Who else just hits the “LIKE” button during the intro…? It’s always great! Keep it coming Ian & Jamie! BTW, I’m with you on the mesh grill, much better off.
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
I love how well you two do your videos. Lots of laughter in the face of near failure. You keep surprising me with the way your imagination makes something new and real.
My mother was the head nurse of labor and delivery and retired as such. I can only imagine what your job was like. Glad you met Ian and glad for what your doing. be happy relaxed and keep on going with whatever you 2 decide to do. your jeep will be incredible.
As always this was educational and inspirational. 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.
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.
Dear sir, i am in admiration of your thoughts and actions. You are an inspiration to many. With high regards from Gold Coast Australia! Thank you for being you. 🙏
I don't build cars, but I love your creativity and daring. You are a jazz customiser, if you'll pardon the expression. It's so different seeing you in your place as opposed to working with Victor or Don or Bill. Sending love and respect.
Ian is the magic man. He makes the fabrication work and it always comes out great. Thanks for your great imagination. I’m an old street rodder that watched the Barris brothers, and many more for my ideas. Just add you to the list of the great, builders, if a don’t mind. Thanks so much for your inspiration. Look forward to your shows.
Man I do t mind watching one build at a time. I appreciate that u have multiple to keep content while waiting on parts and idea flow either way thanks for what u do
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. 🎉🎉😊
Keep it up! Love watching you work. Really want to build one of my creations but living in wet and miserable UK I have zero motivation unless we get a heatwave which is apparently a bad thing considering so called global warming........... But I live for the sun and the hot weather!
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.
Hi Ian 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
Jamie , I can't imagine how much work you put into editing these videos. They are amazing as though I am in the garage/shop with you both. Both your voices are very easy to listen to and understand. Mark
Come on fans. Let’s crowdshare across all social media to get petrol heads joint Ian on UA-cam. Only 4k needed. Him and J deserve to get more recognition and income for their efforts❤🎉
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.
Ian, great work and methods. I like the way you explain and demonstrate all the details. It feels like I'm right there in the shop with you. Thank you.
Don't get to mad at it stuff happens and you are the man to fix it. This is a very cool build hope you pick a motor that this ride deserves. Man can't wait to see it finished.best of luck god bless ❤.
My first car was a bug eye baja also... and 45 years later i still own a bug eye baja....no wonder i can't get a date...lol. fun cars.. that space is used for the wiper squirter reservoir and also the brake fluid reservoir on 67 and earlier bug
Jamie, we don’t buy new things if we can repair and customize the old 20 yr old creeper. Looks like a episode new custom wheels, custom paint and headrest. Cost for new creeper $39.99 cost to customize $1251.23. That’s how we do it.
I wish I had the land next door so I could come and be your assistant. I'll even settle for gofer if it meant being able to hang out with you and watch you create the way you do. Another amazing video! True old school the way it was intended.
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.
It’s coming along guys. Like what Jaime said . . . It’s going to look sick. I love the look and can’t wait to see the next video. Take care and always be safe. Retired from Pahrump NV. Hi Ms. Jaime 😊

Plus! No matter what he can say “I meant to do that”
Ian you are the Best...And Jamie YOU ARE THE BEST TEAMMATE , IAN IS TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS HIS WIFE......Much Love and Prayers from Joe in NY

Cheech & Chong up in smoke was the movie!❤💪👍🤘
The reverse then screws it in. We, I mean I learned something new everyday. Ian thanks for the tip.
Lot of innovation in that lil bug. nice work Ian and thank you Jamie !!

The nose looks excellent and the hinges are so substantial. I can't wait to see the re-enforcement structure under the hood!

“You come back you hear”, you don’t have to say that twice. Love your work.

You could feel the frustration with that hinge mounting !!! Motha trucka !!!

As an old fabricator I watch you work so hard and you have a touch!
Ian, great work and methods. I like the way you explain and demonstrate all the details. It feels like I'm right there in the shop with you. Thank you.
Thanks again for sharing your time and lives with us.👍👍👍👍
My first Baja was a bug eye kit. I’ve had others but the bug eye is still the favorite.
Lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Don't get to mad at it stuff happens and you are the man to fix it. This is a very cool build hope you pick a motor that this ride deserves. Man can't wait to see it finished.best of luck god bless ❤.
Thanks for the very awesome, quick reply.
My first car was a bug eye baja also... and 45 years later i still own a bug eye baja....no wonder i can't get a date...lol. fun cars.. that space is used for the wiper squirter reservoir and also the brake fluid reservoir on 67 and earlier bug
Watching things you do just fall into place as you go is probably as fascinating for you as it is for the rest of us.
Jamie, we don’t buy new things if we can repair and customize the old 20 yr old creeper. Looks like a episode new custom wheels, custom paint and headrest. Cost for new creeper $39.99 cost to customize $1251.23. That’s how we do it.
Great idea for the hood. 👍
Even as it is now it’s BAD ASS
Amazing... simply amazing... plan... execution... challenge... resolution... all in a days work... what breaks lesser men... the master dominates...
Well said!
