I don't care how long the videos are, I just enjoy watching them. Another great video.
Yep the longer the better!
Can't think of a better way to spend 55 minutes of my day of rest than spend it watching and learning the process from the King of Kut and Butt. I stuck around - thanks Tony.
I find that you are the only one that does a lot of real time work in your videos. I really appreciate it it takes the guess work out of planning projects.
Im amazed at how well they matched up before you even started 😮
I could watch and listen for another hour.. Thanks Tony.
Tony, Don't change a thing about your videos! Each one is a lesson in body work that teaches us something we did not know before. I don't know, maybe I am deluding myself but I have some old iron that I hope to restore (not customize) one day. Doing so is going to involve a lot of metal replacement (rust, damage) and what I am learning here will be a great help. I thank you now and will thank you again when I get to my projects! There's other tubers who do jaw dropping things with a sheet of steel, but they use equipment that I will never see never mind own. Your techniques are sensible to the everyday guy, who sees what you do and says, "You know, with a lot of practice I think I could do that!" In fact if I had to gripe about something, it would be that I suspect you make things look too easy. But no matter, we watchers come away wiser than we were before.
A few years ago, I started doing rust repair on a 64 Chevy van and I was stumbling along with butt welding small patches. I figured nobody would see it and the end result was going to be better than NOT doing the repair. Fast forward to watching a few of Tony's videos, and I was basically doing EXACTLY what we see here. Had I only known this was on YT I could have saved a ton on the learning curve. BTW, I had a shop at my disposal, but limited tools, such as a MIG welder, plasma cutter, torches. (yeah, fancy but not mine) The rest was basic hand tools and a large bench vice. I did some of my bending with angle iron as the form in an arbor press. Other bending was with a hammer in a vice. I also had a small supply of used cabinet metal (doors) that was factory bent and I salvaged as necessary.
Hey Tony, every time I watch it reinforces the "tips" you've been kind enough to pass along. Using the "cut &butt" myself I enjoy watching and anticipating how the metal will pull with the welding. On my 65 F350 I've got the rust cut out and new steel welded in. Even did one complete door bottom. I could hear you in my head, " don't over think it!" Turned out pretty darn good! Thanks for all the lessons!😊
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new! I just want to thank you for being such a great teacher! I've learned a lot by watching you, keep it up. GOD BLESS YOU
Definitely NOT too long. You have the best channel because it contains NO time lapse! ❤❤❤
Now that I’ve completed the major rust repairs on my project I can enjoy sitting back and saying: “I’ve done that!” ☺️
CutNButt for the win! ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦
wow Tony ... nice to see the new peak working to extend the long line. Patience of a craftsman that very humbly says, "don't take much," holy frijole.
This might be your most comprehensive Cut-n-Butt video to date. You covered how to weld into corners, how to anticipate metal movement, how and why to let that long "tail" find it's own way, and so many other things. There's even a camera angle, at around 49:09, that shows why your angled Cut-N-Butt works - you make the cut, then push down and the two pieces come together beautifully! A very well done video, Fitzee!
I am amazed that it made such a big difference! That is some nice cutting and butting!
The man has the patience of Job, and the artistry of Michelangelo. Keep 'em coming. Best spent time of my day.
I find it amazing how easy you make these sorts of jobs look. Proof there's 100 different ways to do something.
Hey man,
I've not long stumbled across your channel and wow you do awesome work.
I'm doing a 67 split window kombi at the moment, and I'm just about to do the nose.
So thank you for sharing your knowledge.
✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
I could and would have watched you take BOTH sides right to finish grind. Im always impressed by your cut n butt results!
These "new" fenders and lights will be winners - the right accents to go with the impressive "moustache"... Great design and craftmanship - as always ...
My favorite videos are watching the actual work not time lapse. So thanks again for it
Great video, like most of everyone said, we like the long videos! I'm learning all the time at 71. A great thumbs up Tony.😊
You made what is called a Story Stick to measure. Nothin wrong with that. Much more accurate to get repeatable measurements . Very good work man.
Tony, I could watch you work all day. It's inspirational for me to watch and listen to you explain what you're doing.
I just love it when after the cut and butting the huge inner piece just comes out in one go... 😊
Guess it's the ultimate proof that it has been done just fine, Master?
Awesome job those peaked Olds fenders make such a subtle custom touch only the true hotrodder will know, just how it should be. Thanks for taking the time to upload and keeping kustom alive!
