Ian, it was an honour to know you were watching. I've replayed your 2 part episode on this project several times. Greetings from a fan in Switzerland. ☕️🍁👊
Yes Andrew always does outstanding work!!! I have the pleasure of having a couple of his outstanding customs!!! Thanks for your outstanding creation!! Eddie from simple kustoms!!
Great one, very nice mash up between the drawing and the built one! Oh, the fabrication and attention to detail! Great way to start a Sunday. Thank you!
Hey there Maple Andrew, thank you kindly for your most thoughtful and considerate shout out to my channel. It hit me out of the blue, was completely unexpected, and left me completely "tickled pink." Cheers, ...Adam... PS Thanks to all of the new subscribers, cheers everyone.
When you announced this build Andrew, I knew it was going to be fantastic and I would love it -- having seen the full size build on Full Custom Garage, seeing that you were using a Kool Kombi, and given the care, attention to detail, and skill you bring to your builds, I waited until today when I could sit down with a cup of coffee and really enjoy the show. It's a phenomenal build Andrew and truly a joy to watch you make it happen. Congratulations my friend!
Such nice words, Jim. Thanks so much! I know you're a Kool Kombi guy. This was just my second one. Actually my first. Petra did a Paint it Pink Kombi last Fall. Johnny's original cartoon has certainly taken on a life of its own, hasn't it? It was great fun to do, and that, as we know, is the name of the game. 🍁☕️😀
Andrew, this was such a fun watch - especially during the premiere, during which Ian and Johnny attended. Such an amazing example of how little cars like these can connect so many.
Those two popping up in the premiere was an awesome surprise. So cool to bring those artists together. Honoured that it happened in my little corner of the interwebs! ☕️🍁👍
Ian is an amazing car artist continuing the Hot Rod scene. You are not bad either with your 1:64 scale customs. Please keep it up for this fan in Guelph Ontario.
Another great video I knew if anybody could do it it was you. I was so glad that Johnny and Ian both came to the show and enjoyed it Have a good day, keep up the great work. And God bless my friend, say hi to Petra for us.
That was so fun to watch you work, after watching Johnny and Ian Roussel do their parts. What an amazing bunch of talented men. A good friend was at SEMA when this was chosen by Hot Wheels to be part of their works. So I feel like I have been along on the whole tour. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
a crazy idea turned into a crazy custom, and a crazy mini-me, too. :) I can imagine that the artist is dieing from so much attention. can there be a bigger compliment? :D
Wow I was wondering how you was going to do this one looks great great love this the whéels the paint the engine just right on the money great job as always Andrew hope all is well your way Andrew be watching for that build ❤
Can't get a better replication of the artwork! Very nice job here Andrew! I love watching cut up mods over more simplistic builds (not that yours ever are...lol).
Thanks, Jamie. Keeping things mixed up in styles and genres keeps the hobby interesting. Couldn't resist taking on this cartoon. Glad you enjoyed it. 🍁☕️👍
Terrific, Andrew! That's a nicely engineered interpretation of the 'original' 👏🏻🇨🇦👌🏻🇬🇧👍🏻🇨🇭 You must be happy with that....... I finished my Porche mod yesterday before work. By........ persistant demand, I'm under pressure to 'pay it forward' ( no prizes for guessing where to, or to whom!), so I'll get some pictures taken tomorrow and get them sent 📸
Hi, Jack. Glad you liked this little hot rod. Your Porsche will be among the very first submissions this year. I'm sure the recipient (whomever that may be!) will be thrilled with it. 🍁☕️👍👊
thats soo cool! Some really quality job! It kinda inspired me to do something like that with my UAZ van ( an old soviet bus having kinda the similar form to this VW)
Probably 10+ hours, outside of watching things dry... Thanks for tuning in, my friend. Have a Super Sunday! Wish we could catch the big game together. 🍁☕️👍🏈
Thanks so much. This one took longer than most. I'm guessing 10 hours on the bench, then video editing time. I sell the occasional custom, but mostly give them away. This one went to the artist who drew the original cartoon. I appreciate you watching. ☕️🍁👍👊
this was so great!1!!!!!! what a great EP!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this build, Johnny. Your artwork was definitely the inspiration. Thanks for joining the premiere chat. Hello to Ity-B. 🍁☕👊
Very Cool! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much, Brian. This cartoon has taken on several new lives now! 🍁☕️👍😀
Your hard work and fabrication paid off! Another build to be proud of. I'm sure many of us will be watching this one multiple times.
Thanks, Santa. It was all worth it to have both Johnny and Ian join the rest of us in the premiere chat room. 🍁☕️👊
WOW! That really looks FANTASTIC! Great color and details. That was a hard build! Great video my friend!
Thanks a bunch, Mark. It was challenging but satisfying to complete this one. 🍁☕️👍😀

That'd make for an even better Saturday morning! 🍁☕️👍😂
Amazing! What a cool little car!
Isn't it?! I loved it as soon as I saw the cartoon! 🍁☕️👍
Andrew, this was such a fun watch - especially during the premiere, during which Ian and Johnny attended. Such an amazing example of how little cars like these can connect so many.

Me too, JC. It all came together in the premiere chat room with those 2 dropping in. So cool. 🍁☕️👍👊
Ian Roussel built the full-size one.
