We've been watching his chrome cr show for years!He makes cool custom cars,trikes etc..does anyone else watch it?

A few times. He's good at making something out of what is available on the cheap. I did like the one episode where they made the acrylic bubble roof for the t-bird roadster. Did not care for the car, but liked the process.

Yeah, I watch it. He's become a better fabricator since his early days. Enjoy his sense of humor.
Some of his projects are pretty weird, but some are quite interesting.

Ian seems talented, artistic, likable and humble. No fabricated drama or tight-shirt women. I watch it frequently and can hardly believe it's on TV.

Been watching it from the beginning. Always liked the show but I wish he would build fewer VWs. Big Daddy Roth used them a lot I guess, but he should use different chassis each time.

Yes love his show. No drama like most of the other shows. I have learned a lot from viewing his show.

I've never heard of him, let alone saw anything on T.V. about a show with him in it

I think he use to host the extreme 4x4 show on spike TV

I DVR Full Custom Garage, watched it tonight.

I believe you're thinking of Ian Johnson who host Four Wheeler, he did a different 4wd show before that.

Attached Pic is Ian Johnson.

Youtube link is Ian Rousell

This is one good reason to watch it! Like the show and interesting builds. I think some of them could have had a better job on the paint work though.

I love Ian's work,he has inspired me to push my limits and increase my skills!

That 4x4 guy makes me want to punch the TV.

Years ago people thought I was him Lol

The fact he is friends with Gene Winfield is all I needed to know that he was the real deal.
I like that he is not afraid to tear apart one of his older builds to do something new with it. Nothing is sacred to him. Early on I thought some of what he did looked sketchy, but I think they just cut and chopped for time.

Yeah he's friends with alot of older customizers.He just did a wild trike with a younger customizer.And got paint from Dennis Roth,and Ian's wife helped him paint the trike.Pretty wild bike!

It was fun to see Dennis basically channeling his Dad.
A couple of our neighborhood kids served in the Army at the same time as Dennis, and became friends.
He used to give us Roth stuff back in the day; I think I still have it somewhere.

Yes I have watched him for quite a while.

Strange that his new season was on MotorTrend TV (cable) before I was on MotorTrend+ (paid streaming).

Is Gene Winfield stii alive?
I met him at a Route 66 Reunion in Barstow, CA a long time ago (mid to late 1970s), I heard that he ended up opening up a shop in California, City CA later around the mid 1990s
I'm 77 yrs. old and he was at least 20 yrs. older than me

yes at 95 yrs old

And still building cars.

Be Cool To See What He Could Do With A Challenger vert.
Be worth giving him mine. Can you chop a Convertable? Shorten? 4x4?

Ian seems to pick cars that need to be customized/modified,a Challenger convertible isn't one of them.

I used to see a 70 Challenger convertible(painted plum crazy) on a 4X4 frame back in the 80/90's in the south jersey area. It was at mopars at Englishtown also a few times. Seen it parked at a few places back then but wondered what ever happened to it. It was hard to miss it was on large tires.

I remember seeing it as well,even then it was a travesty!

I saw that car years ago at a shop in deptford south jersey.I heard it was sold and the person turned it back to a normal challenger.

Sure it is. It is a car and cars get modified. They were from the day they were sold. Why stop now?
Just an old car no better than any other.

That's great to hear that it was saved!

It is your car to do as you see fit,but I have two of them and I wouldn't do any modifications that involve cutting and changing the dementions of the body! Some things the factory got right,the convertible Challenger is one of them! I just sawed a big hole in the roof of a perfectly good 70 Charger R/T,so i'm not a prude about modifications!

I was glad to hear it was saved too!

Cool looking mopar!

If I happen to catch an episode while channel flipping I'll watch it. He makes some different rides for sure.

I like to watch Ian, very talented guy. It would be fun to sit down with him and have a couple beers.

A older bearded gentleman showed up on the newest episode of Ian's show,he was to be a new inspector. Ian showed him how to weld.Funny cool guy he wound up being too my shock.. David Letterman!

My favorite episode was when he did that old clapped out

Tonight he had the early A Body on the lift in the back ground. The fadded Tan-Gold one he worked on in.the past.
Wonder if he is going to do more to it down the road.
Don't worry he was just putting Camaro 1968 tail lights in a Corvair.

I think that was the Ford Falcon he did a couple of years ago

It might be as I looked at it again,man the desoto,Ford etc mix is pretty cool!

Watched the one with him chopping the top of a Henry J project a few days ago. Lotta work, but he makes it look easy.
