- Part 38! 1968 VW Radical Custom Ian Roussel And The Body Filler Experience 👽 🛸
Some theory on how Ian Roussel sets up a fiberglass panel to be straight for a final finish.

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.

Evercoat is an excellent product! I have used many of their fillers.
Great episode, awesome channel! This is one of my favorite custom vehicle shows. The balance of ingenuity, creativity, instruction, dialogue etc is perfect and lets not forget the awesome camera work. Not a fan of scripted or this is the only way to do it shows.
Now I want a burger & a beer Jamie! George the glassman
Thanks for the notification Jamie, I have used Evercoat when I strip my Van down to bare metal. Did a bunch of bodywork and then primmered and painted it. Color- Pure White.
the camera work, editing and music is so well judged, always subtle, never obtrusive or clunky, always accomplished with a light, deft touch, always in sync with ian's narrative. jamie's a natural at this
Wow! Thats really nice! Thank you! We enjoy creating content together
All of your finished products are works of art. What makes you unique is that you are a one man band. No warehouses, just you and your imagination. Hoping to shake your hand one day. A hero without a cape.
Way to go Jamie. Love your respect for the flag. It should always be displayed with respect.
I love how Ian clearly explains the steps to us novices. It makes watching very interesting and a learning experience. Thanks for patiently explaining the step by step!!!
You guys need to contact Hot Wheels, this needs to be a toy.
I fully agree. If hot wheels are made a version of this, I would definitely buy it. It would be so cool.
If Matt’s Off Road recovery can get a Johnney Lightning made so can Ian
It's the only way to get one of Ian's creations. The freight to Australia would be fine.
It can be a Hot Wheel, but it has to be a Sema show car first, that's all.
Great video content today. Really enjoyed it. Jamie’s editing skills are getting better and better.
Ian is doing a Masterclass on body filler, and kustom mods. That's pretty darn cool.
We could not have a better person explain and teach us on body filler and sanding,thank you an and Jamie for allowing to enter your shop each and every episode....plus i have been forgetting to mention i subscribed to your great friend Skratch's garage when you asked us all to do...really enjoy watching his channel he is a very cool and talented guy as well I always enjoyed watching him pinstripe on "Overhaulin|" years ago...
Thank you! He’s a talented guy and we appreciate you supporting his channel 🙏😎
When I was working at Gene's, he would periodically come into the shop and run his hand over whatever panel you'd be working on. He would either give you the thumbs up or let you know where you were off. Then as he walked away he would look over his shoulder and say "Now get back to work" LOL! At 95 he still had an exceptional feel for smoothness, as did my co-worker Joe, ( an exceptional Body man) who had worked for Gene off and on for years.
Also putting on a thin cotton glove and running your hand across a panel greatly enhances
your "Feel" for high and low spots.
Great Video Guys. I really like the way you explain every step in terms that the average guy can understand. And no Ian, there ain't no easy way to get the mud out of the bottom of the can!!
If a cotton glove was not handy, I used a piece of A4 paper
Love watching the master of car builds.
I understand why you do the time-lapse. You’re creating for entertainment as much as, or more than, education. Gotta hold the viewers’ attention. For what it’s worth, I always wonder what I might’ve missed during that time.
Regardless, Ian’s explanations (and your questions/prompts) are awesome. I’m absorbing as much as I can, in anticipation of a future project.
Keep putting out the great product you have been, and thanks!
Enjoyed this so much!! I needed to watch this because I was considering leaving my 65 year-old ride with all the holes. Jamie should have been around when editing music required cutting and splicing tape. Nice job y'all.
I like the time-lapse video segments, in small doses, like after you explain how and why you are going to sand a spot and then time-lapse the sanding part,
Absolutely love watching Ian work his magic. Love the content on every video and I really love the music selection. Excellent job Jamie! Hope you reach your 100k number a get your Start Button soon!
Awesome, thank you!
Me being a retired carpenter that reminds me of finishing drywall put the compound on and sand the high areas and then more compound till even. Love Ya
Just gotta say thanks. I always come away with something I can use in my own project.😊
I love body work, The filling reminds me of plastering. You build it up and your straight edge is called a Darby you push the mud up and even the surface.except there's no sanding. But the same concept.Thats. How I learned how to do it. We would use an air file an block the high spots and hand block the rest We all have our own way and what works works . I just saw what you did and I can take some of what you did and use it.Thats if I go back to it again lol.Take care guys a burger and a beer sounds good.
Oh I forgot to comment on removing the mud at the bottom of the can buy a margin trowel from a major hardware store it should work great.
I freaking love this car so much.
Hey guys another great afternoon with the Roussel,s channel 👍. Been a fan of your channel since the beginning and thanks for all the great content! Here’s to 100K subscribers guys 😎😎😎😎
Very informative !!! I've never done body work, but I've always found it interesting. I was a plasterer and drywaller, so I found some similar techniques. I know it's early, but starting to take shape !!!
