    The spot weld filling with the brass drift backing made this video a rewarding and life changing experience. How have I never heard of that. You sir, are a true craftsman.

    Everyone is calling this a rocket. So that means we are going to have to see the first real time slip. 1/8th mile or 1/4 mile it doesn’t matter. You’re an inspiration to me, you gave me the confidence to do my old Toyota

    This was an epic episode in every way. So much beautiful fabrication, and those fender braces were so satisfying. The panel gap round the hood is astonishing considering how much the structure has been replaced and modified. It's a testament to your eye for detail and sublime skills Tony. Thank you so much for inviting us in to watch a master at work.

    I've been watching other channels and no one comes close to Fitzee for the quality of work, the simple methods and tools used and the excellent way things are explained.
    We really are blessed to have found Fitzee, just wish more people could discover this hidden gem!!

I didn't have the heart to tell him I had hundreds of hours to make it look that way!:) Thanks Tony, you've been a great help to my skills as well as confirming you can do this work with simple tools!

    That was a nice tidy and simple home spun move Tony by adding those factory style gusset kinks to the fender / rad support bracket for strength. If a guy didn't know any better, he'd say they grew there. Good job Bro.

    You are doing an amazing job on this old Toyota, looks absolutely great, super solid, and most importantly now rust free...!, I really like this project car build, and I hope to see more videos on this car, one of my favorite all-time Toyota body styles. There are quite a few of those Toyotas here in Peru and they're all rust-free here. Hope everything else, in general, is going well you Fitzee, my wife & I love your channel.
