over in oz ,when we want to stick glass / hair to aluminium we drill 1/8 holes in alu then make sure its grabbed . then we sand off inside alu glass .. it never lets go. im nit being smart. just sayin ,sir. 5 star n ty Jamie for great video/editing
You sir are unbelievable, so much gratitude for your gifts and your passion, your love truly shows in your work, i cant imagine how many people you inspire 🙏
That thing is looking Badass!!!!!! I love this bug, and those heart headlights really bring the "custom alive". When its paint time you should lay some heavy flake down. This bug is a whole new ballgame of customizing. I Love It!!!!!!
@thomasstevenson5367 so anyone that doesn't have the EXACT same ideas and likes as you is known as a free thinker unlike yourself. Do you know what that means in America? I bet you don't. 😂
Admittedly, I liked the bug-eye, but definitely the hearts take it to a new level, out of the bug feel and into an almost psychedelic vibe. I could almost see a dancing filament setting on the headlights, like the early 1970's 7-up can flicker bulb lamps. That bug is turning into a real mesmerizer.
I see the dream! Get better you two. I love that this style is carrying on. My grandfather was a traditional hot rod builder in cali and I always wanted to build something like this.
"Dare to be different" Is the way I live my life!!! Especially when it comes to my cars!!! Needs red LED lights around the harts like halos!!! LOVING IT ❤❤❤
I rarely comment and love your work and that bug is so cool. Pls don't trust your dream about heart headlights. That looks ugh! X3 to eternity and back. lol
yeah, bug is cool, but heart headlights? I agree that the 'baja bug' look of the current headlights isn't a good fit, but this plan is just plain hookie/16 year old mod. With Ian skills, I would make headlights that popup. Or hang from the fenders.
He is punking us. I have been waiting for the finish of this build. But if it goes to a tattooed woman in all black. Maybe it is ok? Not a straight male.
Ian what huge shop you have now! I’ve watched you from the beginning and you have expanded big time. I’m a 1970 bug owner and get a get lock out of your customized VW builds. Wishing you all the success on your new shop and RUclips channel. Thanks, Mike
Just a suggestion…when you do light up the hearts … led lights or a ribbon light around edges.. and brighter and larger led heartshaped main light with a smaller but even brighter Center lights for the high beams …. I don’t know if or how it can be done …. BUT if you put your heart into it ….lol. You can do ANYTHING.
Ian the vw is coming along can't wait for you to finish it. Follow your dreams and do your best at what you do. God bless keep smiling and have a blessed night
This is so cool what you do. Inspirational art. When you start doing things for you instead of everyone else, amazing happens. I see that on a lot of your past work where you're just left to your own devices. Cool happens. Love and Light to you and yours. 🙏❤🌹
When you were showing back of bug I got a flash of seeing a skull. The cutouts look like eye sockets maybe sweet and cute frontend and mean loud crazy backend
You're really a creative artist... I wasn't expecting the headlights but it puts a smile on my face! A build that is as fun to construct as it is to drive!
NEVER - have I seen heart headlights. Once again - just like the doors - you create a totally unique look. It’s a love it or hate it look !! That’s how you roll🤠👍🏽
Heart headlights are so funky bug! Great stuff! And as for the "christmas tree" tail lights. Don't have them pointing straight backwards, thats the boring route.
When I first saw those heart shape windows for headlights I thought that was cool but I also thought, the rounded corners of the heart you could put 2 small led headlights like in a bmw or dodge changer per heart making it a four headlight bug. I ain't seen anything like that! Keep up the dream baby, yeah!!!
Always loved the narrow light baja bug since I was a kid. And I've also had dreams about projects that I will eventually build (my inline skate quadcycle coming soon was straight from a dream). I dig the heart-windows-as-headlight look. And overall this show format is so cool to me. As a fabricator and restorer myself I find I'm learning so much more from getting to see more of your process. Keep it up you guys!
