Full Custom Ian is the official YouTube channel of Ian Roussel, master metal fabricator, custom car builder, and the star of Full Custom Garage. This channel is dedicated to true custom car builds, hand-built fabrication, and one-off automotive projects created entirely from scratch—without relying on bolt-on parts, CAD design, or modern shortcuts. With over 20 years of experience in custom car fabrication, Ian Roussel is known for building hot rods, rat rods, classic cars, and fully custom vehicles that many consider impossible. His work focuses on visualization, problem-solving, and old-school craftsmanship, transforming raw metal, scrap materials, and unconventional parts into fully functional custom cars. Influenced by legendary builders such as Gene Winfield, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, and George Barris, Ian carries forward the tradition of traditional custom cars and hot rod culture.

WE’RE BACK! 🛠️📦
After taking a few weeks off to finally finish up our big move out of California, we are officially back in the shop this week with some fresh content!
These past two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind, but taking that time to prioritize ourselves and each other was exactly what we needed to get through such a massive transition.
Thank you so much for sticking with us while we were away. Your patience and support mean the world to us. We are happier, more inspired, and ready to get back to creating! Get ready for some killer new videos coming your way soon. 🏎️💨

We’re officially 50% there! 🌵🛠️
Life is a bit of a whirlwind right now! Ian is back in California packing up the final heavy hitters from the old shop, while Jamie is holding down the fort here in Arizona, unpacking boxes and keeping the dogs settled.
It’s a lot of work, but seeing views like this makes it all worth it. Check out this incredible desert rainstorm sunset we caught from the new spot! ⛈️🌅
We’re aiming to be back in the shop and filming by sometime next week. Huge thanks to all of you for sticking with us during this move. We can't wait to show you the new setup!
See you all soon!
