- Full Custom Ian Roussel Rebuilds The Rear Window And Top Section Of A 1940-41 Chevy Chop Top 🤓
We had a wind event out here in the wild Mojave Desert, and it ruined, or almost ruined one of Ian's projects, a 1941 Chevy Coupe body. The roof was beyond reparable, but Dave from @RileyRestorations came to the rescue with a 1940 Chevy Sedan. The rest is chop top history in the garage in Mojave.
Ian is getting in the metal work on this beauty, and is creating art and showing just how involved metal working and sculpting can be

We appreciate all the comments! Happy New Year!
I just saw the alien eyed rear windows for the VW. Super! Does this mean it will be 'Alien Green' painted when done??
Happy new year to you two as well have a great year.
A Happy New Year Ian and Jamie stay safe and God Bless from Australia 🦘
Happy New Year!!!

I would like to complement Jamie on her filming. In particular the muting of the sound during heavy grinding, the asking of questions and your interaction with Ian is really outstanding. The production of each new episode is getting better and better. I especially like how the both of you are opening up with a little more humor and banter. It is nice to see artists at work. Happy New Year and 100,000 subscribers is just around the corner!
Jamie asks the questions that someone who doesn't know needs to ask. Between the both of you, this video becomes a learning experience for ANYONE. Ian and Jamie you guys are fantastic together!!!! Jamie you are doing a fantastic job with your hubby!!!!
Aloha from Hawai'i,
Mama Leigh
Yep, I’ll 3rd that. G-day from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you everyone!
15:47 Ian: "I'm definitely not going to do that" 20:23 Ian: "we're going to cut straight through here" 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Consider the split rear window style from early bugs.
And the front too
Bello in Chula Vista did that with a similar car. The split window hung on the wall for years. One day he turned around at the wall and said "I got an idea". It looked sweet on the car. Broke up the width of the back.
@@GeneralSulla I remember that.
Ian makes this job look like it's a walk in the park. He knows so much about everything. His designs are absolutely gems. He also seems to be so nice like always!
Something I have found helpful when laying out curved lines, is the magnetic strip from inside a refrigerator door seal. Lay it out, adjust as necessary, trace with sharpie, remove strip then cut/grind/ whatever. Your work always inspires me to try something out of my norm.
That roofline and rear window look great. Like it was meant to be. Always waiting on more from Dr Ian and Chief Nurse Jamie
Great fabrication, Ian. Jamie, you’re doing a fantastic job at directing and making sure you get a good, clean, and direct shot of what Ian is looking at.
Unbelievable! Love how Ian just knows how that steel is going to work. Such great vision.
Fantastic work as usual. It looks easy to fabricate but you’re the professional and expert. You are the man Ian!
Thank you very much!
Watching this I had recollections of my dad welding the end of his clamp to the two pieces!
I like the way Ian thinks . He's amazing. And Jamie is awesome she's doing a great job 👍 love it
Well, that roof profile has the perfect flow to it; car is looking better and better each episode.
Looking good. We are learning as you explain your method.
Jamie indicated that you would need to widen the old roof section to make it work. She is learning what you are doing and anticipating your next move. Well done.
Ian, I like the way you change it up with your videos. You're doing a little work to each vehicle. It gives the show excitement.
Thank you!
I think we are all satisfied, it’s looking great. Great work both of you. And a good tease with the V dub.
Love watching all of your projects stay motivated. I hope you both have a safe and happy new year 🎉
Nice work. Loving the new shows on motor trend. Wishing you both the best in this coming year.
You are a great metal worker, you see lines that aren’t even there your 5 steps ahead of the game. Keep up the great work.
I love this show
Thanks you guys
You build your vehicles just like I use to do to my custom model cars when I was younger. Great stuff, Ian...
