It's funny that this post should come up, just last night I was thinking what a bunch of talentless butchers those guys are at Coddington. I don't think any better of American Chopper, they don't really build those bikes, they assemble them... pre- made frame, wheels, fenders, tanks, suspension and bolt ons, someone else does the paint (Justin... very talented), they don't even know the first thing about the mechanics of a motor and were lost when they went to S&S to learn some engine building basics.They have great vision but they're not real "custom builders". IMHO, Jesse James has the only real shows of the bunch, that guy has talent and a great attitude (he also started with Boyd)
For the record, Blue Bear is a talentless, immature hack who learnt nothing during his time there, I'm glad he's gone, the painter and the old guy are the only ones with any skill and I'm sure the painter will do much better with Foose (also talented). All these guys advertise themselves well which is the key to their success. Also, I wouldn't consider Boyds wife "trophy" per-say, maybe compared to his ex and for a grubby, whinning prick like him she's not bad. Another great show with some building and fabricating talent is "Biker Build off" but even they are using a lot of "off the shelf" parts (they even use Jesse James fenders and rims !). One of my customers has a car that will be featured in a new custom build show in the new year in a shop in the Bronx and another customer (where I worked for 8 years fabricating) has signed to do a heavy truck build off starting in January, that should be interesting... Oh, and Blue Bear couldn't weld for *****.
