- Part 37! 1968 VW Radical Custom Ram-A-Lama...It's Gonna Work 👽 ❓
Ian said it would get weirder .... 👽 👽 Ian Roussel mocks and fabs up some hydraulic door openers....the rest is history.
There are no rules in car customization, and if there was a rule it would be to go as far outside of the box as your fabrication skills can take you. Ian envisioned a simple and radical solution to this style of door opening. He walks himself and Jamie through the process, with pretty satisfying results. This is only the beginning. Come journey with Ian out of this world fully into the outer space of KUSTOMS. 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸
"Car Building Is Fun! Lets keep it that way."~ Ian Roussel
The backstory...
Ian has decided to lower this VW Beetle 6 inches to get it to the ground and start radically modifying this beat up 1968 VW Beetle, but like most things that were once going to find the fate of the crusher, he once again proves you can do some amazing things in your garage with some imagination, fearlessness and a willingness to make mistakes as you create. 🥴
His fascination stems from the seemingly limitless customization opportunities for this vehicle. Join Ian on a wild ride through his mind 👽 as he envisions then fabricates his most radical ideas to date.
Ian worked and studied at a bronze casting foundry as a young man, where he learned to create models, armatures, molds and finished sculptural artwork in all mediums and finishes. Ian is fascinated by the artistic process of sculpture. He brings this knowledge to his car customizations, to his TV show audience, and now he brings it to you, his growing UA-cam audience.

Hey thanks for stopping by today! We had a lot of fun in the shop filming this! Let us know in the comments what you have found most interesting in this build so far! Remember to check if you are SUBSCRIBED (We are pushing for 100k), COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE! Have a great weekend! ~ Ian and Jamie
The evolution of this build shows me that thinking & designing on the fly is okey. Most interesting? The entire concept is interesting!👽👽George The GlassMan👽
In England, UK, we all use either Makita or Dewalt angle grinders, or any other power tool for that matter.
Another great video in the ongoing progress of the VW. I was surprised that you didn't use carboard to make a template on the bottom door cutout. This is going to be fun to see the final working door opener. Love the content!
Instead of having the glass slide down into the door.. what about sliding back into the rear or even up into the roof/ headliner section. So basically it would be reversed and go down to close? Just an idea.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
😂😂😂😂😂
The chemistry between you two comes through even on camera! Ian is such a beast of a man, yet so patient, quietly-spoken and a real man.
When u got the ram to work you looked like a kid with a new toy. You and Jamie make your show so entertaining. Thanks as always for making an old man smile. God Bless You.
Somewhere Ed “Big Daddy” Roth is grinning ear-to-ear! 😎
We hope so
I enjoy watching Ian at work, watching his thought process, the trial and error process… listening to him talking to himself, and you about his next move, or not, and why.
I also enjoy seeing the dogs although the original inspector is gone… rest his soul, I think Shadow is going to be filling in alright 🙂
And the tool reviews of what Ian likes is good to know.
Thank you for the content!
The banter between you two is fun too😊
I was always wondering what happened to the shop inspector..thanks for that
Seeing the work to make the doors is fun to watch. Thanks for sharing
The best part is watching you guys overcome inevitable issues, Thanks for keeping it real and showing all the hard work it takes to really make a car like this work!
You are very welcome!
This channel becomes more addictive by the day! Such a great team effort. Thank you both for all you do and share! 💥💯😎
Loving the “rock’m sock’m door. Just like the boxing glove on the cartoons. I’m thinking some roller bearings like on your kitchen drawers will ease the bind.
I think somebody is having so much fun opening and closing the door with that ram ,can't wait to see how you get once you get that sucker to rotate as well ,this is really turning into one bad ass bug
I love the banter between you two, its like working in the shed with friends, a great feeling.
I also like the feeling I get when I finally understand what Ian has in mind for a particular part of the project, even though this can be between 5 minutes - to 2 episodes after he first mentions it. He is definitely wired differently which is great.
Wow, that is so cool. I can’t wait till you get it fixed where the doors are push out and then they flip up that would be cool to drive up to the show and push the button and you guys both get out well done Ian and Jamie you too telling him to move the wheel straight. You have got the best show on UA-cam in my opinion !