Heck ya more Jamie and Ian thanks 👊👽👍
Body and paint is very labor intensive. It can make or break your final out come. Your doing a great job. There is a reason that it's the most expensive part of a build.
Love your work down and dirty you’re right, there is no rules in body work. The only rule I would give to the new people that haven’t done. A lot of bodywork. Should not use a sharpie should use a lead pencil because the sharpie will bleed through your primer if you do not get it off. Before priming, and it may soak through the body filler just a thought From an old body man
Ian, you should make molds off that body when your done and sell kits....
My only experience with filler (Bondo) was with my first car in 1969. I bought the neighbors' grandmother's 1953 Ford Customline. I was disastrous! You never fail to amaze me, Ian. Thanks, to you and Jamie for starting this outstanding channel!
I just love these school days!! Arts & crafts are always my favorites!!👍👽
As a. Drywall finisher, body work is quite similar concept. Fill and sand till its done right.😎👍
We get a glimpse of the tremendous amount of material, energy and time that it takes to turn the many disparate parts and pieces into a coherint car body. WOW don't even come close. The dedication invested to achieve eventual perfection leaves me speechless. Jamie, the musical backed montages are very well done. You two have cleverly merged two traditionally solo tasks into fun to watch entertainment. Thank you both for sharing...
always an education . great show
Yes, the force is strong in this one, Obe wan.......
Great camera work Jamie....🤟🙏😊✅🇳🇿
This is so much like drywall finishing. I see that you pick a direction to remove material leaving a lap mark behind. You keep covering your edge marks. It’s possible to sand the lap marks down. You definitely have a good eye and good reflexes. You make it look so easy.
Ian and Jamie, holy - - - -, a Morris Miner truck!! I am working on a 1961 Morris Minor 1/4 ton truck right now. We have a 78 Nissan 1.2 liter 4 banger with a Nissan dog leg 5 Speed ( R, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The rear end has an MGB 3.90. Old Chevy Vega 13” rims on the front and Vega 14” rims on the back (4 bolt). Finishing up the electrical wiring now . Fun project. Interior and body work next. Love the show. Love when Ian explains his thought process on a design.
Even with gloves on I still get covered with , fibreglass and bondo! Great video, thanks.
I agree, this is very satisfying. And I love work; I could watch it for hours...lol.
Ahhhh! Thank you so much. This made another fun day at rehab for me! 👩🦳
I wonder if people that view your guys content knows what it takes to do it, your hard work in all and the love of your craft, this Creation is going to be one of a kind, Thanks and Thumbs Up!!!... Kick A##!...
I just love your trick of the trade. You’re totally a master of your work and ethics. Hi Jamie 😊
Ian and Jamie, thank as always for your your great video! I watch a lot of "Car" shows and they always talk about "Mudd" Thank you for taking us through the process as this is the first time I've seen this process done! Love all your work Lincolns, Bugs, Tiny trains I love watching you work!
Man alive! You have the patience of a saint. That’s the one part of body work I hate. Sanding and then more sanding. But it’s Gotta be done. As they say 90% preparation and 10% paint. Cannot wait for this bug to be finished to see the end result. It is going to be so cruel and one-of-a-kind. Thanks so much for the videos Ian and please keep on doing what are you doing. Blessings to you and Mrs Ian (and shadow, of course) from England.
My day just got a bit better. Thank You!
Now I get your technique. You are indeed creating art. Thank you Professor Russel.
Thanks!
Thank you! 👽👽
Looking good, a resin ball in the roofline hole as a third brake light would look pretty cool i bet. Absolute master craftsman👏
I like the little hole at the back and first thought it'll be perfect for a key ring when it comes out as a hotwheels but I love this idea.
@@liamunderwood3115 fun to see a master craftsman at work, especially as humble as Ian
It’s Shaping Up nicely 👍👍
Like icing on a cake 🎂! Major progress! Good stuff!
Quel beau travail de patience, et surtout merci pour les techniques mises en œuvre.. 👍 What a great work of patience, and above all thank you for the techniques implemented 👍
Man that's turning out nice too cool looking good
A true artist at work! You both are amazing
Love it!!! This is mesmerising, in cool therapeutic way ❤
Hey, Ian, you can find a marginal trowel at the big box stores or hardware stores.It's mainly used for ceramic tile mortar and grout. For removing products from can.
great tips today, thanks
Don't ever downplay the rolling art that you create. If I walk thru a room of 50 perfect show cars I eventually get bored and check out. Believe it or not, their perfection becomes redundant. I live in the real world and have complete respect and interest in customs and hot rods that exist in the real world.
This right here ☝🏻👽😎
It's looking really cool , man you look like a giant next to it , love it.
