Well, the shop is still open, It's about 5 miles from some of my inlaws.

nice short wheelbase....gotta swap out the buggy springs for some coilovers, though.
In regards to AC- I liked the show. Sure it was crap, and the bikes were god-awful, and the Teutuls are scumbags, but- it was cheap entertainment, Nub does killer paintwork, and occasionally something cool was on there. It was hard to deny Rick's metal fab ability, or Jr.s ability to make E36 M3 wheels.
Paul Sr, with his muscles always hanging out of the sleeveless shirts, seemed like he might've enjoyed "unwinding" at the "leather bar" after work. Just sayin'.
I guess I'm wired a little differently than other people. My reaction to the entire "celebrity fabricator" thing was wanting to learn to make things myself instead of watching others. Some people responded to shows like that by buying t-shirts. I bought a Ron Covell book.

the guy just likes sleeveless shirts.. nothing wrong with that.. at least give him credit for not being one of those guys that has to have his arms sleeved with tattoos to show how much of a badass he is.
I only watched it for the fab work/ ideas. All the drama ruined it for me.
I will not miss it.

On an unrealted note. Whenever the kids and I drive out to Mid Ohio we usually see a couple of Amish wagons on the road. One time this year my 9 year old said " Dad, look its and Amish sports car" refering to something similar to what is in the pic. I about died laughing.
I have seen a few of the project bikes from OCC at car shows and such. Granted, these were older ones, but I thought their attention to detail was lacking. Weld splatter, visible zip ties, touch-ups. The bikes Jessie was putting out at the time were in a different league.
Replaced with a GRM reality show?
the 20XX challenge... we follow several teams from inception to the end of the challenge. The skills, the Drama, the carnage...
nelsons, hongs and Bryce....epic entertainment.

That. Same here, got me interested in the whole bike/car custom modification thing.
