Happy Saturday! Ian is hard at work finishing the metal fabrication on this caddy to get it out to the shop to Victor to take to the finish line! Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE! We also have new merch! roussels-custom-fabrication.myshopify.com/. Get those orders in for the holidays! See you tomorrow! ~ The Roussel's
Thanks for all the hard work getting new content to the masses. I really appreciate your eclectic choices in music compared to the standard fare of screaming metal music on other car sites. One question is the food still good at the Voyager Cafe? I used to spend a lot of time at Mojave soaking in the aircraft. Especially in the 80's and 90's. Thanks again for everything you guys do for us!
Just thought i needed to comment I'm an 81 year old guy who originally found you on cable. I know nothing about fabrication or design but found myself mesmerized by one your talents and two more importantly your and Jamie's personality's i was very pleased to find and join your utube channel. Thanks for your postings.
It's absolutely amazing how Ian can fabricate all these compound shapes...while creating such beautiful outcomes ! IF i had the money, I'd call him and order my own "38 Cadillac Roadster"
Ian is DEFINITELY one of the most talented fabricator, sculpture and custom automotive creators in the business. HE TRULY LOVES WHAT HE CREATES. I am 79 years old going on 80.I have had hands on experience with automotive work but not even close to his caliber of PURE GENIUS. I catch every episode I possibly can. PLEASE KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. ❤❤❤😮
I love your sarcastic humor! Great work, I’m a model builder and use similar techniques but I never take myself too seriously which is just the way you seem….
The continuing saga of Jamie and Ian, i simply love your show! its the highlight of my week ! ive seen everything you have out.. i think you and Bad Chad should do a build together. that would be epic!!!! Ian i wish i had your skills and knowledge and Jamie is wonderful .. talent with the editing and camera work...
This is another one of my favorite builds that Ian is working on, I'm following this one from the beginning to the very end of his amazing craft, I don't want to miss any episodes
Thanks!! Great Video! Ya know... they keep getting better as y'all grow, move, and evolve. that's part of the fun in watching. Thanks again!! You Crazy Kids, today....
I am a master woodworker, a bit, he is the ONLY other person I have seen do this. I will NEVER miss one of their posts! My human soul needs this ......
Jamie, you were mentioning about your downstairs when talking about seismic activity. I just remembered the name of the underground facility to look up: "Northrup RCS Tejon Ranch Underground"; there are people in the mountain town towards Mojave that claim there are frequencies emmitted from supposed underground testing. However, I would look up what time the town of Weedpatch has earthquakes each day and see if that correlates with the time you feel something; they have a lot and sometimes can be felt in a few counties....you can make a simple earthquake detector out of a lot of things; our local bar has long lights that hang from the ceiling and will shake when their is seismic activity
Hi Ian and Jamie, I’m watching this episode now. I noticed today for the first time that when Ian was doing the Shrinking and Stretching I could see the metal movement. I never understood what was happening before but because Jamie was giving us a point of view shot I was able to actually see it move! You guys are Awesome I Love your Videos! 🔥🚗🤴🏻&👸🏻💯
Fascinating! As a self taught amateur who keeps my and my friends rusty wrecks on the road by making these types of repairs in the rusty prone British climate . I find your videos unbelievably useful.
Correction, not TV Magic, Jamie Magic! Love the editing and Kramps style music! Totally stealing his hammer bending trick! Always pick up a few tricks watching Ian! 😊👍🙏🙏
Your channel is the best out of all custom car channel on audio quality when grinding and banging noises are so loud on other channels. Y'all keep them low so it doesn't blow out my ears
Hey Buddy, ya just made my day. Finished my food, poured a glass of relax!.sat down to watch the box.Then it happened, da notification ding, Quick glance and (as mentioned) ya made my day .....talk about timing, WOW, THANKS AGAIN MATEY. Off with the box,up with the legs. ❤❤❤
Good Morning Jamie & Ian, from the peoples republic of Illinois 👽 What a great way to start my day before headin out to the HOT-Shop to work. I still have a shrinker & stretcher from building parts for my 1940 Willy coupe. Love this channel & all you two do! George The GlassMan. 👽👽👽👽
Great job Ian, for some reason this was a real fun one to watch. I was fascinated to see the steps taken to working the door reconstruction. Only 80 deg, here in Yuma today Yay!!!
Dang, I wouldn't have the patience you have Ian to weld a bunch of bits together and have it look "like factory". Great work and I'm anxious to see the final result.
Ian! I always 'stand tuned' for your next vids. Ian, Jamie hey!. Another awesome vid 'Mr Fabricator' The way you mould bend work that steel. Fantastic to watch, next please. Cheers
I was just wondering the steps it took to perfect the shrinker and stretcher devices. Someone really had a insight into the movement of metal. It is amazing to watch Ian determine the point to shrink or stretch to move a point.
My brain is tired, the input of this MASTER course of common sense and a lifetime of experience is far more than I expected. Ian, your skills and mostly, character, make me love you two even more. ....... Seriously, thank you!
Awesome work as always, loving the dash the right way up!, I like how you jump from one vehicle to the next keeping it fresh and interesting. Cheers from Australia
G’day Ian and Jani watching you fabricate that door jam is incredible how you are able to know in your mind how your going to do it when to me it just looks bits of metal and those pieces you have just tacked on will become beautifully finished off. It’s amazing how you go about it I’m 67 yo and have never seen a restoration like this and always wondered how it’s done, it just looks to me like rusted cut metal , I love watching you work it out it’s a pure art form anyway thank you for showing how you do it. Kind regards John
First of all Jamie you are a rock star on the camera and the music and editing. Secondly Ian you are a genius, what ever the minds eye can see you can achieve. Love the UA-cam channel and no more suits to answer to. Just a couple doing what they want when they want. Love it, love it, love it! Keep on keeping on!
Absolutely amazing! It was like watching it melt right into place!👌🏻LMAO😂😂 on the upside down dash! I think a lot of us were saying flip it, because of the contour of the bottom of the dash and the hood? But, there’s no way it would look as good as it does if you flip it! It looks Binga Banga!!👌🏻 Good stuff!!
I'm an old guy and watching that door fitment today(which was good) brought back memories of the days when I used to watch Boyd Coddington and he always insisted on using a paint stirring stick thickness to quage all of his body gaps. Memories.
Jamie I seen How you Swept the Trimmings Out of the Way while He was Shrinking and Stretching I Love how you 2 work as a TEAM and it is Very Important to Make Sure cut Off Sharp Stuff is Taken CAre of Immediately it would be Bad for 1 of the Dogs to Get some of that in it's Paw LOVE you Guy's
Great video, thank you for taking all the time and effort putting these together, a lot of us enjoy and appreciate it. Please don't let the comments from the key board hero's get to you, they are the few... your fans are the many...
Love watching your videos. A video was recommended to me For a video from HHwheels And I didn't know that you were one of the fabricators for a show called car warriors where you helped built the SkullClops Corvette apparently they found it and they're going to restore it small world.
You are a pleasure to watch and an inspiration to others. Keep up the amazing creations you do. I look forwards to watching every episode. From Jason pugh in south Wales in the UK LIVE THE DREAM BOTH AND ENJOY
Outstanding work today from both, the fabricator and the camera lady. My question today is have any of your friends such as Johnny jalopy, Tom or Don seen your new shop? Thanks guys
Pre show comment - this is to prove that CJ-DJ and The Fab Man are so good that an advance comment will be as relevant as a post video post. Thank you both for sharing!!! BTW I’m watching this at 2:22 am Oregon time on Saturday 10/19/2034
So glad to hear you admit that the dashboard is upside down... even if you were being sarcastic. Lol. Keep up rhe good work. Loving it... Well most of it.
New sub here. I found this thru IG. Really enjoy the approach you are taking. The raw documentation and the honest knowledge you’re sharing. I was wondering what you were up to these days and enjoy your channel. This is exactly what people want when watching automotive videos. Keep it up and I hope you can sustain while sharing your knowledge. Obviously there’s more than one way to “skin a cat” but I believe your approach is enlightening people to how it’s been done by the people we look up to not how it’s presented on tv.
Great work as always! A helpful reminder. Seen the hinges were sagging on the Caddy. As well you know that once the hinges get replaced or re-bushed, the bodywork will change..
In order to create uniform gaps on a door, the closed door must be galvanized all around, then the door is cut out with a knife. After that, the gaps are perfectly uniform! This method was used in the 1960s when building the VW Beetle in Wolfsburg!

