A few months ago I did my review on the American Chopper Biker Build Off which featured Jesse James. Last week Jesse James' new show Jesse James Outlaw Garage premiered, I forgot it had been on till it came out but I did get a probability to determine it over the weekend and while Jesse James has engineered cool bikes in the past, none of his shows besides Motorcycle Mania and History of the Chopper have very been that sensible (Monster Garage was ok, had a few smart episodes and the rest of the things wasn't that great).
Once seeing the American Chopper biker build off when I heard regarding Jesse James' new show, I was expecting a show with Jesse James trash talking and bitching about one thing left and right. I wasn't expecting a high quality show. However what we tend to got from Jesse James and Austin Speed Shop could be a Motorcycle Mania like show except for Ancient Hot Rodders!
The Show is regarding Jesse and therefore the Austin Speed Look doing different Hot Rod builds done in an exceedingly Traditional (1964 and older) vogue. The premier episode Jesse James had to create a Hot Rod for The Bonnie & Clyde Reliability Run. They chose do build a 32 Ford but do it in a Prewar Hot Rod style meets Gangster car.
During the episode, most of the show focused on the build from the planning, to finding and salvaging parts, making parts and putting the rod together. (For all you traditional guys the engine on the Ford may be a Flathead)! The show also spent a heap of your time focusing not on just Jesse but the builders at the Austin Speed Search such as the Co Owner of the speed search Bob, the mechanic Luke, the welder Patrick and the full crew of Austin Speed Search.
Now in fact there have been a few things I did not like concerning the show, that I hope gets neglected of future episodes. One of the items was some Drama in an exceedingly subplot (for lack of a better word) where the welder Patrick didn't show up to work because he had a tattoo appointment. Now whether or not this very did happen and it was reality tv moment will we tend to as fans not have it within the show it interrupts the flow of the show and it does not add something simply wastes two mins. The alternative criticism I had was in the start of the show Jesse claims to not have faith in in his builders and is not positive if they might be ready to induce the build done in a very month. That extremely doesn't do anything for the show either, it just wasted five minutes that might of been shown on welding, or the build. Therefore lets simply leave this drama out of future episodes.
Besides the minor drama movements most of the shows time is spent centered on the builds and the hot rods themselves like how a show should be done. The solely things I think the show is missing is Social Distortion playing (Machine Gun Blues ought to of been played) and perhaps some the way to's like in Motorcycle Mania where we tend to learned how to form a gas tank.
Overall though I gotta say if you're an admirer of Jesse James, cars, and especially if you're an exponent of Ancient Hot Rods you will love this show.
