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.

Faith and Begorah to you ! 😃
Happy St Patricks Day. The more videos the more subscribers. 👍
Who cares about religion ? Especially Catholic Church - all the kids who got abused - something to think about ! Just be kind to each other & respect Mother Earth … that’s a much better kind of a religion …….. Best of all NO MONEY IS ASKED FOR .
Happy St Patrick's Day 🎉
Beautiful!!🍀🍀🍀
I was wearing my 'Ian' shirt at the post office the other day and the person behind me said "Oh, you do fabrication.". I replied that "No, I watch the best fabricator on TV and UA-cam." 😁
My beloved husband was a fabricator, too. And a transmission guy…. He passed away 5 months ago. He sure loved life.
He used to go on about your work… and when I looked at his iPad after he had passed I could see the videos of yours he had been watching. Now I subscribe, too. It makes me still feel close to him this way… and I’m hoping he is still watching through me…. Thank you Ian and Jamie
Ohhhh! We are thinking of you and him! We are glad you are here watching and hopefully we continue to help you process your grief 🙏 ~ Jamie
He was a good man I hope. God bless you!
My husband is a subscriber and when I heard your call for reaching 100k, I went on and became a subscriber, too! He knows a lot about vehicles and I know very little. I enjoy you folks because you can make this make sense to someone like me. Keep on doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching! 😊
I love that! I am learning as I am going along too! I appreciate you supporting us and creating another account to be an additional subscriber! I am so pleased to hear so many more women are watching because of me! Thank you! ~. Jamie
Suggestion, go to a hardware store such as Home Depot and get a laser level. It would save you so much time in prep work.
I thought the same.
Yes, but not everyone has the coin to go buying a Laser, this shows how to think outside the box.
@@65cj55 I realize that. I also realize that as a tool that can be used repeatedly in his profession it’s a good investment to make in the long run. Also they have gotten relatively cheaper as time goes on.
@@JoshuaBrown-is8fb He likely has one..
But what if the floor isnt level?
You two have such a good camaraderie. Your youtube channel grew overnight and it will continue to grow in popularity. I have watched Ian on the big tube but watching him on UA-cam it a lot better. Thank you for sharing and Ms. Jamie is very patient behind the camera and doing a magnificent job!!!!!
Two VW bug episodes in two days awesome 👌 Happy St.Patricks Day 🍀🤘👽👍
I've been watching Ian for years back when he was on Full Custom Garage. I subbed instantly when i seen he was on here. I referred to him as the "Bob Ross" of cars, "how about we put some happy fenders over here."
I get an education every time I tune in to watch Ian, it’s great stuff! Thank you
Ian if you were on a desert island you had a grinder and a welder there's no doubt in my mind you'd be able to build a ship and sail off that sucker. 💪
For me, another boring day at rehab, for you and Jamie, watching another piece of the puzzle of this amazingly cool build. Thank you for making my boring day alot less boring! ❤👩🦳
Feel better! Glad you are enjoying it!
Hang in there
Stick with it, it will be worth it.
Ian, that's one of thebest episodes, instruction and method to achieve symmetry, working on a custom car solo without high tech equipement. You have teached a lot with this episode.
I could watch you work for hours.Simplest of tools and compliments from your wife are very relaxing.
You could use a laser level on an adjustable tripod, but hanging stuff on wire works too. :)
“Verify our dementia”, that could/should be a T-shirt. Did Ian even realize he said that? Great episode btw. 😎
Y'all are awesome! I agree it is a public verification that what you do matters and is appreciated !
I will make sure the family will subscribed as well !!
Ian to me is the Bob Ross of cars...both are laid back and because they are so good at what they do everything seems effortless and end up with amazing one of a kind pieces. Thank you both for filming and sharing, its very relaxing.
Also, I was curious when more merch will be available? Keep it weird! 🛸 Speaking of which, a buggy/UFO would be super rad! 😄
Well said! Hopefully soon on the merch! Thank you!
