            Ian Roussel who's reality TV show Full Custom Garage that started in 2014 is one of difference and unique imaginative innovation. Specializing in far out custom cars and traditional customs is worth watching. Each episode he takes a old car/truck/motorcycle and makes a cool custom. He makes it look effortless and like anyone can do it with his quiet style and no nonsense approach to his many episode projects.The show is different from more traditional car restoration shows like Chip Fooses' Overhaulin or Dave Kindigs' Kindig It Design. These shows have pristine large shop, facilities full of great tools, a paint booth and huge teams of talented restoration personnel. Full Custom Garage is much more grass roots with the show's synopsis being about one guy, one car, one simple garage with classical techniques creating unique customs.Ians' IMDB popularity rating currently is a whopping 8.7 out of 10. Viewers like this guy and they like this show. What stands out most is his incredible fabrication work which is all in his head and then its translated to each project with custom fabrication and impressive metal work. Chopping, sawing, removing and adding metal on his one of a kind productions. Most other reality car shows of this type start with a fabulous artful color rendition and illustration of the project and then that image is transformed by their huge team at a phenomenal to reflect that design from paper to reality. With Ian and each episode, he simply takes the raw materials, scrap and old car parts from friends and without a tangible blueprint creates the cool custom car. Amazing to watch the thought process and each episode he does a quiet style narrative of the process.This reality show is a journey into the subculture of modern hot rods. A throwback to a time when cars were hand crafted and built to drive and enjoy. No trailer queens here with look way into the past of what custom car building was like in the 40's 50's and 60's. Each episode is an example of what a talented fabricator can create with an idea and a low budget.Ian Roussel resides in Southern California, where his passion with cars began when he was young. He embodies that local world recognized custom car culture. After years and years of experience, he has built his own custom car building garage which then led to his own TV series named Full Custom Garage.Ian is happily married with his sexy wife also an avid fan of custom cars and builds. As a couple who share similar interest and personality, their relationship is bound to be strong and long-lasting. He is a very private person and other than his custom car prowess most other factors about his personal life past and present are somewhat of a mystery. However, the fans don't care as long as they can see each episode with a great California culture creation with a lot of talent and little fanfare. Watching "Full Custom Garage" is a simple and fun to watch with a regular guy with nominal resources getting a lot of attention is his unique and creations you can actually drive. Far from the Kindig and Foose show models of the past and present. - Martin Snytsheuvel
    

Full Custom Garage


            Overhaulin' was an American automotive reality television series that ran for five seasons between 2004 and 2008 on TLC. Then had a four-year hiatus, returning the sixth season on October 2, 2012 on Velocity and Discovery with the final episode airing November 2015. Nine total seasons.The show's hosts varied slightly with the most consistent were automobile designer Chip Foose and his co-host Chris Jacobs. Courtney Hansen was the co-host of the show until 2005, when she left the show to pursue other interests. She was replaced by the shows Executive Producer Brutsman's wife Adrienne Janic ("AJ"). Then Season 6 , Jessi Combs, one of the early A-Team mechanics, returned and co-hosted as well as participated in the the actual projects. Then Combs moved on to All Girls Garage, where Combs left soon after there as well. Arianny Celeste replaced Combs.The show started out with a fun premise where they Overhaulin Staff would seek out an unknowing "victim" - that they called the mark. The "Mark," is one selected of literally thousands of applications/submissions nominated to be "Overhauled" by his or her family or friends, they call them the "Insiders". The Marks's car, usually an old in need of restoration classic car, is obtained through some ruse. In example the car being "stolen" by Chris and Chip, a car being misplaced or lost at a mechanic's shop, or the car being towed away by "police." In the beginning and for most of the shows run the Host and co-host play tricks on the unsuspecting mark, sometimes acting in roles of insurance adjusters or law enforcement agents, other times helping the insider, while Chip Foose and a team of mechanics - dubbed "The A-Team" have taken the vehicle to Chip Fooses Southern California restoration garage and partner facilities. They then with a staff of up to 60 master automotive repair engineers restore the car to better than-new custom condition in about 8 days. Each show ends with the surprise reuniting of owner and newly made-over car who in the early episodes of the show actually felt he or she had lost their car.Later seasons and last shows went with a much simpler procedure and without the unknowing victim just went to the producers deemed worthy candidates and let them know they had been selected for an Overhaulin of there favorite car. This made the program more accessible within the over structure of the show and the quick turn around and delivery of a restored vehicle to its owner. Typical cost to do this kind of a quick transformation would be north of $150,000 per vehicle, an absolutely free no charge restoration for the "Mark."The show was a pioneer in thought, idea and implementation of TV Automotive reality shows. The late Boyd Coddington had an unknown influence where he was a real early TV reality show with his shop activities. Chip Foose had actually been employed by him there before his break away and his own reality show. The quality of Chip Foose as a designer, illustrator, restoration and unique creations expert has earned him an impressive portfolio of automotive works that is difficult to rival. Few automotive shops have the professionalism, quality of work and completion rate of his talents. Although Overhaulin is now a past Reality TV show Chip Foose can still be seen in many other venues. Whether SEMA in Las Vegas or numerous guest appearances at other notable events by this reality likable TV star. Overhaulin is an important foot note in the history of the now very crowed and popular television Automotive reality shows seen on many channels, History, Discovery and Motor Trend to name a few. - Martin Snytsheuvel
