History of West Coast Choppers:

Jesse James formed West Coast Choppers over ten years ago and it has taken a life of its own. First it grew into a hand-picked 50-man team in an 18,000 square foot shop. Their work focused primarily on motorcycles (hence the name.) Today it sprawls over 250,000 square feet in industrial Long Beach, a series of art-deco warehouses that were simultaneously restored and modified to fit operations. It was only a matter of time before West Coast Choppers expanded beyond the bikes. The cars have always been a part of the landscape and now the focus is there too. With typically at least 15 bitchin' projects underway, the car guys are always busy.
