Default OC Choppers 57 Chevy Bike

I know not everyone likes OC Choppers, but on HD Theater the other night they premiered the new season.
They built a bike that was supposed to look like a 57 Chevy.
It was a highly entertaining episode.
The bike was a bear to build, looked kind of crazy and cool when it was finished.

I saw that episode too. Must say the 57 Fin back fender looked kind of cool. It was all kind of molded, wasn't it? From the headlight through to the back fender.
I've never seen an OCC bike up close. I wonder how many flaws are thoughout it, if any. Just seems to be sometimes a "rushed job".

I saw loads of OCC bikes at their stand at Daytona a couple of weeks ago.

The quality all looked good to me. Admittedly they were production bikes though so I guess they need to meet some sort of standards!

They did however have one of their theme bikes on display (Aaron Industries) and I gotta say - it looked good...

Sorry, not a fan of the idiot antics or the quirky looking bikes.
