The knuckleheads at OCC are having their holiday event tomorrow (Saturday Dec 12th). I heard that Paul Sr will be signing autographs sometime between 1 and 3.

Sorry but I don't support these guys but many do so I figured I'd let the group know.

From a local's perspective, they are a local business (Orange County Iron Works) that struck it rich with the Discovery Channel. We asked them to help little kids for a non for profit org back in 2005 and all they wanted to know is how much they would get paid. They lost the local community's respect.

P.S. Paul created and installed the railings on my neighbor's porch back in 1996.

 

They are knuckleheads, but for something cooler Rockwell Cycles down the road is doing a similar thing. Cooler people and some serious toys-I'd much rather drool over some Bimotas than the OCC stuff.

 

OCC and American Hot Rod (Boyd Coddington) are/were shows with disfunctional staff building motorcycles/cars. I could take the shows in small amounts, but no steady diet.

Wrecks to Riches isn't quite as bad, but I'd never purchase one of his SMC vehicles. The finished products looks good, but seeing how much repair/fabrication they do on their projects to build them, I'd question the quality once the cars are finished.
