Creating a Pirate Ship Interior - Full Custom Garage - S01 E08 - Automotive Reality

[@hayesoneal3104]

I have to say that last line fits Ian so perfectly. You got these builders who went to design school and have high dollar CNC machines and and machines for making body panels and machines for just about anything and they learn how to design custom vehicles and learn how to use the fancy machines. Then you have Ian, the natural design expert that can blow your mind with the most basic tools and salvaged materials and he just feels it out and doesn't overthink it

Funny, I just found this channel a couple days ago, and now found your step van. Like you..I have always driven a van, both for work(carpet installer)and camping. My first was a 63 Eco. in 1975. Now I'm a big guy(6"6)so room is always a thing + I like taking the H-D and don't like pulling a trailer. So my forever truck is a mid size 1985 GMC ValueVan(step van)put it on a 87 C class 1 ton motor home chassis with tbi 350 and t-400 trans. One of the things I didn't want to worry about was the paint, so it doesn't have any, I stripped it and just going to polish it. My couch/bed folds up to 1 side, large, tool box, vanity, closet, fridge, and a stand up shower, and still room for the bagger. One of the nice things about mine is it's square. Trying to figure out a sun visor right now(gangster style)do ya do requests lol. It's been 3 long years, and now it's close. See ya on the road. ✌

SL500 gullwing The smooth curvaceous body, the luxuriously understated silver and maroon palette. This is the energy i get here.

[@chrisloomis1489]

That is a great Van , the old INTERNATIONAL Delivery vans were beautiful from a time of near Art Deco , and warm ergonomic contours , when things had a human feel or organic function. Ian Roussel ; you did amazing work a work of Love. Get good shocks under her 😇

[@renash1815]

Love seeing that van of his again. I really like it. And "Dude" aka the shop inspector was great to see him. We all miss him. He was a sweetheart.

[@VintageJunker]

That is so Cool "This Truck looks like a Giant Toaster" haha, A perfect way to describe it!

[@cranialnerv]

It’s such a pleasure to see real actual functional builds. So many are fake trash. This work is beautiful.

[@godofrock]

Hammoks are perfect for pirate vans🏴‍☠️

[@larryparrish7780]

I grew up wanting a van like this and to see this one transformed into a shop truck is wonderful. Thanks for bringing back memories of my cousin's van.

[@birdssurfshed]

Having two 1947 Stordor Bodied delivery vans one on a Dodge chassis and the other on a Willys Overland truck chassis this video has gotten me all fired up. Thank you

[@bobcat3653]

That interior looks like a great template for a shaggin wagon Party van !!

[@WilliamHBonney-m3r]

That's BADASS ❤❤❤❤

[@DragonaireJoy]

It looked great on my big TV and I love the song!!!! Nicely done:))🎉🎉🎉

[@patrickrooney5130]

You did a wonderful job buddy. The van looks fantastic.

[@dougcook8804]

You said a mouth full. Love your show bubba ❤🎉have a lot of fun.

[@DevinMichaels-bx2qk]

Your fabrication work is outstanding ian.

[@billybrown6330]

Compound curved interior trim fabrication is my area of expertise. A trick that I use is the use of a tape pattern to capture the curved contoured area. First, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol to ensure the masking tape will stick. Overlapping the masking tape is necessary so that when the pattern is removed the tape maintains its shape. The tape pattern will possibly need some relief cuts put in it to permit the tape pattern to be flattened out. Cut the tape pattern to flatten it out and stick it onto the material being used Next, cut out the shape. When the material is bent back into the shape where the relief cuts line up, the desired shape is achieved. Materials will vary depending on the task and additional procedures may be required. I really like the Van project and enjoy watching the channel. The elephant in the room for me was the unfinished interior structure behind the trim panels.

[@williamdennis4250]

Your work is awesome as always.

[@Danny__D]

Will be awesome to see it when it's painted

[@shotsrodder]

I forgot about this build 🤩 one of my favorites 👍😎

[@colinrogers9927]

Too cool! I love that van

[@mdemers767]

Sweet! I just bought a '61 IH Metro AM120 (the 3/4ton, long wheelbase version of this). It's got the most rust free body on one of these I've ever seen. I plan on turning the back into a camper so I can tow my IH Scout II to shows and going off road with it and not have to worry about being a little extra hard on the 4x4 while I'm wheeling it because I can tow it home. AFAIK, it's almost totally original. The engine needs replaced, and I'd like to go either Cummins or Powerstroke (to keep it IH) for towing torque and fuel economy. The tiny c.i. I6 just ain't gonna cut it. Can't wait to see how this one turns out to see what I'd like to incorporate and what pitfalls to avoid.