Don't worry guys the channel will get to the 100k plus cos it's awesome and so educational if you want to do your own dyi car projects thanks to the magician sharing his knowledge with us all❤❤❤
amazing as always!😉
I don't know if you have Costco stores out there but they have what I call heavy paper cardboard like the thinner stuff you showed. It comes between the layers of stacked toilet paper and paper towels. They are about 4'x4' and they will give them to you. I use them for patterns when doing leather work. Best part is they are free. Love the show, look forward to every notification of a new video.
I never miss an episode 😀
THANK YOU. I watch a ton of UA-cam car shows, RESPONDING to questions with what and where for supplies is FANTASTIC. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I love watching y’all. Hope y’all get that award.
You guys deserve 10 million subscribers, my favorite UA-cam channel for sure my second favorite is Casey's customs
🙏
Good luck on 100K. I've been here and subbed since the start of Little Jewel.
Happy Sunday!
Great video as always.
Great job Jamie.
The bug is getting cooler with everything that Ian does to it
Ed Roth is smiling down on your Glass slingin! Love watching! Come on 100K!
Can't wait!
Happy St Pat day. The build is so cool and been a journey. Going to be biter sweet when done. going to be awesome, but done. Thanks for the trip. Have learned a lot! Hi Jamie......Later
I have told others about you guys and they watch you now. keep doing what you do best. I love watching Ian fabricating cars. just when you think how is he going to finish that I can't wait to get to see the next episode
Hey guys, been following Ian for quite a while, I also enjoy this channel with both of you, always learn something...
Ralph
Our service has been terrible the last couple of days so I just completed watching this video. My ancestors (Choctaw Nation) helped the Irish during the Potato Famine. So I'm wishing Jamie a late Happy St. Patrick's day. Enjoy the way you demonstrate methods of getting things done. Eyebrows would set off the rear windows. 🙃🤗
Thanks for sharing!
Yes. I really do enjoy watching you work. Keep up the great work Ian and Jamie.
Keep on layering and sanding in is coming together. Like the song goes we got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Your content is great, informative and entertaining. Long time fan!
I watch a lot of car guy videos and the ones who post several videos a week get lots of views. Believe me, you’ve got lots of fans who crave your videos. We want more! Keep it up, you’ll get 100k and keep growing.
Jaime ( my oldest niece is spelled this way) thank you for Caring for us patients. God knows I haven't always been the perfect patient of all my times in the hospital, my hat is off to you. Now lets get crackin on customs. I'm behind on all your builds so I watch when I can. Not easy when your in and out of hospitals so much that they added a revolving door.
You will be at 100k in no time.
The way you work is distinct, based on productive simplicity, and this is definitely a good thing...and similar versions are also good...keep up the good work 👍
"I can live with that"..... a Ian-ism....
it is LOL
A lot of this car building stuff is very similar to the stuff we would do as kids with construction paper, and paste, and straws and tape and stuff. How you make the shapes and what makes them structurally sound is kind of the same thing, but how you go about it is different (welding instead of gluing...) I wonder if thats why I like this kind of stuff, because of childhood memories?
love your lo-fi, analogue approach, the perfect antidote to modern digital life
It is a vibe! Glad you like it!
As it relates to the quest for subscribers, I’ve been one since the beginning. I became a fan of your mad fab skills from the first time I caught Full Custom Garage. You have a quiet but confident demeanor and a good balance between words and actions.
For a greater success, I’d be mindful of.
1. Superfluous or inane conversations that aren’t relevant to the project.
2. Losing continuity with all projects.
3. Not completing projects.
4. Make sure viewers are engaged with the projects’ direction.
5. Wasting viewers time with indecision or lack of progress relative to time spent viewing.
I’m sure you will get 100K viewers and many more. Congratulations!
I can't remember when I first started watching your escapades but it's been years. I was sad when I found out you were not airing episodes on the old channel any more BUT then I see you here on the tube! I am a happy camper again! I wish I could give you more subs but, alas, I can't.
Happy St. Patricks Day. May the green go well.
