This build started as a forgotten 1968 Volkswagen Beetle sitting in Long Beach, California… but in Ian Roussel’s world, nothing stays stock for long.

Ian has had a lifelong obsession with VW Beetles—cutting them up, reshaping them, and turning them into completely unique custom cars. This project was no different. The original vision for the front end was inspired by early Can-Am race cars—low, aggressive, and performance driven.

But after letting the project sit for a few months… something changed.

A new wave of inspiration hit—this time from legendary German industrial designer Luigi Colani, known for his organic, futuristic, flowing designs. The shift was so strong that Ian made a bold decision:

👉 He scrapped his original custom front end completely… and started over.

In this episode, you’ll watch Ian step fully into the world of automotive sculpture, shaping a one-of-a-kind VW Beetle front end using nothing but imagination, experience, and raw metal fabrication.

No CAD.
No templates.
No rules.

Just vision and craftsmanship.

Ian Roussel, star of Full Custom Garage, is known for building one-off custom cars from scratch using old-school fabrication methods, raw materials, and pure imagination. Every project proves that creativity matters more than technology.
