Bike Building Competition

The Orange County Choppers team challenged two other bike builders to a contest – they competed to build a bike inspired by the T-51 Mustang, a famous plane flown in WWII. OCC competed against Paul Jr. Designs and legendary Jesse James. In a two hour special episode, the three teams worked to build the best machine. OCC actually lost, coming in third place after PJD and then Jesse James.

Rematch time! This time, Paul Junior Designs competed with Jesse James as well as Gas Monkey Garage (from the show Fast N’ Loud) to make a chopper inspired by muscle cars. Jesse James needed several extensions to finish his bike – inspiring a lot of drama. Paul Jr. Designs won yet again, making a bike with an actual grill from a 1939 Chevrolet.
