The episode I remember most is when Ryan took Ish to an optometrist because Ish had screwed up some colors. When they were there, Ish learns that he is color-blind.
Still though without a such hard-worker interior guy like Ish who not did just upholstery inside but also helping out with many other things even prepping cars for paint he was a strong one for example by comparison Big Dane even though was as well from the start in the crew he was more like a bodyguard instead of a hard-worker..
Hahaha
That's worrying and sad.
lmao i remember that! it was about green and orange going together haha
@@bobfg3130 No, it was fine. Ish got glasses to help him out.
Ish jimenez was the best and coolest by far
church!
I agree ☝🏽
Simon.
Ishhh was tight.
But his work was wack
Good to see Ish is still at it.
Same here!
West coast customs cool show👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Ish was and still the best member. The guy is a master and his craft hands down.
I grew up in the the world of auto upholstery and restoration and customizing cars. I think Ish has more talent than the rest of these guys because he always came through. He would do his own design off of the art work. From his head to the bench an in the car.
x2 where you at Ish i need some some done Bud
Always hoped ish would set up his own business,a very likeable & talented guy 👍
I have read some reviews of West Coast Customs and a very interesting review that I saw was when a person found Mac & Cheese in the car after the guys at West Coast Customs were taking about a year or 2 to customize and he said that if the Mac & Cheese was nice and warm, he would let it slide but it was cold and stale and he decided to never come back to West Coast Customs ever again
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have respect for Kenny and Ish for opening up their own businesses, to learn that Ryan wasn’t paying his employees correctly is just wrong. If I was one of the employees I would take him to court and sue him for all the money that he hadn’t paid me
Agreed... If that is true its despicable.. always pay well or you're paying people to steal from you. It's very short sighted. Offer a good basic and a profit share for loyal staff who are your best promoters if you show them respect
@@iHelpSolveIt i just knew that now fromt hat video i came here to amke a cvomment how i really dislike this guy haha so i was right my gut feeling was right and i always felt he is a dick to his workers and over working them,,,
How to get rich… work your employees to death and don’t pay them correctly..
Did you watch the video? He had to pay 6 figures to 11 different employees.
Why did the video have Ryan working at Mcdonalds?
Bait click
To make me click on that video 🤦
@@katieeee.Ann22 Shit worked 😂
Because anyone dumb enough to want to know what happened to him is dumb enough to click on the thumbnail. Myself included.
@@fightmilk8613 Hell yeah they got me good 😂 i was like damn i know Ryan os not doing that bad
Ish Jimenez made me watch episode after episode. Interiors is where it’s at.
Wait. Growing up Mexican in South Central leaves you ONE option, to join a gang?! Really? Man that’s some real nonsense.
Sounds about right.
Yea I guess everyone of Hispanic decent from south central LA is a gang member.
It's an exaggeration. Everyone who has lived in a bad area tend to create stories to make themselves seem more hardcore than they really are.
@@Mr-Clark sounds like you’re from the suburbs, listening to other kids from the suburbs trying to brag like they are hardcore
Living in the ghetto is real stuff, traumas, constantly fearing for your life/safety, friends dying from violence/drugs, family dying from violence/drugs , house getting broken into, having a random gang banger put a gun to your face for being in the wrong area, getting randomly assaulted by just standing in front of a 7/11, helicopters regularly flying over your house almost daily, helicopters circling over your house for hours middle of night hearing them talk on the speaker to remain inside and lock your doors, all of this is what my eyes have seen. I have no doubt other people have experienced some of this, all of this, or even more
I left to a upper middle class area and I still felt
unsafe and traumatized well into my teens
@@DCamp1711 I lived near USC and Koreatown. Gang territory. Where there gang problems, yup. Crime, yup. I survived. Don’t associate with them and they left you alone.
You sound like a guy I knew. Sat in his home playing Nintendo all day long and never had a hard encounter. But when at parties, you talked like you were Rambo and how you had to fight to survive the jungle. Nobody is impressed with such made up stories. Maybe dumb white liberals.
