1938 Kustom Cadillac: Ian Roussel Fabs What Some Might Say Is A Trashcan Lid! 😂😂😂

[@fullcustomIan]

Have a great weekend! 👽👽 ~ The Roussels

[@Jack_Ratchet]

I like it! Don't know what you have planned for it but just wondering that it must not be a rumble seat or you probably would have hinged it on the side maybe a third of the way up. Okay okay, just set the notifications.

[@andrewd7586]

I love it when Jaime sees you’re OBVIOUSLY draggin the chain Ian & she’s hits your fast forward button!🚀🤣👍🏼

[@dennissastini3312]

Spare tire on deck lid?

[@Pwandlina]

Cmon back where are yous?

[@65bugnut]

The reason that I enjoy watching Ian is that he doesn't have all of those "fancy" tools. He solves problems on the fly, and uses what he has. His vehicles turn out just as well, or better than some of those high budget shops. Carry on Ian.

[@gregdavis1487]

While he does build cars and they run they are are works of art. I feel Ian is an artist whose medium is custom cars.

[@Inthegarage685]

I miss the montage theme music from his show while he works. Bum bum bwow bum bum bwow bum bum

[@Inthegarage685]

Lilly the dog inspector needs to approve

[@henricoboshoff9367]

He doesn't need to listen to anyone...artist in action ....everyday is something new I like it alot

[@nv1493]

World class builder, still uses what he has, one man garage. Totally relatable to a lot of us out here.

[@luminousswan560]

Please don't let the "never finish anything" commenters and other complainers get to you. Because your latest Victor-visit video had 90,000 views (a very good sampling for statistical analysis) I noted it had 577 comments at the time. That means the silent majority is at around 99.36 percent and silence typically expresses satisfaction; and, although I didn't check, I'd bet that complaints comprise less than one percent of the total comments. I'd say you have overwhelming support for continuing the way you are doing things, me included. While it will be vicariously satisfying to see all of your projects when finished, I am very happy that you are taking us along for the ride getting there.

[@fullcustomIan]

Comment of the day! I love statistical analysis 😎 ~ Jamie

[@all4runner316]

I believe all of Ian's builds once finished are amazing, some of the most beautiful and complete custom builds on earth.

[@jimapollo]

what they don't get is, that those builds are no "tuning" stuff. This is rolling and drivable sculptured artwork. In terms of painters, the tuners are either the Bob Ross nice looking landscape painters or repainters of a digital image. Ian is like Giacomo Balla recreating and rearranging forms and colors until the artist is satisfied. You're not gonna be a better artist by using a 500$ brush. Those are no daily drivers for bringing the kids to school or driving to the office.

[@TX-biker]

Everybody learns something on this channel: Jamie learns and constantly refines her editing and filming skills - we the public learn the real time “process” of the master of metal - and Ian learns there are many other that embrace his form of chaos 🤠😎

[@LeifEricson-i5w]

When you are recycling metal it stirs memories of my Dad. In the 50's thru the 70's Dad collected metal where he could find it to make things. He had a wheelbarrow with wood supports that broke and a tire that always lose air. He dug in the shed and found the bars from a model A that kept the axle straight and a steel wheel from a cultivator and mounted the wheel to the bars and made spacers to level the pan and welded together. I still have it today. We also made a trailer for a 12 ft boat I bought. The only thing I had to buy was the rollers for the keel. Keep being creative. Thanks.

[@denniswillie949]

Watched Ian for years build these cars I’ve learned a lot I’m a 68 year old student so I’m still taking notes and enjoying his expertise it sure saves me a lot of time on my project by taking his techniques and applying to my build where needed thanks Ian and Jamie for sharing God Bless

[@johnhart125]

I'm the same, am 73, built and loved cars my whole life, we work much the same way but he has taught me a lot

[@larryfriend2584]

