Full Custom Garage

I have only seen 4 episodes of this show so far but I am very impressed with the work, style and skills of fabricator/builder Ian Roussel. The show is very entertaining and interesting. It really is a pleasure to watch Ian at work, especially if you are a car guy and he presents himself admirably on the show.

It's a credit to the producers of the program that they chose to showcase a talented person like Ian. Hopefully the program will give many young guys coming up some inspiration to work hard and develop a range of skills that will set them up for life.

It's a shame there are not more quality reality programs like this one rather than the blithering idiots very often showcased on some other reality programs of this kind.

I really like everything I've seen. However, there is one of Ian's builds that, while I liked the end result, I think it should have been done with a different style in one area. On the "Merc Eater" I would have kept the iconic Packard "Tombstone" grill, maybe with pieces of the Merc grill to the sides. It's supposed to be a car that eats Mercs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The point of the car was something other than a Merc, and that Packard grill would define its' lineage, and let everybody know what it is. What he ended up with is basically a Merc, so why start with a Packard? I learn something each episode. Like the cop he did on a Henry J was very helpful in my own quest to build custom cars, I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast, but Ian did a couple of trikes that were interesting, even to me. The big truck that he made a tilt front end and widened fenders used a method similar to what I did on a 52 Chevy truck a few years ago. Turning a 4 door into a 2 door was very informative. I did something similar on , believe it or not, a 1974 AMC Hornet, except I kept the rear door, just shorter front to back.

Ian you are one amazing dude!! Your creativity and how you work gives people incentives to create things. And your dog he's the best I just watched the show where he got a bed and a tool vest that he can wear He's cute. Now he has a nice comfy place to watch you work!! Keep the shows coming You're so original All these other car shows are for people that have millions of dollars have 20 car collections or more and millions and millions of dollars who cares You create beautiful automobiles and motorcycles out of parts that you find and create It takes a lot more imagination and talent to do that!!! The Cruise liner is gorgeous. Just watch that episode tonight. Can't get enough of your shows.

Amazing builder . Fun to watch ! Hope I get to see more .

I have followed the show since it started. While watching S7 E8, I started to get eye strain and headache with all the zooming in and out, along with all the bouncing action of the camera. Why not use the stabilization setting and just shoot the scene so we can enjoy the set with out all the rapid zooming in and out.