I had a Chrysler 300 and had an appointment to get a sound system installed. I paid $300 deposit to reserve the date and when the day came up I drove out there super excited with a buddy of mine. I was told I was "late" by 30 minutes which is bull since I was there at 11am and my appointment was at 12pm. I was at the front office filling out paperwork. I was told they wouldn't refund my deposit and when I tols them fine I'll take my car back they said they had already started working on it by removing the seats and dash. So I let them finish. I paid $900 and they cracked the trim around the stereo head unit and when I confronted them they said I filled out paperwork saying they weren't liable for any damages that happened to my car.
Damn really!!!
Very funny 😅😅
Honestly, by and large, their builds are TERRIBLE. They're TV Props. I've seen several of their old cars at auctions like Barrett-Jackson, and in person, the paint and panel fitment is so beyond bad.
Oh I wish I could see the hack work in person..dumb rich celebs have no idea what quality fit and finish is .
Wow. Interesting.
as a motor trimmer Ish is the man, poor guy had to do some terrible interiors for the business, and WCC would have def failed without Big Dane, Mad Mike and X to tha Z
Ish has mad skill as a upholstery guy myself I appreciate his skill
Always liked this show but knowing now what he did to the people who worked there ,not cool
what he do?
But Ish is by far my favorite.
Not just from his skill ability talent and were he is today.
But were he came from. Hats off to the man.
Major success doesn't just happen without working hard to make it happen. That being said, it's sad to hear he maybe didn't treat employees with respect and holding out on their pay should never happen to anyone. They work hard and deserve to be paid without a court battle.
I've had a couple jobs in my life not pay me on time. The first job that did it. I let him slide and they paid me a couple days later then it happened again so I quit The next job it happened. I quit as soon as I didn't get paid that day and it happened one more time and same thing. I quit immediately f*** that I don't work for free
Glad they mentioned "Touche" by name. He was in the early days of Pimp My Ride.
Not to be confused with "Douche" Richard Rawlings. 😒
As with most car custom shows, the network made them have drama and forced short deadlines. Most have parted ways with the TV simply because it caused them to sacrifice quality. Anyone who restore or build cars know it's not a 1 - 4 week time frame.
It why Bitchin Rides is a successful car show and builder because it takes them over a year or more to complete a car.
I enjoyed watching some of their shows and picked up tips that they did in the construction of a custom car.
Good to see ish still in the game... He was always the best tradesman there hands down
Ish was the top dog on that crew
ish you da man
Hell yeah Ish was the back bone of West Coast Customs. Ish is an amazing artist with his work and if you ask me Ryan rod his tail to get wherer he is, the work Ish did on the videos is what made west Coast Customs and he deserves way way more credit then Ryan I mean I'm super happy he is still going with his own thing but I think he should be in the spotlight with a $20,000,000.00 net worth hey Ryan was a decent business man and let's face it that's why he did so well but the people like Ish and most importantly Ish himself made that show and is why we watched it!
Much love for all them west coast customs
Isn’t the shop in burbank? My old office was across the street from it lol
🧢
He always seemed fake. Couldnt even turn a wrench.
but the dude could make a dollar out of 15 cents👏🏽
Ryan deserves his fame, he worked for it because nothing is free. Ish I would say is the soul of wcc because the interior of a vehicle is home to the driver. Ish's work has never been criticized for falling apart like the rest of the work done at the shop.
