Hes got his own channel now with new content.
It is very nice yo see your passion for your beautiful and functional projects. Your Canadian customers show an appreciation for your talent.
Thank you for sharing.
so much talent, awesome work
The algorithm dropped this on me and I subscribed before 3 minutes in. This is the sort of creative I love best. On the fly, with only a general idea of where it is taking you. And you make it look so easy... LOL.. experience in action. And you suddenly have a client/patron, who dropped a Henry-J on you !! That will be fun. And the lady likes your new project chop. Dude... go for the brass ring. This channel is about to get crazy.....
This isn't my channel, my Full Custom Community is on my channel. Banijay is uploading these to youtube without my permission sadly.
Always a pleasure watching a master at work.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
There are some people using social media making names for themselves in this business who are very average. Being a "proper" designer I can tell that this guy knows exactly what he's doing. It's nice to see real artist's coming into this business.
Amazing work love watching your videos
damn that thing looks sick moving and sounded awesome
Carry on being "Reckless" because you have a real talent for being so 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A 1970 Beetle was my first car too! I bought it in 1972, thrashed it and it just kept on running!
Seeing the body lifted and carried reminded me of my best friend's bachelor party in 75. Two girls came into the tavern to use the restroom. In the time they were in there, four of us guys turned their bug sideways so the bumpers were almost touching the pickups on both sides. Upon leaving, they came back in with an amazed but not amused attitude.
Nice Work! It is fun to see how well you do this. I have been playing in my shop for years and am truly impressed with your speed and talents!
he's got THE BUG!!!! SUCH FUN!!
Carrying that big on your head is one way to show up to the parade 🎉
"I'm that good" what a humble statement! Makes me gag! "I'm reckless" in every third sentence. The blue car has really nice lines, but the front suspension is pretty crude! Love the super trick door unlock!
If its true its true and he is just that fn good
Thank you ! you do great work.
Thanks for the video 😎
Snotty looking VW. I LIKE it nice work again.!
What I like the most you work along.
Love you work very much.GBU.IAN
That is a one of a kind build. Very good and professional built ride he is a master at the Craft he does people show him some appreciation for his Craft and skills one of the best this day and age
just let your imagination run wild and have fun; Great job Bro from another Canadian.
Walking the vw off property and on to the trailer.....
Hilarious 😊
Remember him from Car Warriors! Good times for sure!
What up bro, I've been watching your videos for years.. 54 Chevy, model a roaster truck. I love your style. Awesome work.. 👍👍
Great videos as usual keep up the great work
You are not just building something you are creating something. That comes organically.
Master of masters
Sweet VW love your work
looks exactly like mine when I bought it.....exactly....had to buy another one just to get the hood.....chopped mine 3 1/2 inches all around and built a custom tube chassis with a 389 pontiac in the front with a th350 and narrowed ford nine inch in the back....four link rear suspension dropped front axle with quarter eliptical suspension and radiator in the back.....mickey thompson fatties in the back and 10 spoke front skinnies in the front.........
That is 👀sharp love the cut clips ,like before ,& after
Beetles are a hard car to chop and make it look "right". Also, it's hard to improve upon what the engineers, artists and factory workers created in Wolfsburg, Germany. I'm a VeeDub guy too, my first car was a 1967 Beetle I bought from my uncle Bill for a hunerd bucks. I sure do miss that car. It's one of a few cars I had that I regret parting with.
Nice video...😀
I went to school in NYC in the 60 and once got a ride on a Saab 96 (2 stroke) it was a hairy experience!
nobody cares
Hello Ian love the bug chop .looking good 👍. What the changes of get a full custom garage t shirt sent over here to Western Australia. Keep up the good work and love the show 👏
Amazing ! Congratulations.
Sloped vent window frames and larger windows, and sunvisor mounts. '65
I love it!! New twist on a Jeep. I own a few Jeeps, and know ulhow a lot of people are over them. Their problem.is, they open a catalog and pick a bunch of bolt on accessories, and slap em on. There is no originality in that, can't wait to see where this goes
What a chamer! Unbeliavable bug.
First off I want to say , you have extreme talent nd describe what you are doing that makes sense. Bottem kine is it is fantstic. ,,,,,,,don
I would love to collaborate with you on my project! I've been wanting to stretch a 4 door 89 Isuzu Trooper and add a pickup bed 23:53 made out of a 2 door Trooper. Then install a late-model 3.5L Isuzu engine & tranny under it.
