This new installment follows father-and-son duo Doug and Brad DeBerti as they continue to impress with some mean custom builds. The two of them have no boundaries, and are known for creating some outrageous, state-of-the-art vehicles such as a truck modeled after a fighter jet.

Be sure to catch Gas Monkey Garage, the 405 and Fired Up Garage on Thursday night, as they prepare to wrap up their builds for the final BUILD TO MEGA RACE episode. The long-awaited and highly-anticipated AMERICAN CHOPPER  debuts an exclusive sneak peek of its upcoming season as well. World-renown motorcycle builders Paul Teutul, Sr. and Paul Teutul, Jr. return to reclaim their spot on top of the high-pressure customized bike building world.
