    I've been watching Ian build cars and things for many years now and to say he takes the road less traveled is an understatement, he builds the road as he go's!!! Don't listen to us goobers with opinions, none of us watching could even begin to do the things you do and that's why we watch to begin with!!! Keep the vision only you have my friend and I'll keep pinchin the cushion to see the end result brother!!! Hang in there with him Jamie, you're doing a great job too!!

    There isn’t a single thing to criticize about your work, you don’t have a pattern you build on the fly and still make magic, if you would write your process they would say your crazy it can’t be done yet here you are making magic, keep it going!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

      I agree. I love when I hear a husband or a wife make some silly joke and their partner just thinks it's the funniest thing. You can tell there's a real love and admiration there.. If your wife doesn't laugh at your jokes you're either a not funny or b got some things to work through

    Jamie your comment near the end about Ian possibly getting mad caused him to pause and consider before things got bent and broken. Great maturity and mutual respect displayed by you both. Yet more inspiration, thank you.

    @flippypixel 7 місяців тому +6

    The problem solving is the best part of watching Ian work !!! Especially helpful when I've been doing something frustrating myself, I like to sit back and watch some Full Custom Ian as he works through creative problems, it then motivates me to get back to it myself :) -its a reactive process, get stuck in see what happens and react accordingly... so much faster and satisfying for the soul.

    Hi Ian, The VW has a face only a mother could love. Canadian Tire used to sell a Rolls Royce front clip for VWs. It looked cool. You should Google the images of that front end. It loooked good in the catalogue. So put on a happy face. Take care.

    I started watching Ian years ago when Full Custom Garage first appeared on Australian tv. I have always loved watching the way he goes about building the things he does in the way he does. It's a very organic, flow as you go, type of style.
    I have a similar style with the things i make. Many of them are made from old scrap or bits and pieces from other things that I'll repurposed to suit what im creating. I dont really have a plan as such, more just a vague idea in my head and a bunch of scrap laying around to fashion it out of.
    I dont really know what the finished product will look like or how exactly all the parts will funtion until it's finished and im looking at it.
    Im very glad Ian has his own channel yt now. I have enjoyed seeing him work again.

    The Ol' Flip Front hood... A fave thing of Ian's cars. Nice progress on the front end today! In the TV Series FCG, you missed all the cool development of HOW TO setup and tweak the critical elements. That's why it's great to watch live, as Ian takes the steps in constructing these fixtures. It's very satisfying to witness the stuggle, and creative process, with the ultimate payoff when it ends up finally working.

  • @TheKustomBeardoh
    @TheKustomBeardoh 7 місяців тому +1

    That's pretty slick. Did a similar thing on my v8 bug project. I had a keg under the deck lid for a gas tank cause the V8 was up front. I used the same style hinge and hinges the deck lid away from the car like you did with the front. I had my hinges both facing the same direction though. So if I needed to I could quickly pull the deck lid off. And I just held it closed with hood pins that mounted to the old deck lid hinges.

    Love the video ! She’s really coming along👏👏👏👏 I am so looking forward to the Eureka moment you are going to have using my Curve Huggr 12 inch sander on the hood. I want to see a big smile and perhaps you could shout “ It’s the holy grail of sanders!” Or “OMG sands 2 Curves at the same time!” Happy sanding ! James

    Was thinking when you had the hood open and you cut that one hinge free why not weld it while you have it open. And I always measure the frustration level in tools thrown, seeing as there weren’t any clatters of tools against the back wall and then sound of them hitting the floor I can honestly say you kept it all in check Ian LOL. And your assessment of it being a sick little thing when all is said and done was on point Jamie.

    Watching you center up that flat stock to the nose piece. Easy method to guarantee 2 surfaces are centered perfectly? Measure each surface width, draw a line at dead center of each. Then just match the center lines to each other. Perfect center every time.
