Your work is top notch I don't understand why your not more known. Fb seems to shovel bad chad down my throat but we got guys like you that actually do good work and no platform pushing your content.
I have a 53 belair 2dr coupe that I'm working on. It also needs a ton of work as well. So looking at your shows are a true inspiration. Keep up the gr8 work.
Ian's gym is the workouts he gets from his most excellent restorations.💪
Saw this episode before and mr russel is a genius his vision is impeccable
What ' s the word for genius? Ahead of our times , that what he is.
I really enjoy all your shows no matter what you're creating… You're absolutely one of the nicest people in front of the camera
Nice job on the chopped 55, but I'm in agreement with the statement of the owner .......a little less radicle on the chop would be nice. The body lines in such a severe chop on such a large bodied car end up making things look disproportionately heavy on the bottom end, (unless one goes through the ordeal of sectioning the body as well). And then there's the practicality of just getting in and out of the thing. Too low, is too low....in my humble opinion.
Ian you are a magician and definitely know what you are doing. Using old school methods shows that you have truly studied your craft. I had a 55 two-door in high school persimmon and white. I am a new subscriber as of today keep up the good work.
55 2dr ht in high school. could not drive on gravel dust you out
des vidéo j'en regarde souvent et je ne suis pas toujours d'accord, mais la je suis surpris par la qualité de travail de ce monsieur le sérieux la maitrise et surtout les solutions les plus complexes sont trouvées avec une façon de démontrer parfaite je suis convaincu par ce monsieur et je resterais fidèle à ces vidéo merci à bientôt............
From all shows your NO1. Keep it coming.
Logically and methodically miracles are happening. Dreams become reality. Best channel out there.
I started to doubt your ability to put this car back together but you nailed it. You're fabricating skills are on another level. Thanks for sharing your content. Waiting on the next one.
quite enjoy this series, thank god no fake deadline drama, or family problems involved

What a build!! I can understand Bill's apprehensions, but .....
I'm not into that style of car, but you are good at what you do with the old cars. I like those old cars in the 30's 40's and 50's... They had good metal in them those days!
1955 Oldsmobile
I see a lot of fabricators on KZhead, and I hate it when all kinds of hot sparks hit the glass, that just messes them up. Even grinding and sparks flying on other cars.
Design & fabrication are spot on 👍👍👍
I could never work for someone like that,omg!!! Biil, wow! Man, flys and bill!!!
When I saw it was a four door, my first reaction was a suicide door conversion like a Continental. That would be sweet!
Amazing transformation!
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Wow!
Perfect work Ian!
Ian looks like a real Cock sucker. OOH I like him.!!!!!
I am 93 years old now but was a butt Fucking Leather Faggot all my life and now I'm known as the naked fabricator of my neiborhood which means that I work on fabricating custom cars all day long totally naked yes I work in my shop totally naked and most of the time I'm welding with a proud 13 inch hard on.
g'day...best custom build channel I've seen...
All of that work saving the back glass and its ruined with all of the welding spatter. 😮
It’s a joy to watch your creative mind at work another awesome car
my jackstands are painted to the car. their much smaller and far more simple. I admire your work, but it's just a promotion.
He really has a craft 😎🔥💪💯🙏
Ian knows his * ! That guys a magician ! 👍👌
I really enjoy your show so humble not like the other guys who are loud mouth and show offs ❤
Gonna need new glass with the weld burns all over it
ce gars la ce n'est pas un gars ordinaire c'est un artiste .....................
Ant seen ya'll in awhile. Always good to see your constructs!
I am watching the vedio than when i go to watch your next one on the same car it gone i never see to the end of the build🙃
Great episode. Saw it a while ago on free-to-air TV. Better then because there was no intrusive and totally unecessary music bashing away overcoming what the people had to say. Can't people leave "good" alone without f@!@king with it?
Just happened upon the site yesterday and he built a old school Harley plus a Kawasaki a new site for me to watch I think he’s cool
When you fitted the windshield, my first thought was; "hidden windshield wipers". ;-) If only I was 50 years younger maybe I could build one of my concept vehicles (I think there's a bakers dozen)? One problem with customs or hot rods, their rarely daily drivers (rain between sunken glass and new metal)? They should provide bunny ears with those suits. ;-D
Bill u need to relax a bit 😂😂😂😂
Tack hack
Dude, Flies Suck! You should toss a bar of Irish Spring Soap (classic scent) in your Go-Gear. Not a big fan of it but I seen & tried the hack and it worked for me... rub the bar around wherever they are a problem, and they stay away! They seem to hate the smell, and you don't have to spray poison all over yourself ... shower with or toss a few shreadings in the laundry (Or slather up that bandana), and you may just be the one they leave alone🤙 If it doesn't work for you then you will be out a Buck Fifty or so but you'll be "Fresh and clean as a whistle" 🎶🎶🎶🤓
I would be happy to take that as a roller semi gloss black 351w and a 4 speed
they should never doubt your ability. I have seen you solve problem others would have walked away from, shoved to the back of the shop and use it for storage of crap.
What happens to the water that gets down in the window area? For both front an rear. I like end result 🙂.
You should always have leaf blower with you.