Hi Ian and Jamie. Love your show, The body work you do is pure art, that is sitting back to visualize an end result and make it work and I take my hat off to you. It is a fortunate person who can earn a living from what they love doing and are good at it. I am an Aussie product of the 50's and grew up around cars of this ilk and people who modified them. You are setting out to emulate rodding of the 50's - 60's and I am in awe of your creations but I do have to go back the that original era and what the boys had to work with then. No MIG for starters, Panel welding was done with Oxy so distortion was the big issue to combat then lead filled and filed as 2 pack filler was years away as were 4" grinders, air and battery tools, cutting was by way of tinsnips and hacksaw. Everything was done by hand and late nights. You are what we call the real deal and an inspiration to up and coming body workers to follow a dream to create something unique. I'll keep watching as long as you keep posting.
Wow! Thank you! 🙏
Hi Ian, where do I find the continuation of the 41 Chev chop top. I have it up you shunting the roof panel.
I learn something about metal working every episode, thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Glad to see a new video out. Great work and much respect my friend.
Jamie and Ian, thanks so much for this one!
Our pleasure!
Happy new year from Missouri kids!
I always enjoy watching your metal fabricating artistry....Your studies with the old Masters show. You Da Man.
This is awesome . Its nice to see a different method to the madness of a chop. I learned about how to chop my 41 from a guy who travels the country😅 doing classes and it just so happened the donor car was a 41.His name is Joel Davis. I did the suicide door conversion as well. Great tutorial ,thanks
Looking good 👍 nice job on the expansion of the roof 🤔 it always amazed me that most builders don’t lap weld an under strip followed by the spacer strip because as you have said it is mega strong and the chance of rust is zero if prepped correctly. Keep up the good work guys 😎
Great channel
Lookin great magical ian cheers 🥂 guys 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
A true craftsman.
Happy new year, Ian & Jamie! Thanks for all the videos!
Happy new year!
Love watching your prosess Ian! 😎
Thanks!
Thank you!
I have been watching you for years! and I love to see another person that works the way I do! my friends think I am crazy most of the time! because I see what can be ! and don't do things the proper ways! I build custom mini choppers and trikes! you are an inspiration! and I never make it through a full video, because watching you makes me want to get out in the shop and build! thanks for being weird and showing that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to build some great stuff!!
Thanks for every vídeo, God Bless both of your guyz, Happy New Year from Miami Fl 🎉
Looking great Ian 👍👍
I listen to you two in your shop while im working in mine. I have plenty of mc projects to keep me busy. Hahaha damn…a sawzall as a scraper. Hilarious, thanks
Good Fixing Sir ,, I'm doing the same on a 48 Chevy coupe ,, digging Frank on the wall ,, and that table , dang 12 ft roller ,, a dandy for sure ,, You da Man 👍
the best videos on youtube!
Y'all have skills beyond this Earth. Ian can move metal like no one and Jamie has that camera on lockdown.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Our pleasure! Thank you!
I miss working with my father as a kid..I could have held the camera like the flash light..he could be funny at times..but Ian is much better..
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. ❤️😎
Last comment, I AGREE. That sound engineer Does a Great job. GIVE HER A RAISE!
Well done as always … calm & collected thoughts 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it
@@fullcustomIan can’t think of a video on your channel that I haven’t liked !! You two are a great team !!
Happy new year Ian and Jamie stay safe, love your work. Merv from Australia
Absolutely amazing to watch it transform right before your very eyes! Good stuff!
I didn't think the roof would fit and persperation was pourin' off me like sweat.
Thank you guys for all the hard work you put into making the videos and thank you for sharing them with us.
Wishing You guys A Happy and Prosperous New Year..
Thanks folks have a great New Year's,
That's a good looking car the transformation is going to be 1 of a kind.
I think it's really cool when you can't tell the year now thats custom....
Looks AWESOME!
So relaxing to watch it come together. Thanks, Ian.
Awesome!!
Thanks!
Things are looking great !
I love the questions Jamie contribute to the commentary.
She ALWAYS makes exactly the same query I would want to if I was there in the shop, watching the process!
Big love to you both.
pm
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh yes it is looking Great 👍👍
Mad skills !!!
Thank you for explaining WHY you welded the center strip in!
