Ian, you are truly a sheet metal artist! What you've done to that 55 Oldsmobile and the hot rod fire truck is truly works of art. You see it - get an idea what you can do with it in your mind - have the talent and expertise to "make it happen". I stand in aw of you! I'm definately a HUGE fan of your TH-cam channel.
I think a third color used to bring out the pattern would have done the trick… A grey would have been classy, and setting off that work with simulated shadows would have kicked it up juuust right!
Damn I enjoy watching your videos, no loud blasting music, no listening to grinders and you talk! Yeah theirs guys that have TH-cam shows that play loud music and they never talk. Well thays the last I watch them. Ian dude your an artist through and through! Love watching your builds!!!
My dad bought the cars the same way and they turned out really nice when he was done especially the last 56 Chevy two-door hardtop that he ever did when he was done he was able to drive it in the parade😊
His gaps and shit and holding a piece in the air while cutting it gives me encouragement. Fingers grow back and chicks dig scars... "That '55 wasn't a restoration, it was a resurrection!" (just thought that up...)
You gotta be pretty confident in your abilities to start cutting up that henry j that's a pretty rair beast it looks so cool good work dude really you are something else
Years after my dad retired I found out he was a real live rocket scientist. He never said a word. We all knew where ge had worked but did not know what he did.
Hi Ian, Any reason you don't use lead instead of bondo/bodyfiller ?? My dad was an Oldsmobile man from 1939 until the last car he bought in 1980 with one exception. In 1954, the salesman at Barnabé (dealership in Montreal) talked him into buying a two door Chevy. My dad took it back six months later and bought a four door Oldsmobile. I remember asking him why. He hated those "barn doors". lol He was set in his ways. The car had to be an Oldsmobile, had to have 4 doors and a positraction differential. He told me that his cars never had to have the engine opened up. Take care.
Tell the man who does the pin striping, if he doesn't want the paint to have a skin on it, the best way to store the paint is to put the tin upside down 👎 lovely work by all of you 👍
My brother-in-law and his father used to paint cars and trucks and did their own pinstriping the shop was called truck colors his name was Gary crisp along with his father they had a shop in California and one in Oregon and they used to put little stick figure people chasing each other around on the car after they pinstripe it it was usually a guy chasing a lady it was his signature looked kind of cool
Re: rear quarter window opening: Instead of cutting the roof, why didn't you just move the bottom pinch weld inward, and add a strip between it and the contour on top of the quarter panel? It would have been a lot of less and easier welding.
i think the difference between the Henry J and the VW Bug roof chops are the VW maintains the same Radius. and the HJ does not ? i personally am a retired Professional Woodworker with mor than 35 professional years of building and installing Woodwork with a lot of Curves and Serpntine Shapes

No way, I commented below about how nice it was to not have a bunch of music covering up the sound of everything else. Now the second half of the show is playing a bunch of loud wild music....huh
So, I never did see the solution for the Rear Side Windows… He cut out the guts, and you cannot do a static window without a B Pillar… ??? It just looks like they have the windows Down the whole time!
genie non le mot ne correspond pas mais au contraire j'apprecie plus son cote décontracte et avec lui tout parait simple non je le dis et le redis c'est un artiste merci chef ..........
FFS, clearcoat the paintwork and re-chrome the badges and bumpers at least, or is the fillerwork so bad that the semi-matt finish hides it? Door Striker plates weren’t taken off or masked up so got sprayed yellow too and the underside of the bonnet and engine bay just look shit. He might fancy himself as a fabricator but he wouldn’t last 2 minutes at a proper Bodyshop 😂😂😂
The proportions seem off. Too much body, too little top. Some cars are perfect the way they are. Tri-Five Chevys look stupid chopped. Impalas look stupid chopped.
Man, what are you doing... its so rusty inside :-( thats sad, how can you even paint something like this, its bad, not even talking about the seats 😕how can you even say "it's finished" when its about halfway finished :-/
Used to watch this on Motor Trend on demand until they decided not to let anyone outside the USA be able to use it so to be fair mate this is the only way I can rewatch episodes and couldn't care less...

One thing Ive learned about Ians' genius is that if he doesn't have the piece or tool, he simply or complexly fabricates it, his self super kooool.
Nice build, but the White pinstripes are almost invisible IMHO should have used a darker color, great job !
Agree
I think a third color used to bring out the pattern would have done the trick…
A grey would have been classy, and setting off that work with simulated shadows would have kicked it up juuust right!
I'm a sheetmetal worker myself and you've done an awesome job on both of those projects ❤
Damn I enjoy watching your videos, no loud blasting music, no listening to grinders and you talk! Yeah theirs guys that have TH-cam shows that play loud music and they never talk. Well thays the last I watch them.
Ian dude your an artist through and through!
Love watching your builds!!!

