I can't believe it, you are the biggest inspiration for me and for many people around the world, I am a small designer,form brazil and mechanic specializing in air cooled and I really admire your genius head, fantastic and unique ideas for air cooled

[@garagehot813]

Thanks YOU

[@mikl911]

This has quickly become my favourite KZbin channel. Between Ian's skills, humour, the mix of projects and the interactions with Jamie new videos can’t come fast enough. Thanks for sharing.

[@65cj55]

Yes, it's so interesting fun & relaxing to watch..

[@dave-uf8ir]

Can't stop watching my self excellent

[@kevinperry9190]

Same here.

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Mine to and they just keep getting better. 😊

[@redneck4life127]

I agree with everyone that likes ian and his work,and for Jamie doing the recording..I love watching ian and how he does things,taught me alot so far and the right way too..keep the videos coming don't ever stop lol...but seriously another reason I love this channel too is ian works on all different things and does what it takes to make each thing he works on a master piece art object!! Hats off to you IAN BUDDY!

[@HarryCane305]

I think this is why Ian is Sooo popular. He's got the shade-tree roots we all have, but has the mad skillz we all wish we had. kudos to the mad welder/builder/back yard engineer!

[@sprintcarsandguitars959]

you mean i don't have those mad skills?🤔

[@steveambrose5580]

Ian is the only person i get giving a tutorial, everyone else just goes through the motions. Explaining having a feel for machinery and tools also prevents a lot of injuries by knowing how each action needs a reaction.👍

[@shawnsparks-qk7sf]

I luv to see Ian grin when he talks about his old tools. That’s what makes it “ Old School” for me.

[@ronjenkins8529]

This is the best car series. I've been saying for years, "I wish there was a series just showing the build, that was 20 hours instead of 1 or 2 and that didn't have bullshit." This is exactly that! Thank you! If you set up a Patreon account, I'd be happy to subscribe!

[@davehansonsr.4587]

this is going to be the best looking VW that I have ever seen.

[@fredcarrano]

Another great lesson while watching Ian perform his magic making those running boards. 👍

[@wildwilley1912]

Thank you so much!! You and your wife rock it!! And I am grateful for ALL the content!!

That long bar with the steel wheels on it is called a Johnson Bar. We used to use them all the time moving heavy equipment. 👍👍 The bug is looking great.

Steam train engines also have a “Johnson Bar” for adjusting steam piston cycles I believe

[@65cj55]

@@edfranklin2 I love Steam Trains, it amazes me how all that iron-ore was mined from the ground and turned into a machine like them..

I've always loved watching your work ! I'm absolutely "hooked" on your channel ! So exciting to see the your next creation ! God bless!

[@joemac8998]

Another great update camera work is right in the thick of it nice one from an Irish fan.

[@adamcurran8570]

I love your work. That running board is like Lebowski's rug. It really ties it all together, man.

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

I never want your videos to end... ! I have been finding my projects are better and more fun adopting your methods. The envisioning tool is one pivotal technique to fast track a concept. Going fast and loose is so much more fun too! Love this build, the progress is a massive transformation with the fender/running board combo. The HORN SOUND on the trolley jack was a perfect audio envisaged edit tool! 😂🎉❤😊

[@fullcustomIan]

Glad you like them!

[@paulricelli5520]

🟥 That looong Handel device is called a Johnson Bar. Yep

[@dave-uf8ir]

Ian looks like home their is a methad so I hear my shop same way excellent guys 😊

[@DenCon143]

Ian is a lot like many of us who improvise and make do with what we can and not necessarily how a textbook might instruct. I enjoy these casual visits into a workshop, as if I'm just a visitor who dropped by to just chat and watch. There are few makeover shows like this anymore that go into slow detail to show step by step how to fabricate. Instead of hours of slowly fabricating, other shows will condense this into just a one-hour show from start to finish.

