say the least ) to see how it's done by a Master like yourself.
Keep Em Coming
Another Master class from the best🤙
This info is priceless thanks for sharing
You’re awesome Fritzie ! Thanks for sharing !
What a great project, I've been enjoying your work and only wish I lived close enough to visit in person and just engage in a conversation with you. You , my friend are truly a master craftsman! Keep up the good work! Watching from Oregon....

Your awesome Tony been learning al lot sense I started watching you things I didn't understand
Tony- you need to get an Alexa device with smart plugs for your noisy shop additions and simply say "Alexa, turn off my Smart plugs". You'll save yourself time and you can even ask her to get new filters for you. ( tongue in cheek of course). Nice layout, the occasional paper pattern and professional results you always bring.

Hmm smart plugs!
Notch the corner when bending. What GREAT advice! (@4:50)
I like the shop sounds.
Hi Tony and Peanut, thanks for another nice one! 👍💪✌
So impressive!
Great video keep going Tony 👍🏼
HOWDY TONY, LOVE YOUR SKILL SET ON THE TECH BITS ON BOTH BUILDS, THOSE FINISHING TOUCHES BRINGS BACK THE LIFE TO THESE PANELS. 🌴 ⛱ 🌞
Fitzee, you are fantastick!
Looks great!! A lot of work put into the floor.
Good stuff. Nice job.
Happy Motoring.
I had to laugh when you were standing there and we could see the burn hole in your bibs. They look just like all of my work sweatshirts. Great videos man.
Great show to watch. And the tips are good
It was a fun humorous one....LOL...as always great job 💯 yes indeed....🙂👍🙏🏁
With all of the new metal, Crusty will need a new name after you are done building it.
Great episode! Very cool to see you are watching those Siberian DIY fellas.
Those guys build amazing stuff with a chain saw. Lol
Coming along nicely Fitzee 👍
Paint it good around those grommets. It's where it always starts to rust first.
Awesome. Thank you.
Really taking shape Tony Very nice
Don't worry about noise! We're going to listen to you any way we can. If a noise happens, I know it drives you nuts, but not those of us that watch to learn from you.
Looking good Tony
Great videos. Keep them coming please. All hail the algorithm!!
It won't be long now and Peanut's winter break will be over and it will be time to get back to work inspecting what you're doing.
Great job .
Great video as usual. I’d rather hear the heater, compressor and the fan at the same time than listen to background music 😂.
Damn that looks good!!
Another top video..Inspiring me to get off my butt and work on the 38.
Tony for president!!!!!! :-)
Mate how can you work without making noise, but don't go getting frost bite to make a video, excellent work, it's certainly coming along, 😮 we want be able to see you from the grin on your face of achievement, 😂 when it's done, thanks for showing and sharing all you tricks of the trade ,all the best to you and your loved ones
Awesome work Tony
Big market for your floor pan kits!LOL!
Beautiful job
I’m just curious why you did not slide that piece of metal up to the hoop and trace it from there. What was the need for the template?
The seat risers are higher up front and if you look again you will see the peice don't fit down over the 2X3
More great ideas and tips
Looks sharp
Super nice. !
great tips , time saving steps for sure thanks for sharing
Ha, I used CAD template yesterday and I could hear you in my head saying you should be using a thin strip of metal to get that shape 🙂
I wish my compressor sounded as good as yours, there is something comforting to that background thump-thump to me. Please, no elevator muzac! I have a question, when you are doing your plug welds of 18 or 20ga. to the frame rails, how are you ensuring good penetration on the rails (3/16" / 1/4" ?) without burning larger holes into the 20ga.? As always, the tips are GREAT and the results are fantastic. Cheers from the Wet Coast B.C. ps: I didn't see any cardboard used in the production of this episode........😇
Oh whew! I thought crusty was referring to Fitzee for a minute there! LOL!
You did another great job really like your show. Do jam up work. What I like Jerry
Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
cornfield customs does a lot of sheet metal work in a shop with a lot of equipment. I like your simple yet effective approach. I was wondering why your welding the floor pan to the frame. Wouldn't it be better to bolt it to the frame with body bushings getting you more flexiblity to take the body on and off the frame if need be and if would be less creaky.
Frame and body are one. Makes for a tighter sound car.
Really looking awesome! Is the transmission tunnel going to be removable?
No.
great video Tony, Any tips on how to get the panels to sit as far down as possible when you can't get clamps on the floor?
I will run into that on the next video on the trans tunnel and will go over that issue. Stick around. Lol.
Keep up the good work That step drill makes drilling that easy. What make is it?
Princess auto
Top stuff.
Nice!!
Mesmerizing.
Get yourself a wireless microphone that you can clip to your collar. It will work with your camera and will have a noise-cancelling setting on it to mute all of that background noise. This should save you a few laps around the shop. Hope this helps.
are u going to weld nuts on the bottom of the seat bolt wholes so its easy to bolt seats in
Bolts go up threw into the bottom of the seat
I very much like the precision work you do but I feel that you could do yourself much more to show your full potential by creating a custom vehicle from the ground up. I think you have the talent to do a creation equal to any custom car builder in the business!
It would be a great achievement to get an award from one of those major custom shows, and have your name known along with those famous guys.
I thought about doing that many times. Just too many projects to complete right now that have my interest
Lookin' good.
