Did Full Custom Garage Get CANCELLED? Ian Roussel Shares The REAL Story

[@jerrynickell3613]

Even though TV shows have a "recipe" for creating their audience / following, I believe that people who watch car shows are more interested in seeing the process rather than a formula to fit into 42 minutes. Your KZbin channel fits my needs, so good on you! Thanks for the update!

[@jack002tuber]

Full custom garage did that so much better than the other car build shows. The worst was orange county chopper. OMG we just want to see the build. Stop throwing things and yelling

[@thetvbaby83]

​@@jack002tuber I'd rather watch Ian scratch his head, think about the project and feed the dogs instead of watching the Pauls being drama queens.

It always amazes me that the arts are usually the first things cancelled. In this case the art of customizing a car. I hope you can team up with Gene Winfield again soon!

[@stevemanieri5409]

Thanks for all the great Craftsmanship IAN.😎👍

[@RightHandy13]

The realness of you is what always sold the show. As an amateur car builder I learned so much and am getting more knowledge from the youtube series. Never let that woman down Ian! She is your mirror and your muse now

[@fullcustomIan]

That’s very kind. Thank you

[@mileshall4266]

The car media industry is changing as a whole. Magazines have dwindled for year, I know from experience, being let go from multiple mags. The TV production was always popular but unloved, as it deserved much better. Online media is the natural evolution. You are going to kill this next phase of your work. You, your wife and team members do a great job. Can’t wait to see the next level that is coming.

[@fullcustomIan]

This is so true! Thank you for your support

[@gvet47]

I must say I did not know your past history and only your last year. I enjoy watching and at 77 not sure about needing to pay to continue to watch. I do realize you need to make this a paying job.

Thats true. Trucking mag took down mini truckin mag and I miss it. They took it down over politics in some ways. Mags were so cool. I'm 37 so I saw less book style things than others but I miss those mags.

Great video Ian, I wondered what happened. Always enjoy your shows and Jamie’s contributions. Something that makes your videos so much better than most commercial videos is that you don’t waste our time stretching 30 min shows out to 60 minute episodes as is the trend with most shows. Cheers Peter from downunder.

Funny. I can’t weld to save my life. Not a hot rod guy either. But I too really enjoy this show. It’s peaceful and slow and creativity can breathe.

I met you at an Crusin Ocean City appearance years ago. I wish i wasn't so gobsmacked, and was able to just say thanks... thanks for sharing your craft with us and inspiring a whole slew of car builders with your skills and no holds barred style of building cars. I met Jamie and a young lady too. Thanks Ian. We're still along for the ride. 👍

[@EJG8894]

I still use things I learned on your show in my own garage. The importance of ‘envisioning’ the build, taking a step back to look at the project from afar, invaluable. Love your work, glad to see you progressing even further!

Smart move. Its more at home than the other shows. Your channel is one of my absolute favorite channels here on YT. No clickbaite, no nonsense, just a great, friendly couple that shows us whats going on in the garage. Its therapy :)

[@TexRenner]

The best part of Full Custom Garage (for me) was watching you create. Some of the shows yours was aired alongside were just sticking "JC Whitney" gimmicks on a car and calling it custom. Plus, your personality, you always come off as easy going and upbeat. This new KZbin phase is already giving us more insight into your process and who you are. You and Jamie are fun to follow.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thanks! We’re really trying to give people a glimpse into the process and how we actually make these cars.

[@williamworden3597]

I guess in these later years I stopped watching. But you mentioned "just adding sponsors products and not using yor creative skill". When I first started watching, I saw NO sponsors products, just your unique skills. My God man, you built a sports car out of CARBOARD, and blew a "bubble top" and not just 1. All your early episodes were ALL YOU. 😀

[@Robocoppat]

I work in law enforcement and also have been welding and fabricating for over 30++ years and every time I see a video or an old show, I always pick up some useful information. Your metal work is some of the best ive ever seen. I was building a 1929 3 window plymouth coupe. 4 wheel disc, shortened mosers rear, boxed frame,chopped and channeled, 283 sbc, muncie rockcrusher, and some other odds and ends. Unfortunately i had to sell it to get a home for my expanding family. I'm looking forward to what you create next.Like most people will comment about 99% of all of the other " car build " shows go, your show has been, and always will be my favorite. I do have to ask if all of the tools on the show are yours or other? I have a moderate vintage/antique license plate collection that I would be honored to send you some to hang in your shop.