I use a long spirit level to sand long panels.
Thank you both this is very entertaining and educational ❤❤
Great job on that car and thank you for explaining the "how's and why's" of what you were doing.
My old auto shop teacher in high school used to say, “Bondo and paint, makes it what it ain’t. “
I'LL MAKE IT EXCITING, WOMEN ALWAYS CAN MAKE ANYTHING EXCITING. Great teaching episode
At our body shop, we had a pump type set up. We had air go into it and we just pulled the handle and it came down on our board.
A ceramic tile works well too for mixing filler. 👍🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸🤟🏼
Loving it, you guys got a formula that works.
That’s really coming along…thank you for making these entertaining videos. It is a real pleasure to watch an artist at work. James T.
Much appreciated, thanks
Love to see this finished
I enjoyed it very much, thank you.
This build is my fav
Great content! Nobody talks about the process and how to achieve the look. Keep up the great work!! Thx
Cara, você é demais!!!!Dude, you are awesome!!!!!
Make sure it's TEMPERED glass! Do not use any old window or chunk of glass. Make sure it is an automotive side window like Ian held up. I have an old 60 F100 rear window I use. Not gonna lie, I've dropped it a couple times and lucked out. Filler gets real slick when you clean it off with acetone. I just sand off all the old filler and wipe it sown with an acetone soaked cloth. Never liked the peel away paper stuff myself... Love this channel.
best channel on youtube!😊
Great work Ian! As a point of reference, in woodworking when you have an expanse where you are cutting high spots away we use long pencil marks spaced a half inch apart to witness how far we are eliminating material. I know body men use guide coat for fine detail, but in rough forming a pencil can act the same way.
Nice video,love the vw build
Excellent content as always...THANX
School is in cessation!
Thanks for sharing with us today.
Ive only done a little bondo, I buy the pint size can, and I think what you are saying about adding instead of sanding, is that you can get in this cycle where you add bondo, sand it off, add more bondo, sand it off, and you just keep doing it over and over making small improvements each time, but what you do, is instead of sanding it down, you just knock down the high spots, and build up more and more until its more than thick enough everywhere, then you can block sand it.
Also, breaking out 2 gallons of bondo is kind of a weird flex
The bug is looking stellar bro. Keep up the great work. Love you guys.
Hi I just wanted to say that i love the video's and I did fiberglass work for 35 years and they make plastic rollers to roll the fiberglass to work the air out and smooth the finish. different sizes are sold.
Jamie, you are doing a fantastic editing job.
Putting filler on is like muding a wall in a house, sometime you have to just get a large amount of product on the surface before you can get a point of level across a large surface so it looks and is flat. Great tutorial, thank you
Ian does amazing work, I like the looks of the bug
a vent window works really good too!
Great icing on the cake and the music was also extra icing on the cake and was the cherry on top. Getting close to 100 k
Awesome 👌
Great job love your work.
Looking good
Looking good a lot of sanding
ian, i thought was watching cooking show while you mixed fiber. so delish. fun cooking full custom.
Fun learning
I would lock down the sides before you continue with the top because it will change the radius a little bit when you do. It's kinda like putting in all the screws before you tighten stuff, you'll end up having to loosen it up because one bolts won't catch threads.
This show was cool, I can’t wait to see it in primer!
Lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
When I was a mobile painter and body work guy we were hired to repair a hole in the roof of one of the cars that was in Casino the movie .
It was the car that blew up when Robert de Niro, was getting in starting it up.
We had to Bondo the whole roof after they welded in a piece of steel but it was a pretty cool to watch when they blew up the car we thought the Bondo would go everywhere, but it didn’t .
Master Class
G’day Ian and Jami it was interesting to see how you apply fibreglass and feeling and seeing the highs and lows it’s going to look terrific I really like channel to see how you build a car. Those cars you showed were absolutely beautiful you are a real craftsman anyway I look forward to the next one kind regards John
You got one of the best videos I've seen. Love your works. What I don't like is V Ws of any kind ..maybe the Carmgia. I'll be back for the caddy or Zepher. Yukon Territory
Great video guys and great editing and love the music Jamie.
I would like to see all the sanding blocks you use because I know I'm going to need some from pretty soon here 😉😊
Dura blocks are the most used and affordable. They have a kit box with like 5 different sizes in it. The best blocks I've seen are made by black diamond pricey but top notch. 😉✌
@@michaelbristol6467 thanks you☺️going to head down to B&Z Auto color today
Glad to see 39
I just learned this that makes body filler go on much smoother: Add a little fiberglass resin to the mixture. Maybe try a small test first. I did this an it makes a huge difference.
Not recomended..
OH man! I miss the Big band music. Love u guys
Amazing I can't wait to see this done. Great work Ian this will be a original for sure. I watch your videos all the time and follow you on Motor Trend tv, going to be bad to the bone !!