Greetings from South Carolina.. want to wish both a happy new year! Must say one thing... the motor trend show, great work as usual. BUT...not crazy about coming back from the commercial & the project is done. I understand your under different rules! It takes US away from seeing all your fabrication skills. Makes me appreciate the U tube " OUT OF THIS WORLD"...even more. I enjoy watching everything!😉👍✌️🥳
Happy new year!
your method adds strength to the structure of the roof i like it
Glad to hear that!
love watching you figure things out ! I'm not a fabricator ....watching you really helps . Thank you very much!😎 JUST COOL!
I appreciate that!
This is awsome stuff folks thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing.🛸👽👍
Very welcome
Noticed Ians wedding ring, look at getting him a silicone ring. I use to wear my wedding ring working on projects like Ian and was constantly getting welding slag on it and even at times having it weld to the metal table while welding. I ruined my original wedding ring, now I wear the silicone rings and love them, and my wife keeps my metal ring that I wear for special going out occasions.
beautiful lines coming together now!!
love the way it seems to fall into place, and reveal more of the complete lines!
Thank you very much!
Mate I’ve watched you for years, this widening of the roof section is the one!
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Thanks for the visit
I am liking it so far. After some welding and snipping I think it will look good!
Ian, I still have a mark on my right thigh where the prop came out from under the 48 Chev coupe hood as I was rough shaping the fiberglass nose job back in 57. This after the body man down the street torch welded the two halves.
It was a friends we were working on it in his dad's gas station. As teens we all put a lot of work in that 48. Thus my interest in this project.
I really appreciate your approach and eye for aesthetics. Again, happy I rediscovered you and am so looking forward to the ongoing progress. Appreciate the camera work and repartee...🤔⚘ Remembering the cameraman always lives...😂
Thanks so much for sharing. Trust y'all have a blessed, safe and prosperous New Year.
Cool trick with the sawsall, never would of thought of it. I like the backing brace on the split, too. Not only stronger, but I would think it makes it easier when adding the 2 inch strip.
Glad I found this channel. Good to watch an artist creating and sharing techniques. My Dad was a fine artist and sculptor and I miss his magic, Thanks to both you folks for sharing yours.
Looking great Ian. Love the way you work. Do it your way. You are the one doing the project don't worry about the people telling you that they know better. Great projects. Thanks Marc from Australia
Love your work
Looks GREAT Ian and Jamie! It flows really well! Gangster for sure!
Thank you!
We agree!
Yes 100%!
haha good straight line on the back window mate 👌 🤣 👍
Side profile looking killa man! and so fast with no trucking around
Looks fantastic
Hey hey!... You're on the Home Stretch. Keep Up the Great Work.
Neat trick using the Sawzall to scrape.
Happy New Year Mr.& Mrs.Roussel. 🥂 😉✌
Happy new year!
Great video! Watching slowly getting roof to fit by following your intuition is amazing!😮😮😮
Thanks for the channel and a Healthy and Happy New Year to both of you!
I always learn a lot watching you and the trick using the saws all for descaling is brilliant!
Looking good!
Love watching the metal fabrication happening. Happy New Year!
The profile looks great, almost like factory if they would have made them that cool, nice work Ian
Happy New Year Jamie and Ian. Love your videos, and you both do so well in the videos and love the interaction between you both. Ian’s mastery of fabrication is so good to watch and enjoy his art work. Thank you, Kevin
Happy new year!
You are the best fabricator
Love this build!
It's looking choice. I used that same method on my 61 Apache truck when I widened my wheel wells 3 inches to build them into tubs.they came out really nice and straight. The roof line is coming along nicely.I guess Jamie called it on the roof huh.Take Care.
Ian making it happen once again!!
That one is coming together looks great
Looks great guys 👍
The flow of the roof looks pretty damn good
Jamie was onto it, she knew it had to be split down the middle.
Right on that's awesome
Love the fab...I'm a wood worker...no bending wood ..stack fab router is only kinda bending wood.....lol
Great work, nice flow on roof.
