+1.... Been a tool Maker since age 13 and I think the unibit was a better and bigger deal than the wheel ... They have a place and are very handy ....

+2 on the unibit I was a body & fender guy for 15 years and that drill saved alot of time. Vinnie was good but what did Cody bring to the table?

+3, I use a unibit if I have to enlarge a hole, I guess that makes us all hacks.

I actually met them a few years ago at Myrtle Beach. They're the most arragant b astards I have ever met. I sent them an e-mail when I got home and told them I was going to take a big crap in the Tee shirt the wife purchased from them and send it back. As far as I'm concerned they can keep they're sorry no good worthless arragant loudmouth a$$e$$ right where they are! If they never venture south again it will be too soon!!!

Watching Paulie Jr. and Sr. is like what you see when someone takes a rattle from a baby that has kept them from crying.

Or like at a little kid's birthday party, and the birthday kid gets a new toy and another kid starts playing with it.

Those two could get jobs in the traveling circus as "The World's Oldest and Biggest Babies".

I just change the channel when those clowns come on.

Jesse James was metal artist and worked the metal the traditional craft way.As many of the biker build off shows when they first started.Then the OCC show like when they threw the bracket on the floor held it with his foot and drilled a hole half assed.If big paul didn't yell and scream at paulie jr then there wouldn't of been a show to begin with.That was the money maker not the crap that they bent with a hammer and bubble gum welded together and unibit butt holed.The only saving grace was the nubs paint jobs,beauty is skin deep or a few mils thick.The only metal that big paul should be designing and working on is REBAR,and i only say that becuase its always incased in concrete.I would only trust him him with footings anyway because they always get buried with dirt.Big Paul with his Old School style....should be old crap style honda 750 four with a 20 foot long front end and his 10 foot high sissy bar with his king and queen seat.This should be the last season , always wanted to see big paul vapor lock when he would blow up at paulie jr.

I agree...This is called 'Residual Income'. Re-runs and new shows generate money pit. The bikes they make and sell making extra money as well as for OCC souvernirs in their websites, their store, and any store such as Wal-Mart, Spencer Gifts and Target.

I often wondered what happened to Vinnie and Cody. Good to see their website and that they're still 'building'.
How does Rick stay in that madhouse? ( all 3 of these men appear to be nice people and talented fabricators.)

How long would you work for Paul Sr.? Years ago you could treat people the way he does....but not today.
Paul Jr. is much like his father....but he is young and might still come 'down to earth'.

I still watch the show because I'm happy to watch anything to do with bikes.

We met them back in 2003 in New York City at the annual motorcycle dealers show. The major dealers show off their new models and some builders were there. The Teutals were there and they were OK, a ton of people around them and no time to just chat. We also met Indian Larry there, he was the man!! Took some pics with him and chatted about bikes, he was like a friend instead of a superstar! We also met Roger Bourget with Dee Schneider a few years later, it was the same thing, pics and bike talk!! The Teutals should take a good look at other builders and take notes!!!
