  I used to think I needed all kinds of fancy tools to fix the rust on my truck.  Turns out I already own what I need.  You sir are a metal magician.

  A bit of a pain in the butt, yes, but absolutely a way to make unobtainable (or expensive!) patch panels for your project! &nbsp;Another outstanding video, sir! &nbsp;My sincere admiration and thanks!!

  This is amazing, I really enjoy how you take one large corner that needed rebuilding, cut it out then continued to break the task down into even smaller jobs. Its a really unique way of doing body work that I had not even thought of before. Thank you for your time.

  You have a knack for showing us complicated parts in simple terms everyone can visualize. You have a special gift as both a fabricator and teacher. Would love to see you do a rusted out floor or full quarter panel install just to see how easy you make it compared to any other video I&apos;ve watched. Thank you for sharing.

  I am addicted now. &nbsp;I don’t know what I will do if &nbsp;I run out of new Fitzie videos. &nbsp;I learn so much by watching you. &nbsp;Best part is, you make masterpieces with simple tools.

  Made my first patch panel today. Small and took forever but I used your video as my guide and it ended up perfect. I was more worried about continuing to trim things and end up with a pile of scrap. It worked great and I can&apos;t wait to attack the next one! Many thanks again for showing us the magic of your skills.

  You are a master at making replacement parts using &nbsp;basic tools, thank you. I learned a better way to remake a complicated panel and still have fun. It&apos;s all good.
