🚀 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 UFO Trike Hydraulic System Gets Real | Ian Roussel's Engineering Challenge Can a custom UFO trike actually lift off its frame? Ian Roussel puts his wild idea to the test using a full lift system mockup with hydraulic rams. Thank you to our sponsor of today's video ANCHORLUBE! Find them on AMAZON https://a.co/d/06hUZ2dt Today in the shop, Ian goes deep into custom fabrication, engineering theory, and real-world problem solving as he builds a functional mockup for his wheelie-popping UFO trike. Using salvaged rams and hands-on fabrication (no CAD, no AI), he explains exactly how the UFO will lift, tilt, and function on the chassis. But like every true custom build… things don’t go as planned. The rams he chose create a serious setback—forcing Ian to rethink, adapt, and overcome in real time. This is where experience, creativity, and persistence come into play. Instead of quitting, he pushes through and completes the mockup to prove the concept and move the build forward. 👍 LIKE • 💬 COMMENT • 🔔 SUBSCRIBE New builds, wild ideas, and real fabrication — only on YouTube #IanRoussel #FullCustomGarage #CustomFabrication #UFOTrike #MetalFabrication #DIYBuild #CustomCars #Welding #HotRod #RatRod #BuildProcess #NoCAD #Fabricator #carculture 👕 Get the Merch: https://roussels-custom-fabrication.myshopify.com/ 📸 Follow Ian and Jamie on Instagram👽 @Full_Custom_Ian @Mrs_Roussel_ 🛠️ Join the Private FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1120180179697223/
