American Chopper Season 8, Episode 6 "Cadillac Build-Off Part 1"

Cadillac Build-Off Part 1 

Show Summary:

Cadillac enlists both OCC and PJD to build a bike in a father-son build-off. But even as the competition heats up, Senior reaches out to Junior with a second settlement offer...and this time, without lawyers.  American Chopper profiles the lives of New York natives Paul Teutul Sr. and son Paul Jr. of Orange County Choppers (OCC), creators of the world's most outrageous custom motorcycles. Follow the day-to-day drama of this volatile father and son team as they battle impossible deadlines – and… More each other – to push the envelope of motorcycle design and fabrication.

Starting in Season 7, the fighting is taken to new extremes as Senior and Junior duke it out not only as family but as business competitors when Junior opens his own motorcycle shop, Paul Jr. Designs With both Orange County Choppers and Paul Jr. Designs using the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe as inspiration for their bikes, Paul Teutul Jr. calls it “an apples to apples build: Paul Jr. Designs to OCC.”

Unfortunately, Paul Teutul Sr. doesn’t see it that way, saying that this wasn’t a build-off, but that “it was just a bike that we both built for Cadillac.”

Of course, you wouldn’t know that from seeing the episode. From the moment that Paul, Sr. and Paul, Jr. quickly passed each other in the halls at the Cadillac headquarters, everyone – including Senior himself – made it sound like this was very much an OCC vs. PJD event. Even Bob Boniface, Director of Exterior Design at Cadillac, said that everyone at the car company is “expecting a pretty good shoot-out,” but that “nobody is taking sides.”