Ian, I fully understand your process. After spending my Career doing Autobody work in all kinds of Shops, I usually had 2 or 3 cars or pickups in my stalls that I was rotating between all the time for various issues. Waiting on parts, Bondo to harden, Primer to dry, doing Trim out or detail finishing while the big project sat. Also, when I worked for Graham Oates who once worked for George Barris and learned to do some customization, he would have me fabricate a section of a fender or a side skirt or fill in the gaps after a roof chop and I was always going from one side to the other to make sure that I was making the parts I was welding in look symmetrical, and I can tell you it's not easy. You make it look easy and I watch and think how I wish I had half as much talent as you. I did the best I could on every project I did. Sometimes the guy you work for doesn't want the best, he just wants it done so he can get paid. I've walked in your shoes and if you ever see me Criticize you, understand I know of where I speak. Keep telling the Never Dones and don't understand the processer that you'll get there. I've seen some custom projects in Graham's Shop take 2 or 3 years to finish. I've spent weeks just cutting out rust and putting in patches or replacement panels. These reality shows you see on Discovery Channel aren't real. Just to put a replacement quarter panel on a car takes a full day or more, 95% of that is just welding it one spot at a time so you don't warp the panel. None of that includes replacing any inner structure. Keep on doing it your own way Ian.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you 🙏

[@larryfriend2584]

@@fullcustomIan You're welcome.

[@GreggFesto]

Ian and Jamie keep doing your thing. The channel is AWESOME!

[@fullcustomIan]

Always!

[@marklatkowski9327]

Ian, your patience and persistence with these projects as well as your vision for the final result are most admirable. Jamie, your editing is really taken a leap forward. Thank you both!

[@fullcustomIan]

Many thanks!

[@AlanReeves-h8y]

I love how Ians’ mind works he has a genius mindset that tells his craftsman hands what to do , I’m amazed with his insight

[@KeithRutledge-t1w]

Jamie , Thanks for always trying to bring the best looking content to us , so very much appreciated ! Ian I'm always amazed at your creativity solving problems ! Now that you have a round trunk , maybe a round spare tire cover inserted in the front fender ?? Just to continue that theme abit....I live for Fridays and time spent with Jamie and Ian !!

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you 🙏

[@vacustoms]

I caught a glimse of the Zephyr in the background, and even in it's rusty patina it looks wicked..... I'm beginning to notice a similarity to all these builds... while they are all unique in their design there is a definate and recognizable common thread... Ians' artistic approach to the sculpture is evident in all current projects... It's getting to the point that, given a line of custom cars, I could pick out Ians' work... does anybody else see it or have I been staring at the screen too long? lolol... nice music and production on this video too... can't forget the editor who toils over the final product... the videos are evolving as well..... nice work guys.....

[@StevenPalomares]

Ian you are the Pablo Picasso of custom car art or the Leonardo da Vinci what don't people see they don't have the visions sent from up above that you turn into divine art ! Did I over do it anyways it's looking bad ass once victor puts his stamp on it this will be another award winner.

[@JeffKopis]

If he was Picasso, the left headlight would higher than the right one, and the nose would be pointed to one side.

[@ronjackson3]

I think your method is just creativity, doing ordinary things in extraordinary ways.

[@CraigPatterson-sx5nb]

A big Thank You to Ian and Jamie I have ALS and spend 12 hours a day in a recliner I look forward to all your videos I grew up with a Dad that did a lot of fabricating brings back a lot of memories Thank You again Craig in Green Bay

[@IndridCool54]

Once folks understand that what you’re doing is rolling sculpture/art then they might understand your style. It’s really interesting to me because I am not an artist and the process is so cool. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@fullcustomIan]

Well said!

[@NathanBrannock]

I like watching you because so many people and there backyard garages learn a lot because they like you just a basic tools and if you need something you make it so it will work as a tool. You don’t need all the high-tech laser, cutters, metal benders, and computers to make artwork. Thanks for the show.👍👍

[@bobmalone6076]

Ian’s intelligence and spatial reasoning is incredibly impressive, not to mention his positive attitude. We need more guys like this.