You sir, are an inspiration. A humble man that has a knack to teach those of us that lack your skill set, but are not afraid to roll up our sleeves, get to work and try to leave our mark in this world. You are truly "Outta this World". Can I make a suggestion? First of all, I have enjoyed your work from the beginning. Even before knowing your name. I used to refer to you as "The Car Designer with Lightning Bolt Tattoos on his Arms". Maybe you should incorporate a Bolt into your insignia. Put it on the Arm that is shifting a stick shift out of the space ship... Or an additional drawing of the spaceship with two landing gear with those same tattoos on the landing gear. Just a thought Bub... Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jamie...

[@FL_450]

What you all are doing is exactly what I have been hoping for out of car shows for years! I love seeing the nitty gritty, many episodes, all the details. True car enthusiasts / builders don’t want the cliff notes or a 42 minute build. Keep up the awesome work, and thank you both for the great content. I open KZbin many times a day looking forward to the next episode. Happy Thanksgiving!

Can't believe I've just discovered full custom garage in the last month. I've binged 7 seasons every spare moment since (quite a few late nights while the wife was sleeping and it's currently 3am in NZ watching this) Love your builds and your non dramatic demeanour. Looking forward to more late night binging of all your KZbin videos.

My memory's gone, but my favorite show was the famous guy, passed now, that made hot rods, but his show picked up where he left off last week. Shows now days completely rebuild and paint a car in the hour, and I hate it. I'd much rather see a complete job in a whole season, step by step, than a 30 minute transformation. The step by step stuff is how I learn the most.

I love watching you cut stuff up, throwing caution to the wind so it seems, then how easy you make it look to create a vision to replace it. I used to do a bit of mural work on panel-vans and motorcycles back in the 80's here in Australia and have always had a fascination in custom vehicles. I go back and watch some of the Full Custom stuff as the finished product in a lot of cases was just amazing. Just watched the episode of you and Victor finishing his brother's dual axle boat creation ... just WOW. Custom vehicle creation on KZbin would not be the same without Team Roussel ...

Awesome and heartfelt. You deserve the audience, but you have to admit you were working above your pay grade when you met Jamie. By the way, I happened to have loved the Corvair episode. It showed that you didn’t have to move the Earth each episode, more low key like what you are doing now.

Hi Ian! I've been binge watching FCG and Love it! I actually got hooked on Cheese Biscuit one day when I turned on the TV and Motor Trend happened to be on. I've been watching from the beginning and an episode a day. and I just got up to the Keep on Truckin' Ep and the Roof Skin. That seemed a bit Stretched. I had no idea that you had a KZbins. Now I have to catch up here. I am glad to see you evolve and grow. There are only a few choice TV shows that I watch. I've been mostly a KZbin watcher because of the shorter content. BTW I've a name for the Kicking up Dust "buggy". The Dessert Inspector. Although it seems like you have moved on from the dessert shop. I now have to catch up here on the Tubes.

I used to watch Full Custom Garage, and it wasn’t always easy to get in Canada due to network issues, which channel is going to carry it. I enjoyed the show, it was different than other car shows at the time. Now that there’s the KZbin channel and I’m not going to lie and I’m certainly not trying to blow sunshine up either yours or Jamie’s butts but I enjoy this format more. I do wish we could have longer episodes, sometimes it seems things are getting quite interesting and it’s “ well folks until next time” o’clock. Now just wondering what’s up with Lil Jewel? Have you put that project on the shelf? Are you collecting some parts for it, looking at putting it on yet another frame? I know the original frame was no longer viable and you had thought about retrofitting the cab onto that other frame from your buddies truck. Just wondering as it was a nice looking COE

Developing a project isn't a linear progression. Seeing parts of an organic process is a lot more interesting to me than making the process look like a magic trick. In my experience, creating art is many times a process of trial and error. Relax and enjoy watching someone else doing the work and having fun with it.

[@fullcustomIan]

[@gigs-nature]

I found Full Custom Garage part way through its life via Freesat TV in the UK. I wasn't sure why the TV show stopped but I'm so happy you continued on KZbin. I love the craft but Ian's easy going delivery makes it such a joy to watch. I'll keep watching as long as you keep making.

