- Part 36! 1968 VW Radical Custom What Goes Up MUST Come Down 🪟 ⬆️
Ian said it would get weirder .... 👽 👽 Ian and his "envisioning tools" are getting the job done. Ian fabs the window mock up and even makes it roll up and down! All on the fly from his engineering mind.
The saga continues....And Who said kustoms were easy or took under an hour to create? Ian Roussel is home alone on the ranch for a few days and started "Camera on a stick" to showcase the structural aspect of his kustom door.
There are no rules in car customization, and if there was a rule it would be to go as far outside of the box as your fabrication skills can take you. Ian envisioned a simple and radical solution to this style of door opening. He walks himself and Jamie through the process, with pretty satisfying results. This is only the beginning. Come journey with Ian out of this world fully into the outer space of KUSTOMS. 🛸 🛸 🛸 🛸
"Car Building Is Fun! Lets keep it that way."~ Ian Roussel
The backstory...
Ian has decided to lower this VW Beetle 6 inches to get it to the ground and start radically modifying this beat up 1968 VW Beetle, but like most things that were once going to find the fate of the crusher, he once again proves you can do some amazing things in your garage with some imagination, fearlessness and a willingness to make mistakes as you create. 🥴
His fascination stems from the seemingly limitless customization opportunities for this vehicle. Join Ian on a wild ride through his mind 👽 as he envisions then fabricates his most radical ideas to date.
Ian worked and studied at a bronze casting foundry as a young man, where he learned to create models, armatures, molds and finished sculptural artwork in all mediums and finishes. Ian is fascinated by the artistic process of sculpture. He brings this knowledge to his car customizations, to his TV show audience, and now he brings it to you, his growing RUclips audience.

Hey Everyone! Thank you for stopping by today! We are so glad to be back! Let us know what you think of our new video in the comments! Please remember to check if you are SUBSCRIBED! Click LIKE and COMMENT! We appreciate the love to our channel! 👽 👽
I have some stuff I would like to send you, can you please let me know how to do it? Thanks
It's great to see you back again
Glad you're back at it. Very interesting how that window thing works. Was there a doorbell right at the end of the video? LOL I don't have a doorbell and I was like wait where did that come from haha I cannot wait to see the finished product on this VW
I started cracking up laughing when you said Ian had some mad scientist stuff going on because I was thinking the same thing at the same time. Ian put that marker in his mouth and you could see that he was in his zone.
Zone I have that 2 😊
I'm a simple man. I see work on this car, I click. I can't wait to see this thing finished and rockin' out!
I think when Ian is finished with this bug is going to be a work of art. I can’t wait for it to be finished. I fully agree with you.
To simply quote Monty Python, " Doctor, my brain hurts!" That was pretty impressive!!👍 The fact that you can move from one project to another with ease is incredible!! No stagnation!!
I fully agree with you. It’s amazing what he does, and yet he goes from one project to another and back again without flinching and his work is phenomenal. Can’t wait to see the bag finished. I love my Beetles.
Love the laid back attitude from both you guys. It's not something you see often in build videos.
Fully agree with you. They both look like such laid-back people and they make a great couple.
You are a great custom builder not like that guy in Canada , chad
I love the simplicity of how you work and have been a fan for a very very long time
I appreciate that!
I agree with you. Another thing about Ian is that he is humble and I think that just makes his videos even better to watch. I tend to watch a lot of American car shows, but they all seem to let the fame go to their head, whereas Ian doesn’t. He is so chilled.
😊
Remarkable to watch this coming together. Such ingenuity.
Very cool ideas! That door is one of a kind! Maybe a metal cradle for the glass? That way the slots and holes would be in the metal cradle? Just a thought I had. Hang loose!
Very innovative window mechanism you have figured out there Sir. That whole car is going to be killer when you are finished with it.
Jamie's music addition gives us the vibe of a early home rod shop from the hey day of hot rodding.
Thank you!
well played putting that window mechanism together so quickly. Instead of slotting the glass, I think it could pivot at the glass and also pivot where the track mounts to the flat bar. Then whole track can swing back and forth when you go down and up to account for the arc... Thanks for taking the time to ship everything out - love the eyemuffs.
