Jesse James Outlaw Garage

Some 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 absolutely was on until it came out however I did get a chance to work out it over the weekend and while Jesse James has designed cool bikes within the past, none of his shows besides Motorcycle Mania and History of the Chopper have extremely been that smart (Monster Garage was ok, had some sensible episodes and the remainder of the things wasn’t that nice).

Once seeing the American Chopper biker build off after I heard about Jesse James’ new show, I was expecting a show with Jesse James trash talking and bitching about something left and right. I wasn’t expecting a quality show. However what we got from Jesse James and Austin Speed Search may be a Motorcycle Mania like show but for Ancient Hot Rodders!

The Show is about Jesse and the Austin Speed Look doing different Hot Rod builds done during a Ancient (1964 and older) style. The premier episode Jesse James had to make a Hot Rod for  The Bonnie & Clyde Reliability Run. They selected do build a thirty two Ford but do it during a Prewar Hot Rod style meets Gangster car.

During the episode, most of the show centered on the build from the look, to finding and salvaging parts, making elements and putting the rod together. (For all you ancient guys the engine on the Ford may be a Flathead)! The show additionally spent a ton of time focusing not on just Jesse however the builders at the Austin Speed Look such as the Co Owner of the speed shop Bob, the mechanic Luke, the welder Patrick and the entire crew of Austin Speed Shop.

Now in fact there were some things I did not like about the show, that I hope gets left out of future episodes. One in all the items was some Drama in an exceedingly subplot (for lack of a higher word) where the welder Patrick didn’t show up to figure as a result of he had a tattoo appointment. Now even if this extremely did happen and it was reality tv moment will we as fans not have it in the show it interrupts the flow of the show and it doesn’t add something just wastes a pair of minutes. The other criticism I had was in the beginning of the show Jesse claims to not place confidence in in his builders and isn’t sure if they’d be ready to get the build done in a very month. That really does not do anything for the show either, it simply wasted five minutes that would of been shown on welding, or the build. So lets simply leave this drama out of future episodes.

Besides the minor drama movements most of the shows time is spent focused on the builds and the new rods themselves like how a show should be done. The solely things I assume the show is missing is Social Distortion playing (Machine Gun Blues should of been played) and perhaps some how to’s like in Motorcycle Mania where we tend to learned how to make a gas tank.

Overall though I gotta say if you’re a friend of Jesse James, cars, and especially if you are a friend of Ancient Hot Rods you’ll love this show.