Maybe once it’s on the ground measure from the ground following the centerline of the front wheel. Up to the top of the fender center with a square. Trying to pause and study the video looks the height is a little lower. But there’s a lot going on with the different heights of the front edges. It’s definitely a way out there concept now!! I dig it!
The two of you are entertaining to watch and listen to. And so chill it’s actually relaxing to watch, non of that drama nonsense. I like how your concepts evolve and the fabrication too.
Hello Ian and Jamie. I have not been on much, but have been keeping up with the videos. Loving the work on all of the projects. Keep up the good work both of you.
That front shot of the bug looks really cool 😎
Some thick grease on the mating surfaces of the door slider will cut your friction down a lot, and the door will slide easier. Really cool to see the door hinge flip deal come along!
Maybe some teflon our delrin pads in the slider mechanism to reduce friction and slop that would tend to jam.
Ian, it's hard to learn the ways when, every project no matter how big or small are different. You can only learn new methods of doing . That's why custom cars are so much fun. Learning to use different materials together and new products all the time make the custom builder a breed of their own !
Just dang fun to watch you. Whole other level of door dings.
Once again, proof that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it!! I really enjoy the fact that you don't get stagnant on any one project!! 👍
I enjoy how you are just winging it. Watching you work has giving me the inspiration to get out in my shop. I way a bit nervous about building a trailer from scratch but we gotter done.
Thanks Ian
Hello Jamie. 😊
Hello!
Hi,thanks again for another great episode.Please keep doing exactly what youre doing ,it is truly a joy to watch you work.
You always make me smile, thank you.
One could tell you were having fun so was I watching you play with your new toy. What I have enjoyed is the evolution of the projects as you put your vision into a sculpture in the form of vehicles 😊
Well! You’ve done it again Ian. Absolutely blown my mind. I’ve been waiting to see what you were going to do with the doors going over the front mudguard and now I know. LOL. Absolutely fantastic work. I hope you can get that RAM to sort out, but knowing you, you will come up with something. Thanks once again for such a great video. And the work that you do. Take care and blessings to you and Mrs Ian and shadow from England.
Thanks, love Shadow too. As every step goes through the creative process, it's great to share in the joy of each steps finalizing and becoming a favorite part. Inspiring too, I don't customize cars but enjoy the creative process. Thanks again.
That door opening systems is going to be killer when you are done. I see the need for some type of controller that prevents the door from rotating till it is full out but I know you will figure all that open. Great job on the car, great job of the filming Jamie and "whose the good doggie?"
Really enjoy the videos guys! You should totally have the seat slide out along with the door. Then you just stand straight up.
This project is awesome Ian . Youve inspired me to jump into putting suicide doors on my 41 chevy coupe. I started it thinking a couple days I'd by done ..lol 3 later and I just now got it ready to disassemble and reinforce all the welds and pretty em up. Thanks for inspiring me .another 3 to tidy it up now but they work great. Your the best!
Love this build.
So cool just watching the gears in your mind making the machine work.
That's why you stand behind your work, cos if you stand in front of it, it might knock you on your arse.
You're right Ian; that air is pretty violent; waiting to see the door mechanism function,
with the hydraulic set-up.
Ian another great installment! Looking forward to more developments. A suggestion for the door opening, perhaps with a second hydraulic unit installed for the lifting motion, a slight delay going up and the door could possibly be doing both motions at the same time. That allows the pump motor to only have to run for one command not 2 separate ones. Tapping in a Zerk grease fitting on top of the slide would ease any future efforts to grease the slide. Just love the whole thought process in making this unique!! Awesome
Love watching you work, amazing what you come up with
I love everything about this channel.
Thanks for sharing with us today.
Really loving this build! So...twisting the door; Consider a slot cam with a roller follower to effect the rotation of the door 90°. A tube with a cam slot that goes from horizontal to vertical in X inches with a follower on the door?
Great video Ian! Love watching you create such unique rides! Love the door your building!
Take a tip on putting roller bearings on a shaft that travel down a channel / insted of a box chamber for your door slide .
