Our friend Ian is hooking us up with custom seat cushions and a bikini top!
After much researching and deliberating, we think we've got it! Ian restructured and fabbed the motor mounts so that the engine sits in the frame properly so there is no cutting of the original CJ-2a body. The struggle has been real this week at Roussel Ranch. In-between our roof blowing off multiple times and our sweet Lil undergoing major surgery on her hind leg, Ian and Jamie are still pushing through to get this CJ-2a road worthy in time for Spring in The Desert.
The Backstory of Jamie's Jeep....
Jamie has wished and WISHED for a Willy's Jeep for her Christmas and Birthday present 🎁 . Ian has had a beautiful Willys 1946 CJ-2a Jeep in the back sitting on a Willys M38A1 Chassis for the past few years. Ever since Ian and Jamie were married, Jamie has been eyeing it for a build on Full Custom Garage, sadly the project didn't make it to the show, but now she gets her wish! Jamie is learning about the history of these jeeps and is learning a little wrenching from Ian. The desert is a great place to go "jeepin" and Jamie wants to be part of the club in the warmer months and feel the wind in her hair as she drives to the local market. Jamie is down to get her hands dirty in the garage on this one! We appreciate our amazing support system in the desert with helping us procure the parts needed for this fun build!

Great engine mounts progress 💪! The air intake thinger on top of the Carby looks perfect! 😊
Not to be a killjoy but what about engine torque of the mounts causing the cab to hit the hood and the valve cover to hit the firewall.
Please before you poopoo it just remember I said it first
I second the cosmoline as the coating on the plate. Nothing that some gasoline and serious scrubbing will not remove. Jeep is going to be killer (in a good way) when you are done. Love the snorkel part from the VW for the carb.
My Jeep is called Two. Step, it has fought me the entire build
Each job has been done at least twice
I like the behind the scenes. Shows how much planning, replanning, fabbing, and refabbing goes on.
I am not a jeep guy and I don’t know anything about them. However, my daughter and son-in-law are. But of course, my son-in-law is also a mechanic but not a fabricator like Ian. I am glad though you are a good listener absorbed all the excellent comments from your viewers. Like I said in the past, you’re amazing on what you do. It’s just really nice that you have Jamie by your side and supports you 1000%. Take care and always be safe. Retired from Pahrump Nevada.
I was wondering what u were gonna do for the air intake and filter, That will be a great addition!
One of the best mods I did to my 67 cj was notching the rear driver's side inner wheel well, so the seat could be moved back a few inches.
Great idea.
Lmao... Me too
Its great that summit is hooking you up like that . I like that company ,been using them for decades. Great work on the jeep!
Yes they are! And we are very thankful to them 😎
That coating looks like cosmolean, not sure if I spelled it correctly but it was used back in the fifties maybe earlier to protect metals that was to be in storage for any length of time
It can be cleaned off with gasoline or brake cleaner 😊
Cosmoline.
Cosmoline and clean with mineral spirits.
Valvoline used to make a similar product to apply to bare metal to preserve it in storage.
It was used from the 30s on for sure and the military had a deal where they coated the whole engine for landing craft invasions but it had to be cleaned off soon or the engine would over heat Rifles were shipped that way abd had to be field striped before issue.
@@johnt.848 Valvoline make Penetrol, it's very similar, but not as thick, it's used a lot on construction steel beams etc.
Very cool project bringing the old Willys back to running condition
My dad was a devout Chevy guy. He was also a motor pool sergeant in the ‘60’s-‘70’s. It was such a revelation to him to find out that the old jeeps (and military trailers) had offsets built in, that he told me (a preteen kid at the time). He was actually more involved at that time with strapping suspensions down and installing all the (unauthorized) armor on jeeps he could.
Jamie-you two need a fancy schmancy candy dish for the shop-one like my Grandma used to have❤😊❤
All your custom builds are cool and awesome. When your working on these projects your very calm, relaxed and passionate. That's a real metal fabricator at work in a shop. 👍🏼
I sometimes wish I can be patient on my projects. When I work on others cars or trucks no problem, but my own stuff I sometimes get frustrated...😨
Thank you very much!
the behind the scenes work shown was great. i could watch Ian work all day. appreciate he may want to do stuff sometimes not always on camera though.
I like it when he bangs the medal around it's more like a natural shop
Looked straight from Australia Ian, from Merv
......AH....YOUR THEATRICAL CURTAIN......GREAT TOUCH..................
Yes-It’s another video with my virtual friends! I love your builds. Coolness time. You both love what you do. It shows. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
13.06 minutes, what a great line up to start the grinder and just cut, 👍
Ian, I think you found a keeper bud. You are a lucky man.