My Sunday Sabbatical. Watching and Learning from The Best. ❤❤❤
I've watched your videos for a while now (a couple years?) and it's your friendly and pleasant personality, your artistic finesse, and meticulous craftsmanship that keeps me coming back. I never tire of watching and learning from you. A real pro at work. Thank you for taking the time to make and publish your videos. Keep 'em coming!
And his humility, honesty, and humour when he makes a "mistake", which the rest of us would accept as s job well-done!
Keep making your videos the same way, it’s very informative and interesting to watch
Doing one side is creative the other is labor.
I like your welding videos. I’m learning by watching you do it. I have an old truck that needs some work and I would love to up my game before I get busy on this one. Your videos are helping greatly. Practicing a few of the things I see you doing and it is improving my metal work. Thank you so much and keep them coming!
Tony, your client is a very lucky man. Your vids are hypnotic, and your work is such a pleasure to witness. Thanks again, Joe, ❤❤❤❤
I learn something every time I watch your videos Fitzee. THANK YOU!
Absolutely amazing the work you do....
Perfect….. keep doing what you’re doing…. Learn something every time
I want to know I enjoy watching a true craftsman and you're the only teacher I have to learn from I think you for all the experience you share with all of us out here .I am always looking for you're latest video to learn from they never get old 😉 thank you again God bless you 🙏.
I to watch your videos to learn,I’m installing new floor pans in my truck project and learning how to master the cut and but. You are an excellent teacher. The longer the video the better
Super job, and I could watch you all the time. Every time I learn something I did not know before.
I love this content! Cut and butt forever! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Good video. The cut-n-butt seemed really weird when I first found your channel, but it started to make sense, and after trying it myself, I really like doing it, it just works.👍
I love watching you do the work don't care about how long you are just great information and learning process.
You take the time and effort to explain the process to all us viewers , rather than just jump in and do it. Much appreciated and thank you. And probably the best cut and but I think I've seen.
it's never too long watching a craftsman at work ...👀👍🏼
Awesome tony really looking good
Another great "how to" video. Thanks. I enjoy watching you work and have learned a lot.
Outstanding skill !!!! Keep up the great work. It's great how you actually show what you're doing, very educational to everyone watching
I just enjoy seeing your work and having you explain the process. I just wish that I had been blessed by your videos 40 years ago! Then I could have put it into good use myself. I was always pretty scared of the work you do be seeing your videos. Now I'd love to tackle jobs like that! I just need a good instructor.
Hi Tony, good ideas take time and spending an hour figuring things out are worth it, especially if you get it wrong, then you'll spend way more time tweaking and fixing it and it may not be what you want.
Your measuring techniques are spot on, I can only learn from you.
Always nice seeing Peanut happy with your work as well, cheers 👍💪✌
Fantastic work, I never knew that I would be into fabrication after I retired. Love the detail even if it’s long.
Greetings from the UK Tony great tips as always the videos are amazing and never too long excellent craftsmanship that we know you always do keep up the outstanding work ❤
In my opinion, everything you do is spectacular. I'm of the stance. The time is good. I enjoy watching the work
Thank you for all I've learned
Amazing work as usual! I could watch this all day.
The length is of no worries. It’s seeing someone that has the experience to know what is going to happen before it does!!! Your explanations are priceless. Thank you.
It is like taking a class with the best examples you could have. You really give great real world experience. I’ve used things I learned from you on my car and I’m 60 yo. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please don’t worry about the length of the videos, you might leave something out trying to fit a certain length of time.
never too long could watch you all day
Nice and long, excellent balance.... not too much talk'in, a lot of butt'in.Good explanations as you go. thank you Captain Cleco. Well done.
Tony I bet you can't wait for this one to be over and done with! It's been awesome watching all the progress on this car! Can't wait to see it finished!
Those fenders give a lot cooler stance. Keep on rocking Fitz ❤
Great job you know your business I like how you knew what the panel was going to do ahead of time . No mistakes I love watching you and bellos kustoms very talented
That was an extremely complex bit of customizing there. But you got through it bit by bit. It was actually surprising that the new piece fitted so well on the old fender.
Thanks for the video awesome job tony
Your videos are spot on sir The reason is you show all the work step by step and you don't breeze over stuff like most of other people's videos If something difficult happens you fix it and you SHOW how you fix it Thank you 👍👍
I love watching you cut and puff. Great job my friend.
Extremely helpful for anyone (like me) who is planning to insert a big patch into a fender. Ace work!
Fitzee adding the top of the 56 Olds set's it off and as far as the length of your videos goes just as we're getting into it it's over looking forward too seeing how they turned out thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
Keep doing what you're doing. It's an inspiration for the rest of us to get to work. Thanks
I have been watching your channel for a long time. You’ve done some cool stuff, but this was on another level.