Engineering began by scratching ideas in the dirt with a stick. Then quill pens and ink on parchment. Pencil and paper came next, followed by slide rules. Texas Instrument's upped the game with computing calculators. CAD stepped in, assited by CNC machines. Today it's A. I. But in shops and sheds across the globe, a handful of clever folks are converting thoughts directly to output, using trial and success. Ian is a leader in this throw back style. A treat to watch...
Yessss 😎😎
Wait till we build the “Flying Saucer”…..🎉
@@Ian_Roussel I wanna ride the pony 🤣🤣some saying I heard somewhere, it’s like I want a turn or let me have a go so yeah I wanna see the saucer😂😂✌️😎👍
Got my shipment. I now have you decals on all three of my vehicles, and I proudly wear my Full Custom shirt, and pretend I know what I am doing while I work on them.
I'm getting real close to figuring out that door Love it keep up the go work brother I'm learning a lot about fabrication
He really went down a rabbit hole with this one.
I think asymmetrical is the way to go. Saves time on measuring and adjusting things, let each side do its own thing. Nice work 👍
Thanks This The Great Video & Channel ! The Best of The Best !
Hello From Finland ! Good Work & Good Channel !
I am froom holland/nederland…if i can help, yust let me no.
And i Love The Door, yust WOUW.👍💕
This is consistent, high quality insanity! Love it!
Set the discharge on the piston to set the speed of the cylinder - not the speed of the air going in to the cylinder. That will allow a powerful controlled speed.
yay!!!! the nutty professor is alive and well. Ian twice in 1 week. another BRILLANT vid. Such enjoyment. As always Jaimee your contribution can't be denied (hello, gr8 q+a gr8 filming) Ian what a fascinating process (wanna see you match the front guards) again thank you well done
For some reason, Ian describing the “violent” movement of the door (using his arms) reminded me of the Burgermeister’s wooden arm in “Young Frankenstein“. Am I the only one?
Lol, it was just like it..
Wow it's like an ejection seat in a fighter jet lol. I know it will slow down with the hydraulic system in. Awesome it works! I remember the T bird swivel top you built for Victor that thing was crazy.👍
😉✌
Lol, I was waiting for the door to go flying across the shop when you put the air to it
WOW! Now that's wild. Another thrill packed episode of FULL-CUSTOM-IAN! Stay tuned for more fun and excitement!
Cant wait to see episode 38.and at the same time I'm glad to see u back on the bug.shoutout from mt st Helens
Hi Ian, Looking good thus far. Need additional magic but I know Wyoming will figure it out. Hi Jamie 👍
That air ram action is awesome!!! Lol
Most interesting is the whole design on the VW, and the door build is interesting
That is a really nice car cruise. 90 degrees is hot. You finally got some nice weather, after all that colder weather. We have 50/60 degrees here the last few weeks. I Joan. I heard your voice in tge background.
That is cool Ian that Door will give you the advantage when someone comes up and smarts off to you 😂 the Bug is getting there
Love the Mad Machinist metal melting Mayhem😅
Thanks for another great video and Blessings for both of you!!!
Hey Ian if you weld some steel in the back half of the door you can offset some of the door weight and make it operate like you want !!
On your door open and closing mechanism, the part where the door rises up could be achieved by converting a windshield motor over to a servo.
That door is looking more cool everyday! Nice work! Have you thought about making the door fiberglass for weight? Maybe it wouldn't work?
Hey, so if you build a screw that only turns 1/4 of a turn the whole length of the ram, you can get both actions (slide out and pivot up) with just the one ram. Have a fixed “nut” attached to the body, and the “screw” attached to the door. As the ram pushes out the door will “screw” open, and “unscrew” closed.
This would replace your current pivot point.
0:02 Thanks for the reminder Ian, Just checked my
Subscription and it said subscribe. I don't know why that happens, but I noticed it on other channels too, that I was subscribed to. Great content. I was a sub at less than 1000. Hi Jamie I live in Kingston Wa. Great job young Lady!
