- 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 😊
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.
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.
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.
😊
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.
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.
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.
It's crazy having an up and close look at master craftsman in his native habitat 🤘
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!
Jamie's music addition gives us the vibe of a early home rod shop from the hey day of hot rodding.
Thank you!
Thanks for the insight into Ian's mindset and build process
Our pleasure!
Sooo cool and inspiring. Reminds me not to overthink it. The old "K.I.S.S." method...
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.
I'm so happy you guys are posting! Love what you guys do for us! George The GlassMan
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
Ian you are Rad. I learn and totally inspired by how you create your art🤙🏼
Thanks Master Yoda😁
Awesome! Thank you!
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 ...
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!
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!
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. 👍🏻
Love your on the fly engineering.
You nailed the mad scientist Jamie!!!! Lol I was just thinking that when you said it. It was in his eyes!!!
Happy Sunday
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!
You are a true custom builder
Enjoyed it alot nice job both of you and shadow👍thanks for episode 👊👽👌
Glad you enjoyed it
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 !!!!
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 ❤
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! 😉✌
Love Miss Shadows little white paws. Also cut a few more holes in the ally window and you could go full on Mad Max 😮😉😂
Pretty stinking amazing. New shop inspector adds to the already cool crew.
We agree! She’s a sweetheart and so cute!
The window track was amazing
Welcome back guys and gals, the bug is coming together! Looks great! 🎉
Puppy poo luv hanging with u guys Sunday afternoons 😊
I work with wood like you work with steel. Love your wild ideas Ian. Hi Jamie. 👍🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸🤟🏼
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
Happy 😃, happy! Joy,joy!!!
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 👍
I quite enjoyed the prototype tinkering 👍
Can't wait to see this completed
Love that smile of success.
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 👽👽
what a great video. great solution for the window using the standard VW regulator. genius.
Glad you liked it!
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 ❤
You are just so very clever, Amazing you can just see it and build it that's a gift!
Thank you very much!
A creative genius ❤
I am so intrigued by your work, can't wait for next episode!
Don't know what you are doing but you are good man!🆒😎🤘!
Awesome working out. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
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.
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.
Glad to see you guys back I was going into withdrawal 😁
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!
Been waiting for another episode, slow progress but great stride! Thanks for everything!
Ian is an amazing craftsman.
Mark from down under,I like the the new bubble windows
It’s official! I want a bug! This thing is rad !!! 🎉❤❤❤❤
😎😎👽
Been waiting for more work on the bug. You have amazing abilities
Genius at work! Outstanding!
Thank you very much!
Love the skill saw cut
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 .😊
I thoroughly enjoyed how you explained and showed the development of window tracks. The door pivot. Looking forward to next video. Thanks
I love your beer engineering...!
Loved the look on Ian’s face when he amazed himself 😂😂😂 genius 😎
The door thingy is genius!!!!!
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?
Thank you for sharing.🛸👽👍
This build makes me drink😂😂. Can’t wait to see it finished, but until then I’ll keep watching! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
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.
Glad to see the grease Zert on your door hinge system
"You've got some "Mad Scientist" vibes going on right now, Gomez!" is a joy to behold! Ha! Ha! Keep bringing it!!!
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
Absolutely amazing! That’s gonna be so sweet! Good stuff!
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
Ich freue mich schon auf daß Endergebnis und die super Arbeit von Ian
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 🤓
the time consumed by inventing a functional design by ingenuity is unbelievable! Don't think anybody realizes how much planning, then trial and error, and then more planning goes into it. Mechanical and geometrical knowledge is so very important when it comes to garage engineering (stay in school and stay curious)! GREAT JOB! And great job explaining all of it as you go, too! Thank you sooooo very much. 👽💖👽
Ian ur teaching old dog new tricks 😊
You are a great custom builder not like that guy in Canada , chad
Wow, the door is evolving a personality of it's own! I love how you use cardboard to envision solutions to steel!
Next time, you'll reinvent the wheel! Such a fun journey ❤❤😂😂
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.
Ingenuity at its finest! That was a head scratcher.
Sounds like a video I would watch, your shipping exploits😊
A tale of fabrication and tails a-wagging, happy subscriber here
Yes!
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!!
Enjoying your content love the way your mind stitches from one idea to the next, VDub looks crazy, and so unquie, but really looking forward to little Jewels completion. Jamie awesome content, camera work and getting in and helping out, Dream Team Roussel...🛸😊 P.S. love your Back Drop beautiful looking country..
A crazy crazy idea I had, what if the seats slide out with the doors? That would be so cool.
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.
I've never built anything like this before, but it seems to me it's way more complicated than it needs to be. I can't wait to see it in action when completed. Thanks for including us in your thinking process.
This is getting really interesting! Everytime you come back to this project, it goes in a direction I would never have thought of. Love your approach.
You are a master custom builder
Madness, I say! Total madness! Love it!!¡
Ian, there isn't even a box in your galaxy to be inside of. It is fascinating to watch the processes as the ideas cross your face. Jamie, excellent camera work, editing and choices of music. Would you consider adding closed captioning for the shop inspectors, they mumble? When they come out with "The Utee Awards" for best RUclips content, you've got your category locked up. Thanx for taking us along.
that window track idea was brilliant
Totally mesmerized by your work process. Very cool!
I so enjoy watching your creative empirical process to solving the window issue, not to mention the skills to effect it. Great camera work as usual Jamie. I especially appreciate your Jewel opus. Large, unique, purposeful, with the quirky [cute!] cab.
A true master at work