Measure twice and cut once. Or measure 8 times and fiberglass once. You both ROCK. Have a great day
Wow, I was wondering how you tie each side of the puzzle together! Riveting episode! 😊
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Jamie! You guys are gonna hit 100,000 soon, I’m sure. A helping hand is nice to have even if you’re used to working alone.
hi ian and jamie i have been watching your channel for a few years now and i just love the rawness and honesty of your work ,great entertainment and learn a few things along the way
Wow, thank you
Love the way you two work together
Thank you!
Jamie, your skills are improving. Keep up the great work and thank you for bringing Ian’s genius to us.
Thank you and you are welcome!
On the hydraulic ram setup, how about remove the 2” trailer steel and replace it with the hydraulic ram that is in the middle of a steel exoskeleton. That would eliminate the binding in the hitch steel.
Love your "down to earth" methods!
You were discussing the type of material you use for your templates. They resemble a product carried by Home Depot called Ramboard. Used by construction and painters to cover flooring. It is more cardboard than paper and I use it all of the time to make templates because it’s rigid, but pliable and cuts easily.
I've been a fan for a quite some time. I love Full Custom Garage but I'm so glad you have a UA-cam channel now. I really like the format of having multiple videos for each build vs. the more paired down format required to produce a network TV show. I learn so much more watching your whole process. I can't tell you how appreciative I am. Keep it up brother. Thank you!!
Ian I have learned so much from watching your show and I thank you keep up the excellent work , don't worry before you know it you'll have way more subscribers
I have done a lot of fiberglass work and have never had such skill as Ian at not getting any on himself, i just look at it and it’s covering my hands!
Hi Jamie & Ian,
I’m 1/2 Irish and also went to Catholic school. Happy St Patrick’s day my friends!
Peace,
DrRick
This bug build has me engrossed getting 2 episodes in 2 days loving it...lets hope you get this 100k total asap we want to see the plaque...
Jamie wants to see it too!
I guess it makes sense to erect some basic scaffolding around such a custom build. I may never attempt something even close to this myself, but I'm enjoying very much learning from you Ian. I especially enjoy your problem-solving abilities. Happy St. Patty's Day you two.
Ian you are a master with the Bondo squeegees! Your dexterity is impressive! 😀👍👍
Thanks 👍
The thanks is for you❤ y'all convey a quality that seems to be sparse in our society😊 kind of in the same way that common sense is hard to find these days😮😢😅
Thank you, our parents raised us well. Appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and abilities about building custom vehicles. The way you explain stuff is both easy to understand and sensible.
You’ll get there, great channel, thanks for taking the time to put it out there 🙂👍
Enjoy your on the fly and creativeness in designing your trippy vehicles Ian!
Thank you!
Totally dig your show! I love watching hot rod shows but your's is beyond more informative on process and doesn't have all the bullshit drama. 😊 thanks for sharing.
My man Ian just showed us real world auto cad on this one.👍🏾
Thank you for your content .I love building cars well stuff myself tho I have mental health issues and at times am very depressed .everything you build and and skills you share motivate me to get out to the shop and accomplish something .thank you
🙏🙏🙏
Big guy not bad for not measuring. Pretty good calibrated eye. Jamie you’re becoming a natural at car customization lingo.
Great work and teaching moments are great !! Enjoying your work 👍👍
A similar type of cardboard to what you used is "Ramboard". It can normally be found at places like Home Depot etc. It is normally used for floor protection when doing renovations so i comes in big rolls.
Ok guys . You convinced me. I have been procrastinating for years to make a youtube account. i've been watching Ian since his dvd days . Big fan of ALL the work you have done . So... to help your channel grow i finally made an account,liked,subsribed,and shared. How your name isn't a household saying I don't know. You are easily as good as Boyd Coddington or Chip Foose,and without the giant shops and crews and millions in equipment . Keep up the great work brother!
Thank you! We appreciate the support of our channel and it means so much to both of us!
Bug is coming along, looking good. You probably know the difference between fiberglass cloth and matt but called the cloth matt. I use whatever is handy which today is carbon fiber cloth, but I prefer matt as it conforms very well avoiding bubbles particularly when you can apply much pressure on the part.
