The Orange County Choppers team decided to go head to head with two other competing bike builders in a contest. This event involved the building of a bike inspired by the look of the T-51 inspired Mustang, a well-known plane known for being flown in WWII.
Unfortunately, they ended up placing third after Paul Junior Designs and Jesse James.
Paul Sr.’s TV Career
Paul Sr. was actually pretty experienced when it came to television.
In fact, he’s made appearances on shows that include Like My Name Is Earl, King of the Hill, and also in the music video for “Rock Star” by Nickleback!
International Popularity
Although the show is called American Chopper, it actually has a crazy international fan base! Paul and the OCC crew, therefore, have the opportunity to travel around the world to create choppers for fans!
Just to illustrate further just how big the show became, Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, former Brazilian Prime Minister, is a big fan of the show, too!
Competition: 2.0
The OCC boys didn’t back down, though! This rematch instead involved Paul Junior Designs competing against Jesse James and Gas Money Garage in the creation of a chopper inspired by muscle cars.
Yet another blow to the OCC team, Paul Jr. Designs ended up winning again with their creation of an actual grill from a 1939 Chevrolet. Bummer!
Paul Jr.’s Generosity
Paul Jr. has always dedicated his time and effort towards charities, but he’s especially into ones that involve dogs! In fact, he owns two adopted dogs of his own! He even went as far as constructing a new dog park for his community in Montgomery, New York.
His crew was in full support of his cause and donated more than $50,000 to his cause.