[@arthurdeich5753]

Love your show,I watch all the time,and i really like VW's

[@stephengorham2195]

Running board asceticism truly a swift adventure..good job

[@BackToTheFutura]

Ian is the man! Again, another great video! I only wish I lived closer to you. Plus the place that you are at looks amazing. Thank you once again for the hours of entertainment and the tips and tricks I pick up every time I watch you. I own a Hot Rod version of the 1966 Batmobile. It's sitting on a 1977 Lincoln Continental frame and power plant. The motor is tired and needs updating. Man do I wish I could get you to do your magic on it so I could use it more than I do now. For now I'll dream but hopefully some day I could have your expertise and talent recreate my car for me. Motor, Paint and body mods, especially the body mods!.

[@elsdp-4560]

Big love for this VW Kustom ❤️, reminds me of: "32 Ford Lil" coffin showcar and The Demon 1970 Hotwheel based on same

As usual, you take a pile of envisioning… Ooooht wala… Looking pretty awesome guys….!!!

[@dougkubash8673]

Great video as always! The bug is coming right together!!

[@cwc5531]

Great progress, working on different cars keeps it interesting. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@jimgillett1184]

Running board looks great! I've been picturing how sweet it was going to look with it tied in. I've been a sheet metal worker for 34 years and I was thinking when you traced where the rear fender came down that I would have just cut it a inch and a half longer and bent it up inside the fender and riveted it to the fender. There for the bracket you made would have been part of the whole thing. But it works either way lol Love it I can picture the finish look and it's going to be sweet

[@RootBeerRacer]

My CDO was crying out to me with that rear fender strap. The fender is so smooth and pretty, i was hoping that strap would be on the underside of the running board with hardware on the tire side of the fender. Like a 53-56 Ford pickup. I'm anticipating the door opening process. So fun to follow along at home. Your building of stuff is like watching a calm Bob Ross painting come together.

[@stephenbanks1007]

I'm with you on the door. Is this an oversight? How will it open? 6:57

[@darellsunderlin4670]

I gotta say , that is looking SWEET !!!!!! 😊 that anvil is history just because of where it came from !!!! Awesome 😮

[@ekosaputro3580]

Very good. part 31 pleased ! 🙏🤩

[@dougbowen4685]

Definitely the coolest shop teacher ever. I’ve proven repeatedly that I can’t do even the most basic woodworking. I want to try my hand at some basic metal work. Just because. You do a great job of showing and explaining the whys as you go. It makes me think if I put the time and effort into it, I can make what I want.

[@jamesrankin9833]

Floor boards Yes! Love it! Good stuff!!

[@renash1815]

I love watching everything you do here. The bug is looking great and the other projects are wonderful. Way to go both of you.

[@markrobertson9015]

The tool you pulled out to lower the car is called a J- bar. It's purpose was used for cases in grocery stores to lift and bump them in place it was also used to pick up gondolas those are the stands of shelving that groceries are placed on we to put rollers under them to move them out of the way to lay tile in the stores This way you don't have to unload them. Pretty cool tool and now it's job has changed to lift cars up to get the jack out.nice running boards Take care.

I am blown away by all your projects. The work you do is amazing. In the late 60’s and 70’s we used to tear it up down on the desert. We had a second home in a little town called Wrightwood. Skied in the winter and ripped it up on the desert in the summertime. I could tell you some stories. Well keep on keeping the dream alive.

[@fullcustomIan]

Love it! The desert is a very special place.

[@lewiskemp5893]

Ian the best thing I can say as an Old school bodyman is the way you break down and explain in easy terms . I can do the work after watching you but it's Great how you explain where most people understand. Btw I love the bug. Reminds me of my first attempt at bondo in the 80s Utter Fail 😂😂😂😂

Liking the running boards the bug is taking shape. I've only been to one Big Bug car show year's ago in Vallejo California fair grounds and I didn't know that you can build a kustom bug to look many different ways styles year's makes. There was so much to see it was hard to take in. I took a few picture's. I was driving my little 1968 4 door Toyota carona I built at the time I had it parked out side the show but I seen people checking out my ride. I didn't say anything I just know I must have did a good job by people checking out my little car.

[@charleslawrence7194]

This is really becoming a favorite VW project. I hope younger guys are following you, otherwise this might become a lost art. Your creative techniques area amazing.