I 💜💜💜this bug!!!! It's another example of the reasons I've been such a huge Roussel fan for so long. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to have a shot at owning it🤞P.S. I see an exaggerated '35 ford front bumper with the nose and fenders contoured to match, kinda like a big smile.
You definitely called it right when you said it would look like some funky sunglasses. I was trying to imagine what it would look like if it had some rose colored lenses. Thanks for such an awesome build.
The new headlight design is brilliant. I love it! Just some quick feedback on the video -- the sound levels are going up and down more than usual. Not sure what went wrong.
I was camping in the woods this weekend and had a dream. This crazy fabricator named Ian customized my baywindow and it looked like a ufo complete with little creatures.
I love everything you do. I'm not feeling the heart headlights though. I think perhaps a tear-drop shape might be better. HOWEVER - It's your car and you can do whatever you want with it, and I'm sure it will look fantastic at the end. 😀
Just want to say hi to you all and hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I just wish I had some of your talent working with metal. Keep up the good work and keep on smiling God bless and have a blessed night
Someone buy this guy a $19 Harbor Freight 360 degree rotating laser level. 😂😂😂 Do u have an Amazon wish list? Love the content and would love to support the channel
Awesome job…love your skills..way better than mine..I would have just turned the love hearts into a pair car sunglasses…guess that piano player got me thinking..anyhow..have a Winfield!!!
Yea!!! I just found you guys here! ( u won us over on that other show...) and being a old car guy, ❤ what I seen.. cant wait to get cought up with things now.. good luck to you both on your new adventure ! from a fan from Indiana
wow , those headlight frames look so cool, i,m thinking japanese animi cartoons - powder puff girls - you gotta watch those tacos before bed ,its givin you dreams
It's good to see you in some well insulated digs, the Mojave desert can get stifling, those "headlights" are straight out of my teenage years, we were doing a lot of van conversions, like cutting the roof off of a Pontiac Vista cruiser. I wonder what Ferdinand Porsche would have said about those headlights. I think the points belong at the top,lol
Hi! We are excited to show you the next installment of the VW! This is a fun video that both Ian and Jamie filmed! See you all soon in the chat!
over in oz ,when we want to stick glass / hair to aluminium we drill 1/8 holes in alu then make sure its grabbed . then we sand off inside alu glass .. it never lets go. im nit being smart. just sayin ,sir. 5 star n ty Jamie for great video/editing
So what is the channels name from Ians other channel ?
Would've been awesome if mounted upside down 2 pair of boobies
And led driving lights on the fender would top it off nice
those heart grills are ass cheeks... youre usually on point with your wild visions but this one is bullocks..
You sir are unbelievable, so much gratitude for your gifts and your passion, your love truly shows in your work, i cant imagine how many people you inspire 🙏
Oh WOW... That's some 70's goodness, right there!!!!
That thing is looking Badass!!!!!! I love this bug, and those heart headlights really bring the "custom alive". When its paint time you should lay some heavy flake down. This bug is a whole new ballgame of customizing. I Love It!!!!!!
Thanks, we are really liking where this build is going as well!
Not true... why did you lie to this man? the heart grill is bullocks
@thomasstevenson5367 so anyone that doesn't have the EXACT same ideas and likes as you is known as a free thinker unlike yourself. Do you know what that means in America? I bet you don't. 😂
This is one crazy build. I love all the ideas. I realy hope it turnes out inzane.
Creativity and wonderful talent. Welded my first bumper for my tacoma. Thanks to you Ian.