[@TX-biker]

Growing up I had a neighbor that told me “Every clamp is another set of hands”. I have never forgotten, and repeat it often🤠👍🏽

[@stephenwenzel6909]

I’m not sure if the comments would bother me but I think you should keep doing what you do the way you do because most of us love it

[@texastomeh3077]

I have been watching Ian for years on his various shows and videos. He is by far the best at his ART and presentation. He and Jamie are a "match made in Heaven" for their KZbin videos. I pray that they are as happy and well matched in real life as they appear to be in the videos!!! This is one of their BEST!! REALLY enjoyed it!! WELL DONE!!

[@cjnavyblue]

I tell you guys I’m like a drunk that needs his drink. I have withdrawals when I can’t watch your videos. You guys are the best.

[@TimHWolfe]

Charged up my EyeMuffs and have been grinding and sanding on a couple projects in the garage. They work great !! Hooked them to my phone for some tunes while I work. 👍👍👍

[@fullcustomIan]

Awesome!!! So glad you like them!!

[@r1lark]

It wasn't until about the last minute I finally "saw" what Ian was trying to do. Looks great..........amazing how Ian can 'see' this in his mind, and work it to completion!

[@michaelbristol6467]

I ❤ Ian's methodical approach. He always finds a way to manipulate the metal 1 way or another without a million dollars in equipment. 😉✌

[@fullcustomIan]

Well said!

[@JeffNichols-i8e]

Hands down the best content on u tube. Informative, casual and outstanding results. Keep it up. From big Jeff in Australia

[@lelandhallett7126]

Thank you both so much for all you do for us

[@donaldwatson6342]

Too many people have become used to the SEMA build speeds. They have forgotten how the old school designs were created, which was not done by a computer. Your builds are extremely unique, Thank You for not being a cookie cutter.

[@JeffKopis]

7:15 Ah! You took my Quasimodo remark to heart! 😃 Does that mean I'm an INFLUENCER? 😂

[@MrRickad]

Ian I love watching you work through your projects ( even though you bounce around a bit ). Your head has all the ideas and your hands just follow through. Amazing. Jamie. I like that you ask questions…you often ask exactly what I’m wondering and POOF I get the answer.

[@user-Rich-1969]

Love watching you turn up out of thin air!, Amazing to watch you build the rear hatch, You build it how you want, DO what works for you....Rich...

[@garyseaton4619]

I've watched you for years. I love your work. I'm of the opinion that your work is absolute genius. This Caddywhack series has me enthralled. When I get in your neighborhood again I'd love to bring you a beer and view your visions...

Thank you very much

Don’t let others spoil how you operate being different is Kool and out of the box keeps the mind young. Stay true to yourselves and thank you.

True Craftsman in Action. Ignore the whiners, they’re trolls for the most part. Either that or they’re jealous of Ian’s skills. Great videography and editing Jamie.

Dont ever change your show content..master garage fabacator!!!!

[@ellertorresiii1081]

As the other gentleman said, you’re Ian the Great Fabricator! All of us on this Earth 🌎 do not have the same thinking. You got to do it your way where you’re comfortable with yourself. The other individuals just can’t understand your way of thinking. When I was in college, like when I am studying both TV and radio are both on. For some reason that helps me to concentrate more versus no noise at all. I just can’t do it. I shared this to my grandkids and they have their own way to deal with it. LOL 😂😅. You got to remember that those people making comments, suggestions, etc. also have their own process when they are doing something. So no worries. They are your subscribers too.Hi Ms. Jamie

[@artmedrano1541]

Ian I have been watching your shows and these KZbin broadcasts for a while now . I love that for the most part you create as a lone hombre. I’m a garage solo hot rod builder and I learn so much from your shows! Keep it up! Oh…..so sorry about the shop inspector. I loved that dog! You have a cool wife too!

[@cryingdemocrats1460]

A master metal artist ,that creates something you can have fun going down the road... 👈😎👍 Great show !

[@TimboT78]

You guys r awesome been watching you Ian from the tv keep up the great work from Tim Australia 👍💪👌👊

[@bruceirwin3516]

I could watch you work your magic for hours your mind is a miraculous thing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@raykaufman7156]

Support the "top" and "bottom" of the ring on blocks, put a board across the center, and drive over it. Don't laugh, it works great. Just add more blocks to get more curve

Cooling Ian off! He was looking a bit red😂😂 Good stuff!