I rather liked WCC but hearing that Ryan mistreated, cheated and abused his employees, as well as crappy work on less prestigious people’s cars shows me that he has no code of ethics. It’s all about the Benjamin’s! Reprehensible dude, not cool! I’m glad to hear that Ish and Kenny are doing well, they were talented guys that deserve success. I’m unclear; does WCC still exist? Or was justice done and he was forced to close? He reminds me, after learning about how he overworked and underpaid and generally didn’t appreciate the people who did the work, of the leader of another show “Fast & Loud” Richard Rawlings. Another jerk who got rich in the backs of his talented employees. I no longer watch either show. I’m impressed with and watch two shows where this doesn’t happen: Counting Cars and Bitchin Rides. Danny and Dave always give props and credit to their teams, as it should be. Quality guys that turn out quality products. I’m in, thanks and thanks Tuna No Crust for telling the real deal stories! 👏😝👍😎
So he moved from Corona Ca. and is now somewhere in Los Angeles Ca. But it shows Ryan on the cover of the video working at a fast food place... Ryan has an arrogant look on his face like his SHIT don't stink and he has said on camera that they build the best cars on the planet as if they are the best shop out there when you have Chip Foose Counts Customs Dave Kindig of Bitchen Rides that do way better work and treat their employees better than Ryan does... There are lawsuits and horror stories of people taking their cars to West Coast Customs on their website if they are not taken down... You need to do your homework before going to any shop and not rely on what you see on TV... Ryan's shop closed in
Corona Ca. because of how he ran his business and got over his head and opened a business overseas that closed shortly after it opened... A business that failed badly... They try and make deadlines they can't meet. Also speaking of West Coast Customs saying they do the best work of anyone on their TV show when it starts Ryan says that they build the best Custom cars on the planet... Well if that is true I was at the Anaheim Auto Show and I saw a custom painted car they did that has a very elaborate paint job that had flaws in it where the paint job had ships in the paint that I saw right away and you mean to tell me your the best but you had a car with flaws in it and you let it leave your shop like that? That is
something you can't touch up or blend in... Ryan is all about the money... If Ryan is so good then why does that car have flaws in the paint? Stay away from Wst Coast Custom's they suck just like Unique Whips in Newyork who put things on your car you never asked for... They are now closed and they have a new shop but only cater to celebrities, not your average Joe and even they had issues too. There is nothing worse than SHIT work so do your homework. Those are just my thoughts......
Rawlings is a grade A douchebag! I can see why Collins moved on from that nightmare. Like Collins, I can definitely see Ish doing very well for himself. Ish is the best interior tech on the planet. I'd like to see him do the interior on my '05 Jeep TJ Rocky Mtn. 😎
Bitching rides builds some bad Azz automobiles.i think the future liner hands down was thee best build ever
@@nydrell1969 I agree. The Future liner was remarkable. Remember the 60 Buick coupe in blue? Heck I can’t pick just one! They’re all good! Thanks bud 🙏👍😎
Full Metal Custom, Kindig-it Designs and Iron Resurrections are good ones to watch, really good and look after all their customers, even the small jobs. But I stopped watching WCC because Ryan always irked me, long before any shit came out. He annoyed me with his BS time builds and pressure on the guys.
All of those Cars/Motorcycle restoration build shows always implode
Both Ish and Sue from fast and loud have car upholstery companies called ASM
ISH WAS AND STILL IS MY FAVORITE FROM THAT SHOW!!! ALL SHOPS NEED A ISH!!!! He gets down!!!!
the fact youre saying his sons made something without their dads help is HILARIOUS!!!!
I can't believe there was no mention on Mad Mike. Great update otherwise.
Mad Mike moved to Galpin Auto Sports when Pimp my Ride moved there for season 4 and 5. He is still there and was on their new show Car Kings.
He evolved into Mike Epps
@@JDMHaze haha
I miss the old crew in west coast customs..
I remember 2 American dudes buying super exotic cars and they had a ex navy seal as a body guard going to places in South America buying these cars there was one episode where there money was stolen I don't suppose anyone remembers the name of the show
ish wàs da man at west coast customs he was so cool at doin his job he was the stand out to me he made the show, Ish you da Man bro.... da man
For lasagna pasta am I supposed to boil it first before I lay it with like spaghetti’s mince stuff
Last year I contacted them about doing a small build on my Bentley. Took them 8 months to respond. haha. I was like, bruh.