I was thinking the same.
Sooo cool and inspiring. Reminds me not to overthink it. The old "K.I.S.S." method...
Happy Sunday
When she said mad scientist ideas going on, I was thinking the same. Imagining in my head how does he see these things so quickly and easily. The kind of stuff that keeps us watching.
Thanks for the insight into Ian's mindset and build process
Our pleasure!
Awesome to see a master at work. Also good to see Ian relaxed when something isn’t going according to plan and not see him get frustrated and throw what he is working on across the garage ,lol!
Absolutely
As much as i like FCG, FCI is 100 times better! I like the detail, thought process, skills, etc. Your thought process is so quick! I really enjoy watching!
Ian you are Rad. I learn and totally inspired by how you create your art🤙🏼
Thanks Master Yoda😁
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm so happy you guys are posting! Love what you guys do for us! George The GlassMan
This is some mad science material … and the exact reason I watch this show. You just never know what Ian is going to do next ❤
Ian I don't know if you would be interested. I worked at a Fiat dealership in the 70s before I went to the army. The 850and 124 spiders had a cable system that welded into the inside of the doors. Living in Pennsylvania in the winters the cable idler pulley would rust off of the door inside. We used the braze them back in. The first one I did was working fine. I was cranking the window up and down and the service manager came over and said I see you have working. He said come over here and look at the outside of the door. I guess I got carried away with the torch. There was a large burn spot in the paint. I was loosing it. The service manager was a really great guy. He told me to go to the detail shop and get the detail paint gun. He sanded and painted my screw up in no time. I learned a lesson that day to pay attention where I'm putting the torch when brazing
Love your on the fly engineering.
Man, oh man! The work and ti.e that goes into a custom car! Very cool to see what it really entails.
It’s true!
You are a true custom builder
You nailed the mad scientist Jamie!!!! Lol I was just thinking that when you said it. It was in his eyes!!!
Awesome to have you back Ian. Glad to see you’re working on the bug. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next instalment. LOL. Still a great fan of your work and your videos. Blessings to you and Mrs Ian from England. Take care. I will be watching this episode as soon as I get off my phone so I can watch it on the big screen.
Thanks 👍
@@fullcustomIan no worries. 👍🏻
I'm 3 months late and you just popped up on my TV...I've been following the hot rod thing since the 60s..this is like watching all the great ones..only it's 2024.... I don't know about other old guys..but it's a great thing watching Ian,and feeling as if I'm welcomed into the shop to watch him work...both you guys are great ...
My son and I both received our Eye Muffs... As soon as he spied my bluetooth ones, he called dibs LOL! Great product folks.
That is awesome! I’m glad you both like them!
Love Miss Shadows little white paws. Also cut a few more holes in the ally window and you could go full on Mad Max 😮😉😂
Great video of some of the minutia of custom building that no one sees or even thinks about. Custom car building requires in depth knowledge and skills that are not seen or even imagined by the ordinary car enthusiast. Loved it. I was enthralled!!!!
Well said!
Greetings from South Carolina... just a suggestion...on that top pivot that has to move @3"". make another channel that you can glue to the bottom of the window with a track..with a pivot roller wheel. Like the old school window tracks. That will give you, your movement & ease of resistance?
It takes a 6pack of bud light to ease headach trying to think like ian. The other 12 just injoying show. Keep them coming jamie ❤
I pick up a lot of tips when I watch your videos so I will give you one back: If you trim the lower front corner of the window "glas" as much as possible and also swing it inwards a bit, you will get the window even further down. Also decreases the chance of cracking it as sharp corners are more exposed...but...I guess you have already thought of that :)..AND Im only 15 minutes into your video when I write this .😊
Ian, why in the world do you worry about some of us out here say? Unless it is one of your hero's speaking just keep moving on. No one out here has any history like yours! Love your work.
