🚀 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

Will This UFO Even Work?! Building the Ring with NO PLAN What happens when you build a UFO… with ZERO plans? 👀 In today’s episode, Ian Roussel takes on one of the most critical pieces of his wild wheelie-popping UFO trike — the custom ring that will support the UFO body itself. No CAD. No AI. No blueprint. Just raw fabrication, critical thinking, and the willingness to fail… and try again. This is where custom car building gets REAL. Will the ring work the way Ian imagined? Or will he have to scrap it and go back to square one? Building something this unique means thinking through every angle — structure, balance, weight, mounting points — all while creating something that has never been done before. Some days in the shop are tough… but showing up and pushing forward is what separates dreamers from builders. And Ian? He never quits. 👉 If you’ve ever chased an idea that felt crazy… this one’s for you. 🔥 In This Video: Custom fabrication of the UFO support ring Real problem-solving with no templates Old-school building techniques (no shortcuts) The reality of trial and error in custom builds Behind-the-scenes of the UFO trike project 💥 Follow the full build series here: More episodes of the UFO Trike + VW Le Mans Inspired Build dropping weekly! 👇 JOIN THE COMMUNITY What would you do… Stick with your original idea or start over if it wasn’t working?
