This is a cool idea and all and like most people have said it's pointless for a bike your going to ride which just about anyone who owns a bike is going to do. I am a metal fabricator, have been for 15 years. I built custom 3d flames for front and rear fenders for bikes, even made a custom gas tank that had 3d flames that raised up off of the tank and sunk down in to it long before these idiots started "building" 3d flamed items but I didn't have the expensive tools that they have. I did it all with air body saws and die grinders and I think that not only did mine look better, they didn't interfere with the rider in anyway. When this show first started out they did some cool work but once they became famous or popular it went to their heads. They stopped building bikes and started building statues of what resembled a bike. They quickly became a shop that went from building bikes to a shop that payed other's to build a bike for them to sell. Paul Jr. can out build, out fabricate Paul Senior with ease. You should realize how much of an ass and a fool you are when your children don't want anything to do with you.
@TTGT50 That doesnt negate from the fact hes a terrible boss. Like you said, its the money, they'd also get paid for being on t.v. so the money would be better than a standard fabrication job. If not for the money, I doubt anyone would work for this arrogant prick.
@TTGT50 yes and no. At a normal job,you leave when you want. This wasn't a normal ob though. I would be willing to bet that there was contracts for most of those guys there. At least the on camera ones. So there was a chance you were forced to work there until a contract was up.
max webster Why not an English wheel???? same result without the risk of taking your hand off... Probably because dangerous power tools used by imbeciles is more sexy for television.
Most of the bikes they made for they show were never intended to be actually ridden. Just show bikes to take to various corporate sponsor events. Like the tiny fuel tank they made for this bike is enough to take it off the trailer,.fire it up for the crowd and put it away again.
I remember watching this being done back in the day. I have ZERO interest in motorcycles....but I absolutely loved this show. What I didn't like at all....was Jr. I admit to being clueless about the true dynamic of the relationship....but I'm sure of THIS; if I'd EVER spoken to MY Pops the way Jr. spoke to his.....I would have never seen another sunrise. Guaranteed.

Indeed an invisible tank because there is no tank at all!
I had forgotten how un rideable , usable , lookable , and the list could keep going on and on of just how unthinkable they built these time capsules that should never be dug up. The chopper bikes of the 70's had class and were also rideable. These things were just jagged pieces of polished metal that could sever any human limb from just walking by them. I would bet a giant cactus would be much more comfortable to ride than these prickly sharp metal shards sticking out from all directions. Could you just imagine any sudden stop with this tank looking like a cheese grater but much sharper with the flames pointing towards your package? It would cut your whole crotch out to the belly button and those scary handlebars would be sticking out of your skull like jagged metal tree limbs. Every time I see one of these copy cat bikes on the street they always have a forsale sign hanging on them. They were a flash in the pan that should be forgotten and never brought up again. There should be a charity that burries these awkward metal thorn entangled waste of good metal in a secret graveyard that no future generations will ever find.
Rather than cut them out fully on the water jet, they could have programmed the flames to be “break aways”, where they were held in place by small tabs, then finished by hand
I'm assuming the real gas tank was located below the motor in front of the rear fender, in which case the fuel must be pressure fed somehow instead of gravity fed. This is the making of an extremely unreliable chopper.
Wonder if they could have put some type of clear gas resistant maybe plastic inside so you can see the fuel inside sloshing around if that was possible that would have been cool as fuck looking
This a cool idea, but makes me wonder why it wasn't just cut out by hand instead of having to f*ck with a waterjet? Meetings, cooperation, communication, and teamwork is best, in my opinion. Appears this build didn't quite include those thoroughly.
there worried about the flames bounceing around but what happens if you rear end someone if you dont go over the bars you have a nice spikey flame to slam your weight into.
It's all for T.V. Who the hell would pay a lot of money to have their poser bike rushed. Feel bad for the real hardcore chopper riders. The Yuppie wannabes ruined it. The fad is over and most of the companies are bankrupt. Yuppies realized that they don't handle, brake , or are comfortable on long rides. Resale value is pure shit. Real riders don't give a damn about that.
Not knowing much about bike fuel tanks but the should have normalised the steel first. This would have relieved the extra tension in the dimensions of the tank.
Ricks mentality is perfect here. Sometimes what you do doesn’t always work out first time just learn from it and make it better next time. I get Jason’s frustration about not getting it right first time but he needs to accept that fact sooner
yep way back when my 65 Panhead Chopper my first Harley Chopper that's when you chopped everything off that big tugboat and made into a chopper everybody's bike was handmade and look different all totally custom
OCC... we can custom order parts from some of the best bike builders around and on a good day, screw up some pretty good ideas all on our own. We love just doing part of the creative work (just like this half assed video) but charging for all of it. So come on down and see us so we can charge you triple for someone else's craftsmanship too!
Here is a 1972 Harley Davidson Drag Bike going up for sale at the Mecum Auction in Las Vegas January 22-27, 2019.