Zephyr, yeah, So Freeking Kool, "O" Yea!...
Thanks for sharing this awesome build with us.
I absolutely love the husband and wife dynamic. Y'all are awesome together. Best of luck to Y'all.
Thanks so much!
Jamie your going to be cruising in Jeep Heaven, Thumbs Up Jeep Community...
Thanks Straight Ahead✌😎
The angle iron addition to the motor mounts is a good call...and now the engine is all correct... nice job...
Getting things done...👍🏼👍🏼🤔🤔🇳🇿🇳🇿
It's looking good. You'll with your viewers will get there.
Just like magic! Everyday a new adventure good show. I like the curtain closing very dramatically conclusive...
Its great that the commentors are able to help you with your build while its in progress! This is a unique situation, unlike FCG, which is filmed MONTHS before we see it! I think this Jeep and other projects will be better for it!
Very true!
Its nice that you actually "listen" to your viewers and heed their advice when its appropriate. The build is better for it. I also sub to a minibike/go kart channel, and they never heed a word anyone says, they just plow ahead with their own uninformed, ham fisted way.
Hello Ian and Jamie.
My wife and I are hoping that one day, soon, we get to meet the both of you !!!
Marvin and Collette
Military parts are coated with COSMOLINE GREASE.. It's petrolem based so just use solvent. (US Army 1966-68)
Jamie, I gotta say how much I am enjoying watching YOUR work! The editing and camera cuts AND Audio is FAB! Can I make a suggestion that 'may' save your lens though? You could see about getting a piece of sacrificial glass and attaching it to the outside front of the lens to take the spark damage from Hubby's grinding. There was at least one spark actually hit the lens in your vid and that is going to be a permanent mark. At some point Jamie, I would LIVE to see a vid of YOU doing a complete breakdown of your equipment and how you are using all of it too. These vids are all SO smooth compared to the beginning. None of this would be working if you were not so skilled at getting this done! Learning curves are HARD! Look how far you have come in the last while! Well DONE!
Thank you!
The body will sit higher once you add in the rubber body mounts, if I remember correctly they are about 1/2 to one inch thick and hard like a hockey puck... Still going to be close when it comes to space for the air cleaner... That Holley carb will be much easier to dial in than the old Jeep one would have been, they could be tempermental in the hot weather as they aged... Do you have an alternator kit for it? The 6 volt system worked really well, but times have changed and an alternator and 12 volt is much better for modern batteries especially in the desert heat and dryness (and sudden torrential rains)... The stuff on that transmission plate is a mixture of wax and oil, it should scrape off with a razor blade and clean up with gasoline, at least that was the way it was done when I was in the Army...
Thanks you about the noise much apreshiated
Excellent jeep fun cheers 🥂 guys 😊
Summit, Summit, Summit, Summit
Ian, Fireball Tool channel did an episode on cutting disk life.
It is much better to keep cutting the full length of the line back and forth instead of the same spot and cutting through.
It saves ALOT of the cutting disks life.
Love the show...from another aussie viewer.....cheers Mario
Ian, I've, watched all I could of your previous series. But just now found you on U-tube. So nice you have a partner j Jamie. Your my kind of person, you deal with it as it comes. I'm 81 an hope you keep up your style of work. Thanks.
Like leaving the Zephyr tall, but into a 2 door, 3 window coupe.
It's cool original though, and so many have been chopped into coupes.
THE CRUSHER!!!
Don't worry about the basement critics. Your show is great. Love the Jeep project
Always watch till the end! I was freaking out over the air filter issue till the end! So slick didn’t think they’re Wes an option!!! Keep up the cool content!
Cosmoline, Ian...thr answer is cosmoline...(David)
Getting parts is always exciting!
Looking good 👍🏼! Good stuff!
Nice work all good projects thanks for the videos
@fullcustomIan. If you are upgrading the steering to a Saginaw design, another safety upgrade would be the brake system. I just finished up doing my ‘58 CJ5 Willys with dual master cylinder, 11” rear and Brennnan’s Garage conversion disc brake for front.
11” brake upgrade is very common, just need to source the backing plates. Disc conversion is just as common with lots of options that would bolt on. Enjoy!
Very cool
Jamie…..
Love the background toons too. So in the episodes could you add a “ lil clip” of some Roussel trivia….
Phenomenal progress
Awesome love it....
The Wax is called Cosmoline, and that there, is Military Grade.
Well done
thank you two again for the ride along.
Some of the little details take so much time. Looking good!
Great job
Another great show, I like the voice over. Great editing Jamie
Going your way. One step at a time. Thanks for sharing.
