American Chopper - Season 3

""The American chopper meets the American muscle car..."" Truer words were never spoken as the Teutel men head down to Dallas, Texas to check out Mustang legend, Carroll Shelby's show room and race track. Proposed with the idea of making a chopper based on Carroll Shelby's Mustang hot rods, Paul Jr. nails out some of the finer points of the bike, and calls for some of the most extensive fabrication to date.

It's moving day for OCC when the guys move out to a bigger facility closer to Montgomery, New York. The final stages of fabrication on the Carroll Shelby Bike become complicated when Keith has the equipment moved right out under Vinnie and Rick's noses. After moving into the bigger facility, the bike snaps together but when engine problems similar to those that plagued the Comanche threaten to pull the plug on this Mustang-inspired masterpiece for its unveiling at a Las Vegas auto show. Episode Highlights: -Gus locks Paul Sr. out of his Hummer. -Mikey and the guys trash the old shop. -Paul Sr. runs his Expedition through the old shop. -New York Governor George Pataki visits the new OCC shop.