I forget what it's called, but what cut the tank flames my dad shop has but it's a lot bigger. I wouldn't fuck with one of them in my life time. It shoots deadly water pressure.
These shows always have a "If we don't get this done, we're screwed" line in them don't they?
it's because they have to pay the camera guys to be there and that's expensive. So they say we gotta do this by Friday so they can get the end product on camera, otherwise they gotta pay overtime.

Rick and Mikey made this show. Funniest episode is when Mikey gets his truck stuck in his dads pond haha
Rick is just one of those guys you wish you had a 100 of in any trade.
Sometimes you need a talented guy with a sharpie and a $500 Cobra/Henrob torch to do what a $90K water jet can't.
I’m just saying a machine will never beat a man with creativity, because a man must think of it to program a machine to do
@@peter2213 A water jet doesn't crate anything and neither does a torch. It's a tool. Right tool, right job.

What's the obsession with flames in the US all about? They really aren't as cool as you all seem to think they are...
James Pratt i own a offroad cruiser himlayan royal enfiled 410 cc but not sure if this is safe.
James Pratt You're a real fabricator, not one based off of machhine work.
just when i thought their show is just like a soap opera, this video shows up, and drives it home.
Be way cooler if the tank was just an acrylic tank. See the gas inside. That’s why I clicked to watch.
My thoughts exactly. Acrylic tank inside of the metal flame skeleton
I totally agree with you two. That's why I clicked on this video. A big let down for sure
@@Sig721Tau Yes sir,. me too
shae grover that would be so cool, the only problem is that the fuel would eat away at the acrylic. Kinda sucks cuz it would be awsome!
Fascinating to watch. I've only got a powerplasma cutter but I might try this sometime.
The demise of OCC where these desk jockeys and machines, they had Rick left and that was it.
I remember this video like it was yesterday
Rick might look like a Joe Dirt child that was abandoned in 1983 but the dude has talent. He knows his stuff!
Too bad he waisted his time making useless choppers that couldn’t be driven properly.

Even when this show was on I never could figure out what that kid Jason did.....
Act like a retard
Well if OCC ever comes back maybe they could revisit this idea but actually make a clear gas tank inside of it with plastic
When using a power hammer it is most important to stick your thumbs as far out as possible so the hammer can eat them.

wow you are dark man
Please write a book. I'll buy it.
Ahaaha poetry!
Exactly! Look at jesses bike on the build off it was an actual rideable bike not like the whacked out bike that won
LOLOLOLOLOL................ bye bye BALLS
damn I can see why they went bankrupt . expensive nonessential equipment
Not to mention Sr’s lavish spending.
I saw one of their bikes in person, it was a pile of shit that was only meant to sit there. Horrible construction and I’m sure horribly overpriced.
Rather than cut them out fully on the water jet, they could have programmed the flames to be “break aways”, where they were held in place by small tabs, then finished by hand
newsflash, i can still see the tank therefore it is not invisible.
Rick for the win
Sr. deflated like a balloon immediately after he stopped taking roids/etc.
He is 71 now. He looks really good for his age.
I'm assuming the real gas tank was located below the motor in front of the rear fender, in which case the fuel must be pressure fed somehow instead of gravity fed. This is the making of an extremely unreliable chopper.
I have never seen OCC make a chopper..tons of custom ordered frames and parts..but not 1 single chopper..not ever.
@@800game We would have all been better off if Jesse James did't build a bike either. Let the bikers build their own bikes.
Give me a dremel and a day...
Heck give me a plasma,lol
"Cut the crap and start cutting the tank" the old man always with his wisdom, that's exactly why nobody liked him.
And now they are broke ... Finally ...
cant beleive occ was a thing at one point .. just sayin
It was all jr, He was occ
You were never a thing at any point
Nope i wasent 😪
Why didnt they just cut the fucking tank by hand 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I have a completely invisible bike. I'd show it to you, but what would be the point?
brings back memories of the late 60s back then you built everything by hand with a torch and a hammer he he he
I hope we can find a clear material that can hold gas i would be cool to see the gas through the flames in the tank
What about a glass engine block so can actually see the flames
Wonder if they could have put some type of clear gas resistant maybe plastic inside so you can see the fuel inside sloshing around if that was possible that would have been cool as fuck looking
I would like to see a paint artist be able to paint a tank that appeared to to be transparent.
This a cool idea, but makes me wonder why it wasn't just cut out by hand instead of having to f*ck with a waterjet? Meetings, cooperation, communication, and teamwork is best, in my opinion. Appears this build didn't quite include those thoroughly.
there worried about the flames bounceing around but what happens if you rear end someone if you dont go over the bars you have a nice spikey flame to slam your weight into.
i always wondered why there were allways these deadlines in place to strain the builders and workers....so much bullshit,

