Full Custom Ian Completes Fabrication On The 1940's Chevy Chop Top Sail Panel And It's Out The Door

[@fullcustomIan]

Hey all! We dropped this video late last night...well not late late, but around 7:30 pm PST We were really excited to show you the sail panel fix and talk about CaddyWhacked. Remember to check if you are * SUBSCRIBED, COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE! * We are pushing for 100K by the end of February to celebrate on year fully on KZbin! Jamie was encouraged by a fellow youtuber early last year to just pick up the camera and GO! And that is what we did! Our first VERY GRAINY video was posted in February 2023! What a wonderful year it has been for The Roussel's! Without our community our channel wouldn't exist! We are getting close to 100K! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for looking out for your subscribers. There are so many scammers out there.

[@ephjay6t87]

Me too. Should they be flagged/reported?

[@RussYonkie-fw3se]

I subscribed a long time ago and I've been watching you for many years

[@sethtoe]

This one of those scams..

[@sethtoe]

I reported one of them.

[@markatr6]

still the ONLY car restoration show i can watch, no drama, stupid music, intentionally stupid hairsttyles, just education, inspiration and some one enjoying the work, thanks ian

[@ephjay6t87]

You said it for me. Thank you. So relaxing to watch Ian work.

[@charliesgrumma5388]

And he doesn't push a sponsors product either!

[@markatr6]

even that i can take to SOME degree, because some folks DO have to support their efforts, but only when actually using the product, not just 'heres a good time to talk about wilson's sugary cheese snack !"...yep, ian does us right..@@charliesgrumma5388

[@shaunclifton5281]

Exactly. A Prime example is Graveyard Cars. I LOVE the cars, and cannot stand to watch 3 minutes of that show. All that time Wasted with Goofy, dramatic, Stupid CRAP that is NOT Funny nor entertaining.

The only wish i have is that the show must be everyday. Love wathing this channel

Just getting free content from Jamie and Ian is a gift in itself thank you both for all you do.

Thank you!

[@Retrofordguy]

I think what makes the channel work so well is the fact that both ian and jamie are humble and caring of their community. I love to watch ian work as i live vicariously through him to get the fill of building cars that i used to love doing myself over 15 years ago i dont get to do that anymore unfortunately so i enjoy watching a talented builder that of ian create some one of a kind vehicles. I would love to meet both ian and jamie one day but living in uk and struggling with funds to travel abroad thats probably not going to happen. Thankyou to the both of you for getting me out of my slump of anxiety and depression both of you bring a well deserved smile to my day and i sincerely Thankyou!

[@billweinholtz154]

You both work together so well. It’s always a pleasure watching you two with the questions and answers. So a day without Jamie and Ian is like a day without sunshine. Ian your technical teaching is second to none.

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

I admire how you keep you shop so clean looking with all the body work and grinding you do. The music at about 30 min's is great.

Awesome Video, watching all the Aches and Pains of building these. Thanks for the Video Y’all.

[@waltpettis1480]

Thanks. ian for teaching and explaining. I did bodywork for nearly fifty years and when I would play puzzle with cars. (My late wife described it that way.) I'm glad you have your own channel. I learn something every show. Y'all are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Greetings from South Carolina...funny you said the scam thing! Just got one today... saying or pretending they were you guys. Thanking me for being a long time subscriber,friend of the show,etc. etc wanting to have a long conversation to get to know me!!?? Tried to find the source?? Couldn't do it.

My past viewing of other channels has left me with a sour taste for using a grinder to cut metal, you sir handle one as a skilled surgeon would a scalpel. It is a pleasure to watch you sculpt with your tools, talent, and craftsmanship. Now if I could only find someone to change my hate for using channel lock pliers as a go to instead of proper wrenches. Thanks for the great video's, all the best to you.....RF

Y'all are literally the first channel I go to and I've been anxiously awaiting another video since Sunday❤ there's quite a few I watched but there's only a select few that have real content and complete candor throughout😊

This is why I call this channel the "learning channel". Thanks for the real goods on metal fab!

[@mikehutchinson8745]

I'm not a car person. I don't build, customize or create anything like you do. But... I do enjoy watching what you do and learn things. It's refreshing to watch someone who is genuinely real and talented. Keep doing what you do and being who you are.... And your lovely wife does a fabulous job and asks the questions I probably would... Cheers

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you! We are glad you are here!

[@williamcordier1201]

I genuinely love having so much content from you guys. I learn so much from Ian and I really enjoy the husband wife interaction. Well wishes to you both. Can't wait to see that Caddy and what Victor has in mind!