I have 5 -89 Troopers for this, but the trick is remaking the back 2 doors to eliminate the rear fender well. Just too many other easier hot rod projects to devote to this one.
7:24 jabadabaduuuuuuuuuu!!!
Nice job!
Excellent work and creativity.....I just might send you a VW beetle from Trinidad to mod for me....
Great Job, well done!
KOOL
it looking awsome brother
Excelente trabajo, increíble
I laughed so hard when you "walked" it over to the trailer! LOL
The width between the middle tread right side tire and left side wheel of the VW air cooled beetle is 6 foot and to widen more of the tracks on a road car is to be either 7 foot or maybe 8 ft for sand dune buggy. Add in lower and upper tubular wishbone letter A control arm independent suspension design by TCI or PORCHE Wolfsburg.
I'm with you. No cookie cutter car, CUT IT UP !!!!!
Loving you both working with the spanners(sorry Australian term there) Looking forward to watching this move forward forward.
nice one
I'm glad Ian uses his powers for good and not for evil...........
Wow! Awesome…
I have a design in my head for a VW Beetle that I have had since I was 14 ! Now 40 years later, I still have not been able to build it 😢.
Nothin to it but to do it!
nice to have a sharp blade on a seawall. you made it look clean and easy. not so in real time. Saws all blades bend. they dull quick. My brother and I have done some work on the car. started with a ratty karmin this. getting engine and tranny out was a bitch. wheels were rusted on the drums in back. shortening the shift rod was another pain. required a custom made adjuster
Beautiful
You know your bugs! The shape is better than the blue one because it looks like how the factory should have done the original.
First season, second season, third season❤😅
51 Henry J is a sweet rid my neighbor has one and it runs mid 8s 1/4 mile it was his grampas and he had a 392 hemi in it
I am definitely a fan of your work!
It's like as much as I've followed you I expect nothing less than wicked pissa!!!
MAX-AIR Shock absorber 10 inches - 12 in. One end is stud and second end is hole for bolt go thru holding down to I-beam spring and lower straight arm control gusset. All kits for $195.99.
Drove a 1964 VW great car 6 volt system!
This one, and the Econoline one, got me into your work. I don't get the name of this channel. I had a hard time finding it again after going to your Full Custom channel.
what tv show is that? this is so cool and i dont watch tv.. so i dont know.. is full custom garage an actual tv show?
Awesome
Ian, So scary you are the man.
Where did u get headers for the blue bug. Been looking for headers like that. Thanks in advance for information..
I think a 50’s split rear oval window would look really cool
You could have gotten the front torsion bar extender for $350 on line. It would kick your front tires out like six in inches and that would mean no front fenders but you're going for that anyways. Also it would lower the front up your butt and make your steering tighter. Keep the rear stock height because when you lower the rear the back wheels flare out and makes the bug look stupid in the rear.
Beach bugs first deigned in South Africa Durban!
I like it
That’s epic / reminds me of billy gibbons bug
Is there another channel where you built the wifes beetle and then worked on that trunkless body? I didnt find it on the Banijay Engine channel.
hi i enjoy watching you
That beetle looks likd the plymouth growler with a roof
You do it on the fly. Is what they call it.
Where are you located ? I have a 72 on shortened pan and want to put an Austin America body on it
😎Wow Godbless
The blue bug looks like an actual beetle just sitting there
Eu até gostei mas não pode fazer nada num lugar desse aí a alegria vai embora, não poder nadar que absurdo 😢😢
If it were me I'd put crazy ass big fenders/wheel wells on it but maybe I'm being impractical?? Lol🎉🎉
I like these, but i like the ones,motortrend, has. Four, 5 6 7 8.seasons❤but these, better, than the u tube ones with,him and,yoko😊
Perfeito
Man that was a awesome build not overly fond of the O,l bettle but that I,d drive for sure and What a Major compliment buys one drops off one and the wife wants one top job well done

@4:15 I used to be in that club, out of Pasadena ca
Like the VW trike he built, a bit too much camber in the rear. The tires will wear on the inside. Air shocks would rectify the problem
When do we see the shell he was chopping???
I'll meet him eventually.
U watched it, becides who the heck are u, a lounge lizzerd at war?😊
Now it REALLY looks like a 'bug'. However, it is easy to make things look cool when they are totally illegal, like blacked out windows, no fenders, lights too low, no side markers, etc, etc.
