RevTimKing: Mike Campo has an artistic ideal completely different from Paul Jr.'s genius. Any plans to let him do his own bike?
Paul Sr: No.
Paul Jr: Mike Campo's free to do whatever he wants.
nicole427: Paulie, is it hard to concentrate in the shop with cameras on you all the time?
Paul Jr: No, not at all. The first couple weeks of filming were awkward, going from someone who didn't even like his picture being taken to being on film all day long with cameras in your face. But it gets to be a natural environment.
hot_occ_chic: If you were not in the business you are in, what do you think you would be doing now?
Paul Jr: Making railings.
Paul Sr: We'd still be in the steel-fabricating business, because it still exists.
Paul Jr: My brother Danny runs the steel shop now, and it's still running strong.
softtailg: Do you guys still have your bull mastiff?
Paul Sr: Yes, I do. He's sitting right next to me right now. Looking for a female.
Paul Jr: He is.
OCC_rules: Are Danny and Kristin into choppers also?
Paul Sr: No.
mike: What happened to the old OCC shop? Is it still being used? Did the ironworks move, too?
Paul Sr: No, it still exists. The ironworks is still there, and the existing shop that we had before is used for storage.
britannic: How long does it take to do a project?
Paul Jr: About three weeks for a project.
jsterling: Does the fame make it hard to live in a small town?
Paul Sr: No, not too bad.
Paul Jr: For me, the beauty of where we live is that I've lived here for my entire life. We knew everybody in the area before we got famous. So it's the only place I could ever call home as far as I'm concerned.
adam052174: Have you ever thought of doing an American Choppers Apprentice? It would put Donald Trump to shame.
Paul Sr: (laughing)
Paul Jr: It's a funny concept, but we're going to stick to doing what we do best. And we still put Donald Trump to shame. ;-)
Genx: This one is for Paul Sr. I am now way skilled enough to build a bike, but what advice would you give to someone who is looking to start a business of their own (an auto body shop)?
Paul Sr: Keep on keeping on. Perseverance.
Paul Jr: Don't take any wooden nickels.
Discovery says: Thanks for a wonderful chat! Unfortunately, we are almost out of time. Do you have any parting words for us?
Paul Jr: We love our fans. We have the most loyal and faithful fans. It blows us away every time.
Paul Sr: We're really appreciative of our fans.