Thank you!!
just the front end of my 42 study truck I pulled it apart like 9 times . Drove me NUTS
Teresa and me got a kick out of the rams force on the door , the door could shoot off 20ft . It’s cool
If you use air add a relief valve in case of a failure. You would open the valve to release the air and open the door. Pneumatics as well as hydraulics requires some calculations for force required. It will be based on force and piston size. I work in maintenance with air operated weld guns and we got thousands of pounds of force with air and the proper size air lines and cylinder.
That is pretty cool. Love your work. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Ian, have you considered using some Toolbox Drawer rollers on the sliders so not so much pressure will be required to move the door in and out? I know that will require some refabrication on the sliders. But a little extra work now might mean less work later.
Loven the build. How about a screw type connected to the ran frame and the door, so when about 1/2 open it starts to screw it open, and when shutting it works in opposite Should also add additional support for the door. Like an Auger bit insides the ram frame.
Almost word for word in my thinking about turning the door up as it opens!!! And could be without adding a ram or motor.
Nylon guides/sliders all around!
@Grayhook1 I was thinking a half turn augur in the middle that starts turning when it clears, will act as a stop and guide when it goes in.
Great MAD MAN...Ian you must STAR in the next MAD MAX MOVIE....LOVE YOU GUYS.............Joe in NY
OMG Ian, you've never heard of a Lancia Stratos?? One of the legends of World Rally!!
Ian I thought of something else after I had already posted my last comment. Some Timpkin Bearings on a piece of a old car spindle will make the rotation of the door easier too.
Yes, like a stub axle.
I thought this was a driver for dirt roads. Then i heard you say show car. Id hate to be in a wreck in that. It needs a webasto fabric roof. It would be cool. And give you a point of exit in emergency. Your pop off door won't work if mangled. Good luck. I enjoy your content..Bottom corner doors need rounding off.. Good job video lady..
Love you two, Ian you have a winner program here. Im thrilled you are on UA-cam and away from the hollyweird crap on television proper. Motor trend, and MavTV.
The actual force exerted is the 120 psi of your air over the square area of the piston. It’s much more than 120 psi.
I told Adam Savage about your show at a convention. Your success inspires him.
Coming together great. I can almost see the picture's in your head. Thanks
Always stand behind your work. Just don't stand in front of it. 👍
It's getting there awesome as always love me some bug fabrication thanks!!!👊👽👌I miss seeing the shop inspector that had to be a rough one sorry for your loss. Don't know why he popped in my head watching this video.
How goods that mechanism!!.just a bit of thought from a great mind & anything can happen!
Awesome job!!
Funny watching Ian play with his new toy
Ian, have you thought about making the slide work smoother? If you look at the tracks on the side of drawers, like what are in a kitchen. They have a track on both sides of the drawer, with small wheels that ride inside the tracks. They work very smooth, with little effort. I don't know if they would be strong enough to work on your door or not. Just trying to think outside the box.
Very KOOL Ian and Jamie Coming out good
If you like the whole Dutch windmill thing there's a nice little vacation spot in Solvang California that's not too far from you guys😊 near my old stomping grounds of Santa Maria
Almost there...looking good
Ian, what I find interesting is those front fenders. Now you have to address the doors again this time to clear the running boards. Is this the nature of building custom? And it looks like you’ve lost some weight since you worked with Bill on his last project, how many years ago was that? Good for you. Keep that extra weight off!
That’s cool very interesting
Sooooo cool!❤️😎 PS: Got my eyemuffs. They are great!
Love watching your content
Keep that long channel on your scrap trailer. It will come in use someday. Scrapyards pay very little.

Lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
You need to put a sticker on the door like the ones on the back of the snowplows. "Keep back 500 feet"
This build is great! Can’t wait to see it all come together and roll down the road turning heads!
I am a big fan of all your work Karma I think I would have molded the fenders to go under the door. What I mean is I wouldn't have cut the door I would have molded the fenders so that the whole door could come out ,
That would ruin the flow of the fenders.
Love the new long sleeve
And whatdouknow, it works!! I have lots of ideas bout this build but most would just laugh. I was just thinking about throwing my stash of nuts and bolts away. 👍
You are a trip great ideas
Looking so cool loving all the projects
