Anyone watch them build the bikes tonight? Tomorrow night is the Live reveal and vote results. American Chopper got canceled, so this is the last bikes we’ll see from OCC and PJD.

Can’t find any pictures except for Paul Jr. and Senior

Here’s Paul Jr.'s bike. I gotta say its the best I’ve seen him build. Ever. He used a classic car grill and the bike is based on a classic car theme. Love the red wheels.

I’m impressed that all the builders stretched out of their comfort zone. Senior machined an entire frame, gas tank and fenders all out of a block of aluminum. Then he had it anodized for a finish. Nice, and it’s not the typical chopper OCC builds.

Gas Monkey took a classic Harley and customized it. I’m not sure that really counts as building a bike. But that’s what they are bringing.

Jesse James - finally used a different frame profile. For him that’s a stretch. As usual he hand built all the parts. He didn’t finish by the deadline and they gave him two extra weeks. He still didn’t finish by that new deadline. Lets hope its finished tomorrow night.

Vinnie posted a great shot of the PJD build off bike. You can really see the vintage car grill. Fat wall tires. Didn’t notice the red chain before. 4 pipe collector manifold. Wow. Don’t tell my wife, but I’m in love. :smiley: That’s just bad ass.

Discovery is rerunning the Biker Build off 6-8pm Central. Then 8-9:30 is the Live reveal from Vegas.

The last one. :frowning: AC is canceled and no more. Ten years of my life have been spent watching the show. I suspect PJD and OCC won’t last long without a show. Nearly all their chopper builds are for tv.

[SPOILER]Paul Jr wins again. I’m not surprised. His bike this year was obviously a lot better than last years. Thats two wins in a row for PJD.

Jesse shot himself in the ass by missing two different deadlines. He did have a good bike, but geez he had double the time as everyone too.

Can’t believe the Gas Monkey guys got 2nd place for a custom job. They were supposed to build a bike.

Senior should have taken 2nd place. The machine work cutting that frame and tank out of aluminum was very impressive.

Paul Jr. has been asking people to tweet discovery and support a new show featuring PJD. They got such an awesome crew that I’d love seeing them build bikes for another season or two. No more OCC or Senior.
