  1. I always liked this one as a kid. Check out the Willys in the background. Both of theses cars are still with us pretty much as you see here.

    I watch his show and I do think he captures that wacky cartoonish, Ed Roth, show rod vibe from the 60's in some of his cars. No high dollar paint or chrome but he does a lot with little resources. He is very creative and has vision for sure, I think he gets a lot of inspiration from Winfield out there in the desert. His cars run and drive.

    Here is Ian Roussel's "Space Junkie"

    He has always interested me, but after watching him for several years, I have come to consider him much more a creative artist than a "Hot Rodder".

    "Doesn't anyone on here watch Ian Rousell on "Full Custom Garage"? He not only is still building them, but he drives 'em on the street."

    I watch his youtube channel. he jumps around alot but i do too. you get more behind the scenes and how he actually builds something not just what the tv channel wants to show, no added fake deadlines or added fake drama you get with tv shows.

    i rarely watch tv anymore, i watch the people that have youtube channels

  5. fuzzface, I don't watch TV either, I too watch youtube instead. I really like the Space Junkie. some guys I've talked to don't like the fin on the bubble, I like it and think it puts the car over the top.