EXACTLY RIGHT!

Jason should sue Disney for using his likeness for Ralph in Wreckit Ralph.
I've got to try making one of those invisible gas tanks with my powerplasma cutter.
How's that tank coming along?
No reply for @TheDBCooperforum nearly a year! Bet you never did.

OCC stinks. Rick was the most talented guy over there.
EVERY DESIGN OCC USES ARE FLAME, "V"s OR "Z"s.
Invisible Tank, Invisible business
Everyone that bought one of these ridiculous bikes probably thought they were gonna be great investments.
Well the tank messup was tank size not so much a design. Except for tying the flames in. But Rick's right impossible to get a homerun first try.
Why upload a finished video when u can upload an unfinished one..
Poole acting like he a bike builder lol
So, this may be a silly answer, but why not make a glass tank or something equivalent and just paint flames on it?
Because if it breaks when dropped its a safety hazard?
Good job

ballistics acrylic tank and the shell of this would look cool
If it's see through then at least put a perspex tank inside it, this is just stupid
Can’t tell you how much I don’t care once I saw OCC I was over it.
wouldn't dry sand have been better in the tank to prevent over cut ??
Scooter 101 dry sand under that kind of pressure would create too much dust and debris!
They should have used pea gravel. Aside from the fact that this tank is the stupidist thing I've ever seen.
Each and every one of their bikes are hideous
Richard keith yup...Paul jr was the heart ofvthe CO
And dangerous.
I'm with you.
Garbage, waste of material.
Impressive god job sir
I feel like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas
Just shit in the tank😅😂 lol
That was the nicest invisible gas tank I have ever seen
Flow Show don't you mean you have never seen?
Eye protection not required while standing around a jet of water that can cut through metal.
They can achieve the same with some good 3d looking paint work !
Yeah...that hammer looks scary when that one guy was on it.
8 minutes of my life wasted
Tyrone Johnstone yep
Only 3 minutes for me. I left
If they would anneal the tank the flame end wouldnt stick out like that
thats not building, thats hacking up a premade tank.
Rick is the best
Your world will implode when the power goes out ...
I never saw the ending. Is there an ending? Or did they failed?
I forget what it's called, but what cut the tank flames my dad shop has but it's a lot bigger. I wouldn't fuck with one of them in my life time. It shoots deadly water pressure.
How do their bikes ever pass engineering standards?
This company still open?
Yet we can still see the tank.
Jesse James is one of the best metal workers in the world. these guys are fucking jokes
My God, "it's a lot thinner than I thought it was" did you fuckin measure it?
If they could mold a perspex tank then shape sheet metal round it it would be able to hold gas and lights inside
Jessie, puts these fools to shame
LOL American Chopper, the nation's premier and ultimate dysfunctional family, loved by millions of dysfunctional Americans.
How can anyone of those guys tolerate the old man. ???
You're fired Jason. !!!!!!!!!-
Great guitar lick at 7:23
Did they actually think it would stay inside if they're cutting it?
Too bad Mike Campo left - he could’ve done the cutouts on that tank like he did the fender for the POW bike.
Expensive trailer queens, or big knick knacks. Useless.
