🚀 Wheelie Popping UFO Trike Build (VW Powered) | Ian Roussel Full Custom Garage What happens when Ian Roussel of Full Custom Garage builds a wheelie-popping UFO trike powered by a VW engine… in the Arizona desert? 👽🔥 This playlist follows the full journey of one of the wildest custom builds to ever hit the shop—an out-of-this-world, alien-inspired trike motorcycle that blends old-school fabrication with pure imagination. No CAD. No templates. Just raw metal, instinct, and years of hands-on experience. From repairing damaged front forks to completely rethinking the structure, fabricating parts from scratch, and dialing in that insane wheelie stance—this is the real behind-the-scenes process most builds never show. If you love: • Custom motorcycles & trikes • VW engine swaps & air-cooled builds • Old-school metal shaping & fabrication • Rat rods, hot rods, and one-of-a-kind creations • Wild, experimental builds you won’t see anywhere else …you’re in the right place. This is more than a build—it’s a no-rules, Area 51-inspired custom creation coming straight out of Ian’s new Arizona shop. 👉 Start from the beginning and watch this UFO trike come to life, piece by piece. #IanRoussel #FullCustomGarage #VWTrike #CustomMotorcycle #TrikeBuild #AirCooledVW #CustomFabrication #ArizonaDesert #HotRodCulture #RatRod #MetalShaping #OneOfAKindBuild #UFOBuild

Building a Wheelie-Popping VW Trike from Scratch! (It’s Finally DONE) We finally did it. The wheelie-popping UFO VW Trike is officially running, driving, and pulling the front wheels off the ground! This channel isn't about bolt-on parts or detailing trailer queens. This is raw, ground-up custom metal fabrication—the place where crazy ideas are sketched out, cut from raw steel, welded, and wrestled into reality right here in the shop. It might not be rolling onto the lawn at the fanciest car show in town just yet, but the proof of concept works, it's alive, and it does exactly what we set out to build: pure, unfiltered fun. We spent over a week in the shop cutting, welding, troubleshooting, and filming to get this build wrapped up and packaged tight for you. Custom fab takes time, sweat, and a stubborn refusal to quit when things don't fit on the first try.