Ian is an artist in metal. That door piece is a piece of art.
People used to make suits of armor shaping sheet metal, it’s amazing what you can build with a little imagination
I’m not a fabricator but watching you do this is amazing to watch you make a and restore 🚙 cars Michael from Jamaica 🇯🇲

First time I saw Ian I came across a DVD at Walmart and was instantly hooked. Thank you for the inspiration and influence in the automotive industry.
Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!
Love watching you fab parts of cars.
I’m amazed how you built those pieces from your knowledge!!
Absolutely amazing! It was like watching it melt right into place!👌🏻LMAO😂😂 on the upside down dash! I think a lot of us were saying flip it, because of the contour of the bottom of the dash and the hood? But, there’s no way it would look as good as it does if you flip it!

Jamie did a excellent job capturing the right angle to show how the shrinker and stretcher work!
Shrinker,stretcher,brake and shear,the most used metal tools in my shop as well
You two are awesome. You make it look too easy, but that’s ok, I’ve got lots of tin to mess up on.
Nice work, thats a tough one, 2 different bends in one and looks like it came off an assembly line or better, gap is on que!!$👍🔥😊
Simple fab work is super fun to me
Love it ! I use the same measurement method 2.5 hands x .5 a hand
Loving the caddy whacked build, check you tube every day hoping the next episode is there, keep up the awesome work
I'm an old guy and watching that door fitment today(which was good) brought back memories of the days when I used to watch Boyd
Coddington and he always insisted on using a paint stirring stick thickness to quage all of his body gaps. Memories.
Nice to know you feel comfortable taking a sheet in your new digs
It’s crazy seeing 3/4” thin-wall hanging out the caddy. Wireman electrician tradesman here, loving the build, and a super fan of the program.
Appreciate you watching, glad to have you onboard!
You are the master metal bender this has been awesome watching you bend this door in to a perfect shape