[@troygoggans5495]

The film industry is changing because technology has progressed so that fifty people are no longer needed to produce a entertaining product. And the best thing I and the other viewers get to watch something we are interested in enough to watch. The thing about the shows produce by production companies is they are trying to produce a product that appeals to a broad audience and do not care about purpose of content. I had grown lackadaisical about watching a number of shows such as home remodeling and custom car builds where grown adults were acting like goofy teenagers playing tricks on each other. I am glad in that I had experience watching Ian’s show on TV and when I saw you where on KZbin I was excited. So far you guys are producing what I have wanted to see on the TV shows and I really hope that ya’ll can make this work financially.

[@crankyoldman65]

Thanks for 'putting that out there'. I think discerning viewers (fans), could tell from the start you weren't one to tolerate corporate BS. I realized your independence by the credits to the production company that owned your show idea, and that it was 'apart' from MT. Discovery/Warner Blunders has dumped a number of 'reality' shows and characters across the spectrum but the biggest hits seemed to come at MT. I feel sympathy more for the production people than the talent. The show runners, camera crews, logistics people don't have You Tube to fall back on. You and Jamie have made a great transition to You Tube (probably because you were independent to start with) and I enjoy greatly 'watching the sausage get made'.

I've been in that situation too. Can't blame someone for doing what matters most to themselves.

[@kevinbaker5984]

Well I for one am glad you had the opportunity to do Full Custom Garage! I loved the show and watched each episode multiple times! Quit often I felt it didn’t show enough of you fabricating or finishing the metal work. Anyway I wish you and your wife success and I hope you end up doing another show on your terms!

[@fullcustomIan]

Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it!

[@user-lj1hi4xh6o]

Ian you do awesome work with simple tools. Never miss one episode.

[@RickLalli]

Hey Ian, I just wanted to say I have enjoyed all of your content, and I think it's Great you are able to do what's best for you and your wife and not a tv network. All the best to you! I am looking forward to more of your builds . Especially the air cooled ones!

[@garymartin9806]

At least you went out on your Terms. I sure do admire you for that. You are so talented I have followed you since Monster garage. You are just as AMAZING as RING BROTHERS and people should realize that. And I loved the Corvair episode.

You and Jamie did good, are doing good and I am sure will continue to do good. Love this current format.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thanks, it means a lot!

[@Guns_N_Gears]

Ian, thank you for many great years of encouragement and high-quality entertainment. I hope to see much more here!

[@kevs6402]

Your program is one of the best on youtube. Stay the course, Love it.

[@billtaylor5853]

Respect for doing what you did. What you're doing now is way better. Thanks for the explanation.

[@fullcustomIan]

We are glad you think so!

[@John-n3o1r]

I discovered you on Full Custom Garage and looked forward to your episodes weekly. You tube is the new medium for me, its pretty much what I prefer, watching real people doing what they love. I am glad you are continuing your fabrication passion on KZbin. I like how you work, keeping it real and your sense of humor. Keep up the great work, best wishes from your fan from Australia.

[@PhiddyPford]

I’m glad you figured out the risk/reward factor in the show. I personally think the new producer is the best thing that has happened to this show!

[@fullcustomIan]

😎😎

[@jjfromtexas586]

Love your content Ian! I didn’t even know you had a KZbin channel until today. Glad I found it.

[@fullcustomIan]

Welcome aboard!

There's no questioning your out-of-the-box ingenuity, craftsmanship, and problem solving artistry. In an industry of high dollar, cookie cutter rides made for wealthy elites. It is a refreshing change of pace to see someone create masterpieces from what many call junk. And iIt's awesome to know that even if your old show isn't coming back, we can still get a dose of Ian's great-rides. Keep up the inspirational work, and don't forget to have fun along the way.

👍👍🤗

[@flint3317]

I remember you saying on your youtube show that you were the one who quit the Full Custom show and why so this came as no surprise. Love what you do now and i pray you can make a living at it. Keep it up, Happy Holidays to you both

[@stuartmarkman769]

I have learnd so much more about car building and how the real details are done. No short cuts just real building.

[@U2ube9001]

We all love you guys here. You have reached worldwide notoriety in my head...G'day from Australia. I love how you're an artist whose outlet is mostly classic/vintage cars.

[@bugeaterfan1950]

How can I buy some merch. As an old body man I respect your skills very much. I want to support your channel

Hello Ian I am a nurse (like Jaimie if I understood correctly) and I have just retired. I have time now to watch your videos on YT. I love this new format by episodes. When I watch it is like hearing from an old friend from the other side of the world. We feel like we are part of your family. A great pleasure. Keep it up.