Very good👍💯🤩.part 39 pleased ! 🙏🤩
You watching paint dry would be hilarious! You couldn’t do it without an Ian commentary!
All those measuring points are crucial when building your own fiberglass panels from scratch. Very very nice! This bug is gonna be a contender for the #1 spot in the bug world. Eye of the tiger baby! 😉✌
As much enjoyment I have watching Ian Jammie adds a lot an would not be the same. Your hard work comes through the videos. Thanks
Thank you for sharing🛸👽🍀🍀👍
We got to see the behind the scenes tonight...Ian you are really special..your a genius...i was always wondering how you always made everything fit..I've watched every build you ever video'ed
Now you can we can really show you the behind the scenes
Hello Ian and Jamie, this old guy just subscribed to your channel finally. always enjoy watching what Ian is up to, you guys work so well together it's fun to watch i get a lot of tips from Ian. I meet him at Sema he signed my hat and i have that picture!! I have a 32 Ford,1954 GMC rat rod pick up, and now i'm building a 1954 Belair with a newer 250cu inch engine with a 5 speed trans.
Thank you for the Awesome content !
Ian - the Bob Ross of custom! Yeah, but without any of the drowsiness. And, unlike that Bob guy - and I love his ways - one can see on every project how the details all add up! Thanks you two! I’ll watch forever!🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Ian Roussel THE BEST IN THE WORLD I LOVE THIS MAN
I like how you explain every thing you do,and why you do things ahead leading up to why you are doing thing.
Ian - "Let's verify our dementia" made me spit out my "coffee"
It’s amazing watching someone put there ideas straight into metal love the channel
Love it, envisioning tools are like looking into a crystal ball! Would be great if you could take the finished body to victors mob of body guys to finish it off. Ian Love you and Jamie's banter, it is just so much fun. Jamie I feel like creating a bunch of aliases just to get you 100k.There is something special watching something created out of thin air!!!
Hi Ian and J, I am mesmerized and enjoying the latest videos featured. The details, skill and performance in their creations. I can only thank you. Happy St. Patrick's Day🍺🍻💚💚💚
I like your leveling process 😊
I do love your content love the way you think out of the box the things you build try to watch on TV but I know you’re not on there much keep up the good work
Exercise tile packs is a good foam for support when shaping, can even hit with an abrasive disc to sculpt detailed contours etc.
Awesome build Ian!
Alright Jamie and Ian pumping out the videos keep them coming we will keep watching.and Happy St Patrick's Day
Luck of the Irish another show already! I’m digging that both sides are going to match soon! I love the way you improvise to get your measurements, shows your brilliance for your trade! Jamie as always another great show, you’ve come so far! I’ve been watching from day one and you both have come so far in your work together, you should be proud! As always lots of love from Santa Cruz Ca!
Ian is a legend hard work and a creative mind an crazy fab skills UK 🇬🇧 love
One more subscriber here! I’ve loved your tv programmes but can’t get them all in UK, so I’m so happy to be able to watch on youtube! Huge inspiration for me and so many others! Bringing your passion to youtube with your family, really bring you all closer to the viewer. X
Awesome! Thank you for making it OFFICIAL
At the local lumber store you can get heavy paper on a roll for floor covering during construction to protect from damage. Not as heavy as what Ian s has but it does work well . Just saying.
Very interesting to see how y'all get everything square and matched side to side with simple tools and props. Thank y'all for sharing have a wonderful evening
I love it when a plan comes together ❤️. Thanks for sharing with us today.
Love the stance of this bug. I was waiting to see how you matched the drivers fender. Hay Ho on your way to 100,000 you GO!! Keep it up 👍🏻
It’s Jamie & the shop inspectors 👍 Ian is the co-star 👍👍👍 (lol)
Ian Roussel: Master Metal Smith in my opinion. He is a "Book of Knowledge" about custom car ideas too.
Your doing well Ian & team !