That's pretty awesome man! Not to many videos out there showing the fabrication of a custom door mechanism. I think you got it once everything is anchored down tight with nylon bushings and some grease that baby will be smooth as silk. Great work brother! 😉✌
Puppy poo luv hanging with u guys Sunday afternoons 😊
I quite enjoyed the prototype tinkering 👍
Ian ur teaching old dog new tricks 😊
Pretty stinking amazing. New shop inspector adds to the already cool crew.
We agree! She’s a sweetheart and so cute!
It’s great to watch you work from imagination to fabrication to implementation. I believe someone at Disney coined the term “imagineering”. Anxious to see the next VW door design and implementation video utilizing the hydraulic cylinder. Also, another superb effort by your director, producer and videographer !!!!
"You've got some "Mad Scientist" vibes going on right now, Gomez!" is a joy to behold! Ha! Ha! Keep bringing it!!!
Don't know what you are doing but you are good man!🆒😎🤘!
With the door mechanism you could use the hydrolic system with a bar and sleeve with a thread towards the end to turn the door upwards🤔
A crazy crazy idea I had, what if the seats slide out with the doors? That would be so cool.
Another option instead of slotting the glass would be to use a track with one or two wheels that some cars have that use a register mechanism with an arm to move the glass up and down. The ones I've seen have holes in the glass that allow the track to be bolted to it. A slotted hole in the glass would probably crack the glass during use with just a little side load. Sorry if I seem like Mr. Knowitall. It's just the engineer in me. I've learned some much from watching you work; it's a pleasure to see it in action! Cheers
I work with wood like you work with steel. Love your wild ideas Ian. Hi Jamie. 👍🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸🤟🏼
Love that smile of success.
A creative genius ❤
Happy 😃, happy! Joy,joy!!!
Today the VW, Tomorrow the world !
Can't wait to see this completed
Cool plan so far.
Rear of window can have pivot and forward slider.
Front of window rolls downward vertically. That will draw rear pivot forward and can also be slightly downward to pull it lower.
Enjoyed it alot nice job both of you and shadow👍thanks for episode 👊👽👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Welcome back guys and gals, the bug is coming together! Looks great! 🎉
I did the exact same thing that you did with the tubing but I made rain gutters for my 54 Willys jeep wagon. The previous owner decided to shave the old ones off and then rain would run directly into the vehicle 🤓
Use a Power linear actuator on heim joints. Mount from bottom of door to bottom of window with the heims. Pivots automatically with the arc of the window. Just push a button. Probably need a steel channel on bottom of the glass. Simple but effective 👍🏼💯
Good idea, i think the VW style actuator won't last long.
Nice , there's a clip on window pivot you can use for your pivot . Then try getting a lower window track and make it slide able
Ian is an amazing craftsman.
Love the skill saw cut
Glad to see the grease Zert on your door hinge system
Interesting custom window regulator concept, looked to me that the round tubing should be on the outside of the flat bar instead of between the glass template and flat bar to eliminate binding.
what a great video. great solution for the window using the standard VW regulator. genius.
Glad you liked it!
Once the felt is in place the glass will glide so smoothly!
Absolutely amazing work Ian, I am So impressed! Love watching the wheels turn in your head. I was thinking split the windows but now you are totally on to it for sure!
Thanks 👍
Mark from down under,I like the the new bubble windows
If you look at a factory window, they have a “C” channel on the bottom of the window and below that they have an open flat “C” channel that moves side to side with nylon wheels. If you do that it will make up for the arc because that nylon wheel can roll back-and-forth while the window mechanism still goes straight up and down that’ll solve any issues you have with the Arc.
It’s official! I want a bug! This thing is rad !!! 🎉❤❤❤❤
😎😎👽
Best fab on RUclips dude....been watching you do your thing for alot of years now, starting with full custom garage. I watch alot of stuff and have some experience with alot of stuff.......you are an impressive individual for sure!! Also, nice work Jamie as well!!!
Thank you 👽👽
The window winder goes in a straight line, and the window goes in a ark, you need a relay arm between the two, just like on the steering on the Jeep,
Door out and tilt could be hidden inside the tube, or full steampunk with rose joints and in one continuous motion, full on display, it all depends on what interior you are going for, i imagine part rat rod, and part steampunk, maybe even a small steering box for each door, with an electric motor, and some extra arms for the tilt.