I have to say it. I like the look of chopped four doors.
Both those cars look Amazing
Sr congratulations your a genius, may God keep inspiring you, Waow you really are an Artist
You have to say it as it is. Just brilliant.
Great seat hinge trim work-
Excellent idea blending trade tricks
Ian Rocks!... Great Ideas for My Custom Builds too. Thanks for Sharing
The Old's turned out to be a real beauty of a Car, good job Ian 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i like this series, because these cars are no showinner, no chip foose million dollar projects. right the amount of effort put in and just cool cars
Love the Olds my dad had one
His gaps and shit and holding a piece in the air while cutting it gives me encouragement. Fingers grow back and chicks dig scars...
"That '55 wasn't a restoration, it was a resurrection!" (just thought that up...)
much nicer amount of chop than the other Olds.
You put out good work and very entertaining videos.
I love what you do and the way you do it 👍👍👍
Gota love this guy 🫡🫡
Love your passion and your determination…..well done! Greetings from down under Australia…

You gotta be pretty confident in your abilities to start cutting up that henry j that's a pretty rair beast it looks so cool good work dude really you are something else

That dog is very pretty and awesome
great going Ian‼️
a very gifted display of ingenious craftmanship
amazing ‘stuff’ this journey of discovery with you

👊🔥
The car is beatiful
So much fun watching the art deco era projects. How about some Bugatti and some Delahaye?

Ian is a true genius - but seems never to clearcoat any of his cars. It protects the paint and helps make the colours truly pop.
Hey on the pie cuts , I'm digging those clamps ,, did you make those or is that something over the counter ? Thanks for sharing 👍
great looking. wow your work is great..
Nice work!!! What a Craftsman!!
Now the back end is smooth, maybe those caddy tail-lights can go in the back of the fenders instead of the rear panel?
Tell the man who does the pin striping, if he doesn't want the paint to have a skin on it, the best way to store the paint is to put the tin upside down 👎 lovely work by all of you 👍
Truly enjoy watching Ian fabricate, but why leave the inside of the hood and deck lid unpainted and rusty?
I totaly agree
I really want to see this car with your work finished.
Diamond tuck would be perfect.
He can build anything
Now I want to eat Jelly Beans, thanks Jack!
Man you have got fantastic music do u-pick-it
Why doesn't the carburetor fit right directly on the manifold like it's supposed to
Does the cars actually get finished? Didn't see any side windows.
This guys awesome. Sponsored by 3m
Starting to look like a marlin in the rear.

My H-J first thought; "hatchback". ;-)
What ever happened to the Henry J build?
Henry J was the model the car was made by the Kaiser car company.
Came.out with a fair looking Henry J
Do you have a ventilated gas cap on it
Ian you are either born with your innate skills or not. I wasn't. You have a gift and I envy the hell out of you...
مذهلة
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
No way, I commented below about how nice it was to not have a bunch of music covering up the sound of everything else. Now the second half of the show is playing a bunch of loud wild music....huh
I enjoy your videos nice work but on this one the side and that rusty brace running down the back looks terrible you’re part was pretty cool though
So, I never did see the solution for the Rear Side Windows…
He cut out the guts, and you cannot do a static window without a B Pillar… ???
It just looks like they have the windows Down the whole time!
I think you are one of the best around i will like to send my mazda mx 3 1993 so you do something with i't 😅
I would have done yellow or brown interior on the olds
People commenting to ian like this is his channel?
You must be new to stolen content TH-cam… welcome… where normal doesn’t exist
The man's name was Henry J Kaiser
Might as well be ghost stripes
Gold stripes it would be better🎉
Why doesn,t Ian shops a Volkswagen type 3 ?
I think he would do a nice job on such Volkswagen type 3 ......
✌🏻😊
Henery j im 72 and that’s what they were called, never heard any of the other names
Between 1952-54 Sears Allstate: did come wih a trunk
Testify! 😀

No Buick here

You can barely see the striping
Was the stripper going to cry?👀😂
That doesn’t look like a Henry J???
Please use a fender cover on that NICE NEW PAINTJOB…..😎
The proportions seem off. Too much body, too little top. Some cars are perfect the way they are. Tri-Five Chevys look stupid chopped. Impalas look stupid chopped.
this video is not something you want to watch if you are looking for a peaceful vibe the constant loud music kills that vibe thanks but no thanks
Loose the horrible music please

Does he ruin EVERY car like the past two or so builds?? Not my vision. He’s an artist, just not my speed
What would you had done differently?
That's ur opinion asshole
Well as long as it’s the paying man’s vision then it’s gold
@@hotwire62 no, it’s not gold; it’s anything BUT!!
@@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692 well as long as it’s gold to the one paying the bill then your opinion don’t matter
Did the Oldsmobile ever get windscreen wipers ??
Well he’s FEATURED?!??!?
Can you say FACE-SHIELD????
Tired of digging rusted metal out of my face…. EYEBALLS!!!!
SAFETY GLASSES Ian…..!!
Can’t grown HAIR or ANOTHER EYE
GREAT TROUBLE-SHOOTING….
A-1 Dude…
So sorry the internet is applying shit to you