[@Geezer_Gun]

Righteous Rides Dude!!!

[@samarooragbir81]

Ian I love looking at your work it great making something from scrap and then became value what a great man you are keep Bless BRO

[@jerryhayden8720]

Awesome build. I'm getting stoked up with excitement & ideas as to what I'm going to do with a 1993 E 350 Club Wagon I've got sitting around. It's time I tackle this once church shuttle van. I really enjoyed watching this build & using some recycled materials was really cool for sure.👍

[@BongDonky]

Killer milk truck.

[@planefloat]

Wow, going back in time! I had an IH Metro lunch truck like this back in 1964 in the Boston Mass area. Nice to see one again. Queasyrider

[@Scano41]

Alway great work and content in you're video's keep them coming

[@shalomechristie8404]

Big congrats from jamaica

[@randyanderson5653]

Love your work. It's inspiring. Do you have any video's of the finished product? I was imagining LED's behind the grill. That would really set it off at night. Im working on a cycle kart build. Alot smaller, but works well with my setup. My inspiration vehicle is a 1934 Duzzenburg.

[@paulchogolmad6808]

Wowww....!!!!

[@ScottDoten]

👏 Looks great.

[@matthewfocke5360]

Power on!

[@scubatrucker6806]

Badass van❤❤❤

[@walkertongdee]

I converted a 53 same style long-body dualie, gotta have a heater, fridge, and kitchen that's too small to be useful.

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

[@pmp2559]

It will be perfect and awesome if you make a treasure chest for the engine cover

[@duanewhite3184]

Inside of ships on the ceiling in the rooms they would put what you call battons going going across the ceiling about one foot apart from each other and then hang the paneling on it

Ian, do you still have the van?

[@denniscarreno5882]

Nice build Ian….

[@darrenbrisson4336]

When you cut glass you hacd to start the run from the bottom side and to sand the edges you need to make sure the rolling sander has to be moving away from the edge not the other way you'll Chipotle glass which inturn will crack at the chip

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

Wow a Brubaker box

[@duanewhite3184]

Hit it with a torch or just a flame good enough to heat but not crack it

[@markjames-k7w]

Your background music is kicking bro

[@timothyvandyke-lc1oi]

[@gordondurkee7612]

Where is the pirate ship?

[@neildalzell247]

How can you hear the talking for the background music it's so loud, WHY HAS IT GOT TO BE SO LOUD

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

His buddy's dodge van made me think of stories my boss had told me about his old dodge van he had when he lived out west and at one time in Cali he lived across the street from Jerry Garcia while Jerry's house was being built and then Ian throws out a Jerry Garcia quote😂

[@curtisnewton895]

but all that rusted sheet metal are going to rot away, I dont get it

[@williammccormack6295]

Love these old trucks especially International as i have a 1954 AR110 International sidestep pickup custom build i did myself 50,s Hotrod theme Bill Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@johnrowland6144]

I bet you're a Beatles and Pink Floyd fan

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Nice looking van. However, I’d never have it “skateboarding” the ground; I’d never lower it from the original frame height. Next, I’d put in an automatic transmission, because I can’t drive a stick shift. Next, I’d put a lot of windows in it; have the right side open up just like the left side. I’d paint it a rich metallic green; give it monster tires.

[@eydeekay]

God there's SO MUCH TALKING on this show

[@rohanwood5968]

Then don’t watch.

[@josephwhite9953]

It's a TV show if you don't like it then you shouldn't watch TV because everything is like this

[@kodak_jack]

No offense to the newer videos, but I prefer these older ones over the newer desert ones. It's more Ian building and a lot less blather that gets annoying.

[@leohale6449]

What kind of Dog is He?

[@DISKHUNT]

Never! Cut glass this way.................pppfffftttt

[@CallMeAllan]

Too much talk.

[@williambuck3999]

Hey when are you guys gonna get the super car episode finish

[@charleswilliams8197]

I've watched a lot of his videos and I really have got to say that the van he was working on looks very nice and Sharp if I lived in the area where he lives and work's I definitely would have him doing my projects for real people for real okay thanks Charles Williams ⚡😎♥️🤍💙🌈⚡