✌🏻😊
The title is still going to say four-door
What if you need to change the glass later on?
Sparks ain't good for the glass cool build
6:57 look at all the rust spots across the front the of the car. It hasn't aged well at all.
Thanks This The Great Video & Channel ! I Have a Same Car Channel too , From Finland ! Have : American Car , Vintage Car , Muscle Car , Truck , Van , Cruising ,.... #Retired4You
I applaud his efforts and his vision. However, I would NEVER have a car, classic & otherworldly, be “slammed” to the ground at all. In my opinion & experience, once someone decides to do so, they’re asking for all the problems, stress, etc, that WILL pop up once it’s done. You’re just ASKING for trouble. Within a month or two, back into the repair shop it goes. You want to ride something THAT lowered..,go on out & buy yourself a skateboard!!!
These cars are for going to shows and cruise nights.
So why not make it a 2 door with gull wing doors? Now you have a piece of art.
Not sure about the corner Dimensions but it looks as if you could just flip the back window over
How are you not destroying the glass by welding around it like that? I did this on my truck and totally destroyed the glass with spatter....
Ian now your this far , gull wing doors
Your show is cool, But. Whenever you weld, You need to use a "Fire Blanket" or an old apron or welding jacket... The splatter, Will burn the glass.
Dab some vanilla extract behind your ears and the bugs/flies will leave you alone
I'm kinda glad the they are only doing a three inch chop. Because someone designed the car to have a field of vision so the driver can plainly see out of the car through the window. And to chop it too much would, or might present a vision loss that might hinder the driver's capacity to see what's coming down the road if he needs to perform a turn.. and correctly judge the speed of other vehicles on the road?
I know that somebody had a 56 Chevy two door post why aren't you guys fixing that up then I noticed a 55 station why not fix light up
I absolutely cringe when I see cutting and welding being done right next to unprotected glass
When an anonymous dog walks up to you and drops a ball in front of you, you don’t just walk away you pick up that ball up and you throw it. what really were you thinking sir? Dear lord some people’s children…smh 🤣😉
I like this guy .He does amazing work ! The other guy you have on u tube is a hack . tweeker or and X. Can't even say car to him their kaws. Won't say any names . but I will not watch his channel this one I will not miss!!!!!
find a crusher and put both cars in. throw the switch.
I see the old bloke's got the ANF on his T-Shirt
A 1 day conversion from 4 door to a 2 door 😂
No spark paper
he is the last ,not the first to do this..
Great conversion. (
Sorry id tell the customer to take his check book and project and please leave
He's a Wild horse no reins allowed. Why do people come to you then they don't want to do the things you suggest?
Remember bill you were going to sell the car
But on the inside its still a rust bucket..
you do some good work, but leave the customer drama at home, it's been done to death....
No entiendo bien ingles
I think one you guys will wake up and say What have we done, no more original cars left , some times you have to say enough is enough I'm not knocking these truly talented people but it time to stop , Just my opinion 👍🏻
Los menores de edad no pueden tomar bebidas de adultos
50-70's cars were when cars had style and imagination today they are all blue prints of each other no body lines they all look alike you can't tell the difference between a ford car or a Chevy Back in the day you could every year every car had it's own personality and design they have lost the best parts about a car it's ashame, I don't know why folks buy them today other then necessity they are all junk and cost half a fortune to fix.
As we all know, a man wears a hat. Any chopping need to deal with that fact. You need your head, and a hat to fit in it.
Hope your got a lot of bog😢😢😢😢😢
Might be simpler just to build a car from scratch. Putting that glass below the body line is not something I like to see.
I enjoying the videos, but talking with people, we are not ignorance doesn't work.
The back story is BS you sure it’s just the back story ??
I would have turned it into a 2 door post. Left the roof alone. Spraying primer over surface rust...lazy as hell
Fun watch but... it's pure junk at best. Put a thick paint job on it, park it in the dark, use it for 2 years until its too ugly to drive
No menores de edad yo nomas quiero seguir cotorrear yo también tengo hijos y no me gustaría que los vieran con malos hojos
the back story is complete BS
I haven't watched this yet but I can just imagine how this clown will screw up another beautiful automobile!
You talk like people are ignorant. I don't like it. Wouldn't promote it.
Sorry I don't watch anything with Ian cause his wife took over videoing. Not about her, it's about Ian
Ian what can you do about the music , terrible.
Sorry Ian we are just to old for this, 35 years in auto body trade. Get someone younger.
Don't call yourself a sheet metal fabricator no English wheel no metal stretcher or stringer or power hammer good custom ideas but shoddy body work and poor welding only good for yard art
Show your projects with all the goods and perfection?
Your a dumbass uneducated fool
He has those at his shop, he's working with even less than usual at another guy's garage
And he's still better than 90% of the other California builders, most of whom don't know what an English wheel even is...
@@matarapaul I'm not a sheet metal worker or fabricator buy i know what one is
The kid has zero experience. ..get rid of him before he causes a bigger problem
You could have got scrap value out of it men's at all them damn four doors are worth is scrap
When we were teenagers we would cut the top off of a car and just call it an air buggy
Turn it into a ragtop and forget about it.
ill tell you what all that glass is fucked now slag burns all over it fast isnt always good
