Just like watching American Chopper ten years ago, I can appreciate the incredibly skilled metal artist. As a motorcyclist, I can't relate in any way to what they build as 'bikes', but I recognize they have true talent.

Yeah, I used to watch that too. And after a while, I realized that somebody was doing the fabrication, but I'm not sure it's who they claimed it to be. I used to watch Ass Monkey Garage too, until the drama became too much to bear. Overhaulin' was the only one that I believe was BS free. Chip Foose is an amazing artist, on paper and sheet metal. He actually was in there with the worker bees doing what needed to be done. I know a d-bag that owned a Foose 'Cuda. Amazing build quality. Actually looked better in person than the cars on the show.

It was shown here too, didn’t like any of them. But I was the only one, until drama took over that is (like sierra said).

There was once an episode of Mythbusters where they spent a monumental amount of time and effort to prove that you could actually polish a turd to a mirror finish. It was a great metaphor for the entire mid 2000's reality TV driven chopper building craze.

They also arrived here, but of all of them, the designs that I liked the most were always the ones from Kindig it Designs,….minimalist….it's a shame they haven't made motorcycles

I haven't watched his. Foose's show isn't on anymore, and Ass Monkey soured me on car shows. So . . . .