I like the “self made” tat Ryan has but started from a loan with his grandpa!!! So not self made!
Started binging WCC.
Wondered where the old employees are looked online there not a lot about anyone other than the same people mentioned.
And yes Ish, was and is amazing at his craft. Read up on his interviews and he seems like the most down yo earth person. Truly living his life. Wish him and his family nothing but happiness
My Favorite was Ish Jimenez!! Cool Brother!!
I thought Pimp My Ride was stupid, they put stupid gadgets in cars that had something to do with the car owner's hobby, or work. West Coast Customs dealt with too many celebrities and I found it boring. There was another show from Long Island New York that also seemed to do only celebrity cars and the owner of the company had a personality that seemed like bad acting. The current Motortrend lineup is pretty good.
Only show I could actually stick with is Overhaulin
Yeah, like the chocolate fountain or fish tank. Or dancing tv in trunk.
@@urbansk8r231 Yeah, it was just ridiculous to have talented mechanics doing stupid shit like that. I wouldn't want any of that hoaky shit in my car.
I heard that they didn't actually fix the problems with the vehicles. Also they planted stuff in vehicles like they made out some one had sweet tooth by planting candy wrappers in the car. Remember the cotton candy machine in trunk.
Ish and mosco Forsure!
Ryan definitely road that clout from xzibit for the longest
I think the all deserve the success. Because they put in the hours and created really cool high in builds.
If someone thinks running a shop and showing a profit is easy , then step up and try it. I bought my parents out in 1990 for 5 k ran that truck accessories shop that built highin aluminum truck beds sold out in 2022 because the government spoiled the workforce. But I'm am blessed now I make high in furniture , and flip houses
YO! They got my man Ryan working the drive thru @McDonald's??? He had like 4 cars that were worth 300K a piece. I know cars value depreciate tremendously and things happen but Damn! Even if they were all leased he had to put away some money.
I’ve met Ryan on a couple occasions, before he got his fame and had a shop in Orange County he would send his cellular customers to the shop I worked for. Back then cell phones were installed inside cars 👍 he was okay. Most recently I bumped into him and his family at IPIC movie theaters in Pasadena. He was polite and pleasant but I didn’t speak to him too long. I enjoyed the show and yeah there business is like every struggling place. Not perfect but hey its the world we live in.
I wonder how many people get the "Tuna no crust" reference.
I remember taking a picture with Ryan at Disneyland when I was like 10 😆
When Ryan had his own show I expected it to be like "Me, Myself and Ryan" :D
Great show and great people
If you're not about the money why be in business. The problem is when you don't add value...can't just be about the money. If you're selling crap and getting rich because of you're brand then good for you as long as it's sustainable which usually doesn't go hand in hand. Unfortunately, it's the guy with the vision and balls to take the risk who has the opportunity to be rewarded. The guys doing great work behind the scenes get a paycheck and maybe a pat on the back.
You never truly know a person until you work for them. I’ve experienced it many times. You think someone is the nicest person ever then find out they total A holes. I’ve also worked for people that were opposite. I didn’t think much of them and turned out really good people. You just never know.
Ish Jimenez was best cools dud there
Respect to Ish. He did some out of the box s7ht. True artist
Ryan came across as one truly creepy individual from day one. He craved fame and fortune, and clearly embraced anything and everything that would bring it to him ... mostly by means of the talent and plain hard work of others - like Ish and Kenny.
That Ryan didn't pay his workers hourly, with overtime pay included where appropriate is unconscionable! I wish every single one of the West Coast Custom crew everything of the best. Ryan not so much. Any success West Coast Customs enjoyed was because of the crew ... IN SPITE OF Ryan.
Tuna no crust is such a good name, bravo
Lmao the thumb nail 😆
Ish was a smooth mother, talented dude
West Coast Customs isn't that famous anymore.
Good the see at least some of the crew have made it on their own.