[@bradmarshall9526]

I learn so many things watching Ian. I would have fought those clamps all day long and you made it look easy. Experience and common sense at its best. Great Job!

[@boltman1974]

I totally understand working on different projects at the same time. For me it keeps ideas fresh and the progeny doesn’t get stale. Loving your channel, such great inspiration. Keep up the good work you two and cheers from Australia

Super Rad. This is the Best school ever🤙🏼❤❤❤❤

[@donaldrivas8872]

The wood &clamps superb!!

[@raynavarra]

Outstanding job. Remember those who cannot do, come to KZbin to comment negatively. These are not production parts. They’re one off originals. Wait for the finished product at least before criticizing. The finished product always looks amazing from Ian.

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

Another gripping episode... With clamps! 😂 I don't know where you are going with the rear lid... BUT I really like it 😁!

[@rickfeatherston]

Enjoy your work. Been watching for years. Rick; Ridgecrest Ca.

Much appreciated

Excellent way of getting to the point Ian. Keep doing it your way. 🇦🇺👍

[@charleslawrence7194]

Visited a couple buddies today. One has a 56 Packer and the other has a 47 Buick. Both cars are huge and rough but neither has much rust. I thought to myself, Ian could do wonders with these. I really appreciate what you do. 👍

[@betobaguilar1253]

Hey Ian don’t forget you are the master of your craft. You create how you feel. You are Maestor.

[@albusdd2241]

DaVinci didn’t finish painting Mona Lisa’s ears first. He did the whole thing and fine tuned the detail as he went along. Keep up the amazing work!

You folks are a good team. *This* is how you build a hot rod.

[@ballpickerinparadise3481]

Like the music that you’ve taken time to put in the SHOW. 👍🏽🤙🏾 Jamie

[@lightworrior1970]

Your sculpture skills are amazing…the car is just a medium. You get your metal and with a flex here and a tweak there - great fit 🇦🇺

[@patrickdibble5649]

Ian I’ve been watching you and have to say you are a man that finds a problem and uses the huge artistic brain and makes awesome sculptures please ignore anyone that has a armchair comment you and your wife be careful in that desert heat thank you both 😅

[@alanhartley173]

First love Ian and his work, love him and Jamie as a couple. Second, to complete the look of that trunk lid, you need an Oscar the grouch stuffed animal to pop up every time you open the lid.

[@fullcustomIan]

This is true LOL

[@mikebarrett3428]

It’s cool how you create everything from your imagination with no blue print or schematic necessary! You are very talented indeed.

[@dr.zacharysmith1207]

Wow what a beautiful job ! You make it look so easy.

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

From the moment you drew that circle on the back I had this idea of dual latches top and bottom. Open the top so it pivots on the bottom side pins about 1/4 the way up. The top section has a seat back mounted on it. 2 L shaped braces that come from the top to slides with a seat bottom. So as you pull the top up the seat bottom is pulled back under the top for a rumble seat. If you unlatch the bottom it retracts those pivot pins in and pivots on those L bracket top pins and you have access to a trunk below and behind the seat base. Just a crazy dual function trunk. Open one way have trunk, open the other have rumble seat.

[@warrenashley7201]

Love the way you use what you have, and make it conform to what you need

[@edward-411]

I started watching Ian about 8 years ago on Roku Channel. He's awesome. Love the videos Ian. You inspire me to build

[@todhuen1994]

I love to watch you create your master piece

[@noonehere1793]

You bring up a good point between art theory and reality. I was a potter in college, i LOVED to create one-off shapes. I got popular and then people came to me asking if i could create a set of XYZ……eventually that was all i was doing, CREATING other peoples ideas. Eventually i lost my heart for throwing. I still have my wheel clogged with spiders i am sure….DON’T EVER LOSE YOUR CREATIVE EDGE IT IS WHAT I ADMIRE MOST ABOUT YOU….. and to the nay sayers i can only say SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MASTRY AT WORK😁🤔😁👍👍👍
