Ya and what does Jesse do? Sell it on Barret Jackson after he said he would "take this one to the grave". Whatta way to show appreciation to the legends. I guess he got pussy whipped by Man Von D.

@punkazzgearhead

Really? I would love to have a car like that, I guess when you have so many toys it is easy to sell one off.

[krookedKiller13]

Is that the same 54 that he had all flat black? It had "Fuckinitupagain" on the trunk lid

@krookedKiller13

Any body know the song when they are pulling the chevy out of the garage?

@timboz1986

my guess is that it is some royalty free music that TV producers use to keep production costs down.

Jesse James is the shizzle. Love the rods and bikes he builds.