Can’t believe how much better the car looks with the new body line and headlight opening grafted to it.
The videos of your work are therapeutic to some of us,thank you for the tips and hints as you go,very inspiring..
Greatly enjoy watching you apply your craft and I pay Close attention to your thought process. Your experience and knowledge is a guiding lite to my projects. Thanks Much 👍👍
Awesome total enjoyment watching and learning thanks you so much for the time you put into the showing the process you the man Tony
Another great video Tony I enjoy watching the long videos
Nice job Tony that mod was one of my favorites back in the day along with Packard tailights 🥰
I enjoy watching how you do things, if it takes a while that's fine with me I just turned 73 and just used some of the things I learned watching you
Your videos are great just the way they are. No need to talk if you don't feel like it all your explanations are great keep up the good work looking forward to watching all your videos
Looks like an interesting video for me to watch tomorrow morning. Time for me to head outside now and get a few things done.
Just inspires me to think outside the box on the next project. Take your time and don't overthink it keeps coming up, doesn't it? Wish I knew about the cut and butt years ago. Great videos, thank you! Al H.
Fitzee’s Fleetline Fender Fighting Fabrications - Part 1, the first cut is the deepest 🤣
Nice work Tony. Sir, you are an artist . Look forward to your next program. Take care and stay safe. 👍
Another awesome job
Another amazing video, working that fender cap on changed the whole look of the fender. The top peek of the fender gives it a real classy looking that you don’t see on that style of a car. Great tips on how to achieve that look, thanks again. Later
That was pretty neat how it fell into place. The cut and butt was the right process for this graft.😊
Of course we like watching you work. The alternative would involve going into the garage and having to work ourselves. Always more fun watching someone else doing the work!
I couldn’t imagine doing a cut to fit on something like that! Like you said by the time you were done you’d have little strips and bits welded in all over the place.
Fitzee, we all know that you're a plastic surgeon. 😂 We enjoy you and that amazing New Foundland Irish presence. 🎉
I look forward to your videos I have learned a lot from watch you and how you go about building and replacing pecies. I them with the cut and buttscerwed up when I did the eyebows on my 61 Chevy Biscayne and will be redoing them with the cut and butt so keep doing what you do Its very helpful, Thank You for showing the indepth work menship. Later Tony
Great job Tony and love watching you work and explain what your doing and why.
Brilliant! Really nice. I appreciate all your experience and expertise. I tell everyone who wants to do metal
Work to watch your channel. Thanks again!
I always learn and enjoy the videos. Your work is inspirational, and I've used some of the techniques learned from your demonstrations. Thank you.
I learn so much by watching you work! This was a really clear demonstration of the C-N-B with the long, repeating sequence. I really got the ‘rhythm’ of the process. 😀👍👍
Your creativity is stunning. The tips were excellent thank you
The videos are great, the length of the video is good , definitely learning . I definitely agree with you love the look of those fenders with that ridge down the middle and the way the headlight opening is tipped forward
Can't wait to see the before and after when this car gets done. She's gonna be one sweet looking car.
Im not watching im learning you are one cool man
Good call on the headlight swap, the larger covers look better. Your editing is spot on, keep doing what your are doing.
Regarding the length, personally the detail of showing the whole job demonstrates the work and attention required. For those who want to skip, there is a fast forward feature or play at faster speed. I think the greater detail show the price ( time, effort, skill) required. I’m looking forward to seeing the other side and see if the end moves the same amount. It was interesting to watch it move. Keep it up!!!
Watching you is inspiring in that things that may seem impossible actually aren't such a huge deal after all. . . I think we'll watch near anything you want to record b'cuz it all useful! Thanks!!
👌👏👏👏… the videos can never be too long… i’ve never attempted such a task and at nearly 60 I probably never will but i sure do enjoy watching the master at work…
The videos are never too long, we enjoy the process and your insight is a rare gift. Thank you Fitzee
I always enjoy your patience in explaining why you do things a certain way, Tony. It always all comes together looking perfect in the end. As always, I bow to the master! Keep the tips coming, my friend.
Amazing job. That is going to look so kool when finished. I always learn something watching your videos. Keep them coming.
Your videos are NEVER too long!!! Really enjoy watching them and learning from you!!!!
Love your work, your time is right on for me. Greatly appreciate your closeness to your work and attention to detail.
I did start to miss the process so its good to see it Tony thank you!