[@JimGriskewicz]

Ian and Jamie, I have been a fan since the beginning. But I think your productions on you tube are the best! The love you two have for each other makes it fun to watch!!! On your jeep, I hope you hone the block, ring the pistons, and lap the valves! That will surprise you on how smooth it will run. The old continental was a great engine! Worked on a lot of them 30-40 years ago. Thanks for making such great content! -Jim

[@fullcustomIan]

Hey Jim! Thank you! We definitely are best friends and happy it shines through! We waited a looong time for each other and married within a month! We are both excited for the jeep and have gotten some pretty amazing care packages for it already! We will share with you when we video the jeep this week! Thank you for watching! ~ Jamie

[@victoriavickers33]

I like most of the people watching are not going to chop a top off a car anytime soon and watch your videos for entertainment. Having said that your technical advice ring in my ears as I fiberglass and body fill my Dolphin sculpture. I am sure you will appreciate that your voice crosses over to artistic endeavours. Much enjoy your youtube channel

[@joefinnemore6792]

Firstly I must say you're an absolute master at your trade ian, as a weekend custom van builder, I know how difficult the work is, but you make it look effortless, a true master.. I first became fascinated with your work back in full custom garage days on Victor's projects, I.e the bubble top, the advertising van, and the fiberglass sports car, I was going through a rough time in my life back then, but I used your videos of inspiration to help me escape a very dark time, you're a true pleasure to watch ian, the layed back, calm demeanour brings relaxation and peace, whilst learning and watching my weekend passion of van building.. keep up the good work ian, God bless you.

[@stevetravels6160]

It's called CUSTOM for a reason 👍 There are no mis-cuts. It's all about having the skills to recover 💪 I've been learning a lot. Thank you for sharing.

I love watching you work, you show us how to do it. And you are mostly using tools and equipment thats not out of reach for most people

I’d like to see Ian give a tutorial on the settings on the welder including the various styles of welding.

[@williamwhaley6556]

Ian, I thoroughly enjoy all of your hard work. I watch all of your tv shows and was pleasantly surprised when you started your KZbin channel. I watch and follow a lot of channels where mechanics and fabricators make great projects come to life. The difference I see with you is you are an artist. It is truly remarkable how you can see and then create your vision. You don’t just bolt on or fabricate replacement parts, you create. That is a talent that is rare. I’m actually watching this episode on my tv while I type this comment. Love Jaimie’s (if spelling is not correct my apologies) camera work and her interaction with you. It is awesome the interest she shows in your efforts to create these unique vehicles. I look forward to watching as you finish products and seeing what your mind comes up with in the future. A fan and subscriber from SC. 🤙😎

Ian's knowledge and artistry are simply amazing. I am not a mechanically inclined person, but I cannot stop watching him. Also comes across as such such a genuine, patient and kind person. And interactions between Ian and Jamie on the videos are always so uplifting. It is such a joy to see these series of videos. Carry on, Ian and Jamie. You provide a lot of simple and enjoyable moments to followers like me. Take care and watch out for those metal edges, they can inflict pain.

[@johnha-mitchell-sd]

I can't agree more with the other commets about this being the very best car repair/fabrication show out there. I don't get all of the broadcast episodes but I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from your work wherever I find it. Thanks for doing these for us!

Ranching is still in my blood. I'm the grandchild of the very 1st veterinarian on my Island and he specialized in large bovine animals.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Thank you for the lessons in body work, welding and fabrication. That caddy is super cool in some ugly ass way. I bet between you and Victor it will turn out awesome. The music while Ian was welding reminded me of being in a video arcade back in the 1970s, brought a smile to my face.

Thank you for sharing Ian’s talents. Watched all his motor trend videos. Your KZbin channel is even better. So happy I found it.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hi Ian & Jamie, I just wanted to say a big thank you for putting me onto the EyeMuffs. A while back you showed a delivery you had just received and you mentioned they were made in Australia. Recently my wife saw you wearing them and wanted to get me a pair and when I told her they were made here she searched them out. Everything I want is always somewhere else so can you imagine my delight to find Jorge, the inventor, lived less than 10 minutes from our place. Not only that, but he delivered them to us. I really like them, especially the fact that I can still wear my prescription glasses under them and that the google part swings up out of the way but leaves the muffs in place. Because they do that I might have to buy a pair of the blue-tooth ones. I like that you’re moving on from the Chev as to see that to the finish would take another year of videos but we got to see probably the hardest part of the whole build, chopping the roof and getting it to look balanced. The rest is pretty straightforward work that plenty of other channels show. Two things though, it would be nice to see the Chev again once it’s finished or at least in primer and please finish Jamie’s Jeep through to the end. Cheers from Stuart, Canberra, Australia 🇦🇺

Ian your hot tank is great but try hooking a small pully to the end of your hoist and run a rope through it to raise and lower your lighter parts to get the fluid flowing through the passage ways and help wash off the loose impediments since you have no vibration method just a idea I have used in a 5 gallon bucket by just using a rope to raise and lower parts .hope you try it and really enjoy your fabrication skills though I thought I was a decent fabricator but you put me in my place make me seem to be 16 again and in auto shop I'm 74 and didn't believe I could learn much more!

Roof came out nice, looks like it needs a strip about 1 inch wide with a curve stretched or shrunk into it to match the boot line to the rear window. Then either use the edge of it for the body line, or fold a body line crease into it.