I think Ish was one of the best. If not the best. Would have liked to see where Ryan is now but thanks for the video! Changed my whole view of the show!
U coupd see in the show most the employees were exhausted an could see with the interactions they hated him… also when they force build like that to be done fast of course its bs shotty work… his son is a fkn dork too.. little rich boy trying to portray a gangster
Ish was the most talented. I remember on the Nintendo Mario Cart episode Ish says “It’sa me Mario” like Mario. It cracked me up.
Why not mention Kenny Pfitzer worked for Overhaulin' too with Chip Foose?
If anyone is interested background music is: Kontekst - Buddha
That thumbnail 🤣
Yeah...not quite what it seems. 15 employees claimed they were underpaid for overtime over a span of 6 years. The total was $148,761.54.
It wasn't Ryan scamming people but a formula used to calculate overtime by the payroll system that was not updated. It was 3% off.
When Ish discovered it he told everyone and they all charged in like a pack of wankers accusing Ryan of ripping them off. It got heated as Ryan didn't know wtf was going on and he ended up firing people as well as Ish & 2 others quitting. Police were called to the scene with no arrests made but 4 people escorted off site.
They sued him for 5 million but the judge found no fraud and only required WCC to pay the adjusted rate of overtime to each employee.
He lost but admitted he as the owner should be ensured all the systems and software and state laws were up to date.
They were photographed DURING the covid lock down at West Coast Customs having a beer together....hmmm.
odd for a guy who cheated you? Unless he didnt and it was a genuine mistake.
Stupid RUclips always full of it.
That said Ryan as a human is a bit of jerk lol.
A real man learns from his mistakes and rises again..
What ever happened to “Mad Mike” that did all the electronics?
The thumbnail🤣🤣
Weast coast customs is one of the best tv shows on Netflix
Thumb nail has me rollinggg😂😂🤧
All employees worked salary. That’s bad on the kind of career they chose. Should have been paid hourly
Most auto body are paid hourly. Had nothing to do with career choice
Ish ,and Ryan both are talented some of the best
Kenny Pfister does a few builds with DDE now.
I loved watching these guys growing up, it's really upsetting to hear he wasn't paying his employees fairly
Ryan could give everyone a mil for all of the shit they did for him. Shame on you Ryan
bad bunny big rig was the best west coast customer vehicle made ever!!
Ish is dope!!! I’d take my car to em to get upholstered
Ryan was too scared to fire big Dane so he kept him around
Big Dane's turds are bigger than Ryan.
So the thumbnail has nothing to do with the video then
what a ploy to get people to view it hey I feel as though I have been conned
Ish: these flowers too pretty man
Being Mexican or Latino in LA does not mean you only have one option. And for this, I find this guy to be racist.
Really like ish Jimenez attitude in this series
Ryan would have got along great with Boyd Coddington. Both were asses toward employees. Empathy meant nothing to them.
So he had all his tattoos removed to work at McDonald’s?
lmao
Yh so ppl wont recognise🤣
So he’s serving Fast Food? Really?
*Bro those old McDonald's cups bring back nostalgia.*
Ryan had the money. He hired people good at the trade. Acted like he was the talent
Incredible Hollywood 😂
The guy at the mcdonald's window 😂😂😂
4:16 start of the topic
He was the man.... not no more.
Ya I got to give it to ish he was talented at his work
At the end of the day, WCC was a buisness. Yes, it’s a plus if friendships r made, but it’s still a buisness. It’s a harsh reality to split the two n still tryna keep the buisness afloat
What he do ?
ISH got my vote 100%
Please process your voice over vocals with a De Esser, my laptop speakers would greatly appreciate it
I always wondered what Ish-es salary was. And it was so obvious in “Inside WC Customs”, the workers where working 24/7 for a 40-hour weekly salary….
Hey do “MY RIDE RULES” from the speed channel
I still remember when they claimed that Anderson Silva was the Heavyweight Champion. 🤦♂️