It might end up being a very heavy door, maybe do some in alu, and make it part of the interior
Boa tarde,aí vc é o Rei da engenhoca, muito louco.
Such a joy to watch, also keep the narration real time . instead voice over. it makes d vid that much interesting for us!!!( i know its not easy to work & talk)
You are just so very clever, Amazing you can just see it and build it that's a gift!
Thank you very much!
Ich freue mich schon auf daß Endergebnis und die super Arbeit von Ian
Been waiting for more work on the bug. You have amazing abilities
I think it’s going to work out great , BUT you need to duplicated to the other side ! And that works like a mirror ! Good luck !
OMG! That window is going to look hot. You could’ve taken the easy route and split it into two but you didn’t. That’s what I love about your work. I commented on another one of your videos little while back that I would love to come, and either work with you, or for you, and I got a reply from one of your subscribers saying, an Englishman in the desert! I had to laugh, because 1: I am a sunworshipper and 2: I’m not originally from England. I’m originally from Africa. So I love the hot weather and especially when it’s a dry heat like you have there. I cannot wait for this bag to be finished because that is going to belong in a motor museum. That is, of course after you take it to SEMA. Please keep up the great work and once again blessings to you and Mrs Ian from England.
If you fix the bottom of the winder rather than giving it a bolt with a pivot point it will bind up. It needs to be able to change angle.slightly. The winder window fixing point will also need to pivot.
Ian, at some point are you planning to transfer all this creativity to an original door shell, it might help organize the crank assembly and window slide ! Just looking forward a little.
Genius at work! Outstanding!
Thank you very much!
It’s really something watching you work through the window roller. Agreed about the “ mad scientist vibe “ and get it when the juices are flowing let them flow. Tesla used to see it in his mind too. It does all start there. Enjoy all your vids and appreciate that you share them. Thanks u2
Ian, your vision and imagination astound me! Carry on Sir.
Awesome working out. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
I am so intrigued by your work, can't wait for next episode!
Loved the strategically place "dingdong" lol. Just a thought, most glass is held with a channel at the bottom and glued into that channel and the window mechanisms are attached to that. Would a channel like that help with window placement and attaching the regulator and pivot point to it?
Your new puppy dog is a beautiful little lady
I love your beer engineering...!
Someone's knockin' at the door, Somebody's ringin' the bell, Someone’s knockin' at the door, Somebody's ringin' the bell. Or you could just roll down the window. Amazing!!
I love the videos and was glad to see this one after your break. I build mechanisms for a living and wanted to point out one thing with the window. Because it is pivoting on the one point, everything on the window travels in an arc, not a straight line. You did say the anchor on the window will have to have slop to allow it to move without binding and this is the reason why.
Glad to see you guys back I was going into withdrawal 😁
Ian, I think if you use round tube instead of the square tube on the door slide, you could use two electric actuators; one to slide it in/out, the other to rotate it up/down. And the actuators could both could be mounted inside near the tunnel and out of the way, maybe. Just an idea.
The square keeps it square to the door opening.
Long time no post .continue part 37 pleased !
The door thingy is genius!!!!!
Loved the look on Ian’s face when he amazed himself 😂😂😂 genius 😎
Working construction, it was necessary to look as many steps forward as possible. With auto fab, Ian makes the process look easy. I wonder how that piece of glass will be set into the door. Looks impossible but Ian already knows, I’m sure. His amazing mind … is amazing.
It's crazy having an up and close look at master craftsman in his native habitat 🤘
A tale of fabrication and tails a-wagging, happy subscriber here
Yes!
Been waiting for another episode, slow progress but great stride! Thanks for everything!
Ian displays mastery of his trade in ways that I would not even imagine, possible. His ability to imagine possibilities of set ups and functioning are something to behold. It is even difficult for a person like me to follow his conceptualizing and creative processes. Somethimes I have to stop the video and rewind to see how he sequenced all these steps. Love this show!
You are a master custom builder
A true master at work