Engine plate was covered in Cosmolene. King of a heavy grease/wax mix the Army used to preserve EVERYTHING back then... spare parts, trucks, guns, tools... EVERYTHING.
🆒😎👍! Did you check the tire pressure's before using the level ? Can put you out somewhat.
Ian that waxy coating on the cover plate is cosmoline. A preservative. It washes off in your solvent tank
Also, FYI , C&C equipment who has a UA-cam channel sells anything you need for that jeep.
Dude, the narrator of this video is like totally awesome. You always can count on butter or sour cream.
Ian The junk on the plate is called cosmoline the military used it to coat their parts so they wouldn't rust
Love this
👍🏻keep in trucking! Coming together with those Summit parts
Great job fixing the motor Stay safe
This episode was very interesting how you redid the position of the Motor/engine. Great job 👍
So Freeking Kool Glad you and the Guys caught it, Neat...
Good video! Ian sure gets his moneys worth out of those cut off wheels! 👍
Especially since he overpays so much for them!! $4 a wheel?? I get em at Hobo Freight in a 5 pack for $10.
Good cup of coffee and Ian and Jamie show! Can it get any better?
Great video ian you showed how real you are about builds you show any mistakes
Another good one 👍👍
Nice that the jeep people are responding
I was thinking how's he going to get a breather oh there. And bam you had your epiphany and come back with the VW snorkel lol sweet save brother!❤ another great video Jamie
It was the move 😎🙌
By far my favourite UA-cam channel and fabricator. Big thank you from NZ.
I am so impressed with your willingness to follow ideas from your followers. That makes it that much more fun to watch your videos. Kudus to you.
Yes, i like that they're so interactive with us.
I love the fab. Structural is my jam. It's a great mix of everything. Top content. 👍🇦🇺👌
Awesome fabrication skills...
Jeep project coming along. 😊
Thanks about solving the noie situation muchos grass
Enjoy watching this video and learning more about a jeep
Md Juan in phillipines sell all Jeep parts including correct chassis for this vehicle
So good to hear Lil is doing well i hope the results come back giving a clean bill of health and no more dramas for her .all the best guys please keep us updated on Lil
We definitely will! Thank you for the good thoughts 🙏
I loved the narration.😂
AWESOME
Thank you! Cheers!
Freezing in the Show-Me State. Nice to see you working in a T-shirt cosmoline cosmoline can we get one more cosmoline comment good fun Peace Love Ace out
Nice job ‘uncrookeding’ that engine!
Hey guys, love your work. As you work out an air intake and filter for the Jeep remember to keep an open airway big enough for the Jeep motor. The slim line air cleaner fitting from the VW looks like a great solution, however you may need to modify it. A 1200cc (74 cubic inch) VW motor running at 5,000 rpm (full power or there abouts) would need about 100 cubic feet per per minute of clean air which is probably what your little VW part was intended to supply. A 134 c.i. Jeep motor running at a more leisurely 4,000 rpm would still need about 155 cubic feet per minute of air, more than 50% more, soooo you’ll probably need to expand the cross sectional area of that duct to be at least 50% bigger to keep from choking off the air to that little flat head four. Best wishes guys, we’re rooting for you.
Good point.
Thank you for the info! 😎
It's a learning curve every time , but tge looks of things ... But Ye shall overcome Ian 💪.... Great video by the way , thankyou Jamie 😊 👍
Neat, would never think about cutting some lee way that way Kool, Thanks and always positive Thumbs Up!...
Hi Ian! Is that carburetor a little Holley 1904? They're GREAT little carburetors!! Thank you to you and Jamie for sharing such amazing and inspirational videos of your epic builds!
Jeepers - that's some swell stuff ya got this episode;
BONUS - crow bar assisted engine mounting.
Thanks for the video and the content - whatta team!!!
Another great video, hoping for a good outcome for Lil
Us too!
Type 3- good video....
That engine plate was packaged the year I was born! That stuff smeared all over it is Cosmolene and it’s a rust preventer. I love the tires you chose, so cool! 👍🏼👍🏼
Cool you've been talking with Jacob from seven bar salvage, he has some cool Jeeps.
Thank you for your work…. I use to play out there when I was a kid at the old Johnny Key ranch building go carts . Great work Jamie
Thanks 👍
That coating is COSMOLINE, used to preserve metal military parts. Do a search to find out how to remove that stuff once it’s completely dried up, like what you have. I can tell you it isn’t easy! Jerry:>(
We're getting a deep freeze here in Northeast Texas your show is keeping me from going insane thank you I love you all show and your content
You are so welcome! Stay warm!
hello, you make it look easy
Dam good job so far...
