Had never watched the show until recently.
This Ian Roussel guy is damn talented and a pretty ingenious craftsman.
Plus he's got one damn cool dog(and now a new rescue too):cool:

Watched many episodes and always amazed at what he comes up with. He is a local guy to the Southern California area so surprised have not seen him or any of his projects at the car shows I've been to.

The fact he does it all without all the fancy tools/machines truly highlights his talents.

He seems to frequent the Pamona swaps

I have been watching his shows for a few years. What he does is interesting. Sometimes a little too weird for me.

Exactly why I like it. I will keep an eye out for him next time I'm in Pomona.

I've enjoyed quite a few of his episodes.
The one where he does custom work on the Chevy Impala and he goes cruizin Van Nuys was cool.
The dog is really chill.

I really enjoy watching Hand built Hot Rods. The talent and execution are incredible on that team.

He's done some nice stuff, no question, but Steve's personality strikes me oddly.

Ian Roussell seems rough sometimes but I get that he makes the quality of the build fairly equal, not a bunch of shiny here and weld slag there...

Steve I think is amazing! I really like that he is into the minutae and "did it the way XXXX would have if they'd thought of it.". I also like the way he partners with craftsman and listens to their takes, vs "here, do this" like some other shows.
