🚀 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

The Moment of Truth: Will Ian Roussel's UFO Mechanism Work? It’s alive! After the doubt started to creep in, Ian Roussel proves why he’s a fabrication legend. Is it genius or madness? Today on Full Custom Garage, the UFO finally takes a turn—literally. Metal fabrication mastermind Ian Roussel is pushing the limits of custom engineering. We’re on day two of the build, and the goal is simple but terrifying: get the massive UFO body to spin on top of an air-cooled VW trike chassis. Custom builds are never easy, but when you’re dealing with the mechanics of a spinning spacecraft on a trike frame, the margin for error is zero. A little doubt starts to creep into the shop—if this mechanism fails, the whole build is back to the drawing board. In this episode: The Engineering: How to make a metal UFO rotate on a VW chassis. The Struggle: Dealing with the weight and balance of "Wild Custom" fabrication. The Moment of Truth: Will the novice UFO engineer's design actually hold up? "No one said wild customs were easy, especially when you're trying to defy physics."