You're being dunked. This has to be a joke.
I see the dream! Get better you two. I love that this style is carrying on. My grandfather was a traditional hot rod builder in cali and I always wanted to build something like this.
Tail Christmas Tree lights would look funky partially protruding through the top of the rear fenders. The bug, I li it alot
"Dare to be different" Is the way I live my life!!! Especially when it comes to my cars!!! Needs red LED lights around the harts like halos!!! LOVING IT
❤❤❤

Next, Ian will start putting eye lashes on all his builds. LOL
Gone to far
He needs to go back to the old shop at the ranch, like rocky going back to the old gym.
The creativity never ends! Always blown away. Cool to see real work right in front of my eyes. Thanks!

Nós brasileiros te amamos Yan ❤
Na trazeira voce poderia fazer uns difuzores e um aerofolio tipo a la ferrari ,na dianteira um split ia ficar insano
This is so cool what you do. Inspirational art. When you start doing things for you instead of everyone else, amazing happens. I see that on a lot of your past work where you're just left to your own devices. Cool happens. Love and Light to you and yours. 🙏❤🌹
See , this is your artistic touch. I love it.The front looks cute and like you just want to give it a hug. Very happy. Certainly a show stopper.
When you were showing back of bug I got a flash of seeing a skull. The cutouts look like eye sockets maybe sweet and cute frontend and mean loud crazy backend
Ian you are so remarkable, who would have thought this would work? Ian would have and brother this is so boss I So digging it!
You're really a creative artist... I wasn't expecting the headlights but it puts a smile on my face! A build that is as fun to construct as it is to drive!
Love your unorthodox approach to your projects.
im sooo glad i found this on youtube and your done with the tv show!!!! This is AWESOME!!!
C’est magnifique bravo 👍👍👍👍👍
Love that idea. You could go so many ways with that look & this one is a 10 outa 10 in My book. 🤘😎
Only you can turn those hearts into headlights. That's why I dig your channel and wish you all the best.
A first for my eyes…Heart shaped headlights. Love it Ianand Jamie.
Nothing cooler than hart shaped bubble window,s becomes headlight covers 😅😍
NEVER - have I seen heart headlights.
Once again - just like the doors - you create a totally unique look.
It’s a love it or hate it look !!
That’s how you roll🤠👍🏽
Awesome job thinking out of the box. Dare to be different! Good job it is like no other but we'll executed, nice.
Ian, you did such a good job with this video, even without Jamie filming 👏
Totally get your vibe for the headlights.
Didn't see that coming, but I really like them as headlights instead of placing them in the upper rear sides on the top... Custom Cool...
Jamie's doing a great job filming your show as good as the TV people And I bet that Pisses the TV peopleTV people off to no end😊
Love the "LOVE Bug" Style on the front! I thought you should of use'd for the split window but....I Like your vision!!
Heart headlights are so funky bug! Great stuff!
And as for the "christmas tree" tail lights. Don't have them pointing straight backwards, thats the boring route.
Diggin the rear fender concept and the heart covers!
I always think you’re gonna take things too far, but when it’s all done you always hit it out of the park!😊
Interesting idea. It looks great, and I can't wait to see what you do with the taillights ! 😊
Ian, you are a "Wild Man" making "Wild" creations. Great Job!
See!? This is why I know it's going to be a treat every time a new post comes out. Who saw heart shaped headlights coming? NOBODY! Well done!
Thanks for the kitty hair sticker demo for attaching the metal pieces to the fiberglass. I’ll borrow that trick. ❤️😎
Love you guys❤
And those headlights on the bug looks great,
It looks Alien !
When I first saw those heart shape windows for headlights I thought that was cool but I also thought, the rounded corners of the heart you could put 2 small led headlights like in a bmw or dodge changer per heart making it a four headlight bug. I ain't seen anything like that!
Keep up the dream baby, yeah!!!
I don’t hate the heart head lights, surprisingly I kinda dig them.

And overall this show format is so cool to me. As a fabricator and restorer myself I find I'm learning so much more from getting to see more of your process. Keep it up you guys!
That thing's turning out pretty cool man I can't wait to see you finished

Love the way you come up with your Ideas?
You take it back to the old school
If it's different it's not the same. I like different. Very cool idea for headlights 👌 🇨🇦 👍
Greetings from South Carolina...the lights are...Cool Man...Van- Cool.✌️👍

Even at this stage Ian, the car puts a smile on my face.
Very nicely done Sir, very creative use of those windows.
Can’t wait for your next video Ian and Jamie. Very interesting 🧐 ❤
Love the idea of the headlights and tail lights
I was camping in the woods this weekend and had a dream. This crazy fabricator named Ian customized my baywindow and it looked like a ufo complete with little creatures.
Sounds like you were having a wild time! 👽
Maybe it’s just my tv but it seems like I really have to crank up the volume on your channel? Love the bug!!
I love everything you do. I'm not feeling the heart headlights though. I think perhaps a tear-drop shape might be better.
HOWEVER - It's your car and you can do whatever you want with it, and I'm sure it will look fantastic at the end. 😀
Hey from Missouri with a little snow today.
Why not!! Its crazy as it is and those "heartlights" makes it crazyiestier!!!
Just want to say hi to you all and hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I just wish I had some of your talent working with metal. Keep up the good work and keep on smiling God bless and have a blessed night
Wishing you a speedy feel better soon! Love the dream!❤

Love the head lights.
The heart headlights fits pachari. Perfectly
Gives me flash backs to my wild days
Somewhere there is a 70 Chevy van missing its rear panel windows. Haha. Looks awesome!
The heart portal headlights look cool.
I think he should fabricate something like the Zephyr head light on the bug and toss the hearts.
Awesome job…love your skills..way better than mine..I would have just turned the love hearts into a pair car sunglasses…guess that piano player got me thinking..anyhow..have a Winfield!!!
Great video, really enjoy your work, thanks .
Get well soon and thanks for another installment of the bug.

I love custom bugs. I was hooked on that GSXR VW video from a few years ago but I have a feeling that when this is done....
Love the hearts !
Absolutely Fantastic...
You know what, you could also squeeze in a road or fog light in the pointed area of the heart... I'm digging it!!!
It's good to see you in some well insulated digs, the Mojave desert can get stifling, those "headlights" are straight out of my teenage years, we were doing a lot of van conversions, like cutting the roof off of a Pontiac Vista cruiser. I wonder what Ferdinand Porsche would have said about those headlights. I think the points belong at the top,lol
Those taillights are awesome
So much for a family channel, nothing but heart ons and pointy red things
Thank you for sharing. 🛸👽👍
Nothing cooler than hart bubble shaped windows ❤
Hello Ian this is Fred the one that sent you to bubble windows awesome bro I like it
Thanks Fred!!!!
