Taking The Body Off The Custom VW Chassis: Ian Found a Problem!

Taking The Body Off The Custom VW Chassis: Ian Found a Problem! There comes a point in a full custom build where you have to tear it all down to build it right. To get to the underside of this VW race car and tackle the heavy finishing work, the entire body has to come off. It’s backbreaking, laborious work that tests every ounce of patience—the exact phase of a build where so many projects get abandoned. But Ian Roussel doesn’t cut corners. In this episode, Ian dives headfirst into the grind, dialing in the underside metalwork before turning his attention to finishing the exterior lines. That’s when it happened: during the exterior bodywork, Ian caught a subtle mismatch on the car that had slipped past before. When you’re building a one-of-a-kind machine, the details make or break the vision, and leaving it wasn't an option. Sit back for a high-energy fabrication montage, an honest look at the grind beneath the paint, and Ian’s breakdown of what he found and how he plans to fix it! 🚗 SUBSCRIBE for more custom fabrication, garage builds, and custom car updates with Ian Roussel!
