Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Jesse James (a direct linear descendant of the famed outlaw), a noted builder of custom motorcycles in Southern California, assembles a crew and takes ordinary vehicles (like a VW New Beetle or a Lincoln stretch limousine) and converts them in five days into extraordinary machines that do things that the manufacturer never intended them to do, like convert the VW into a swamp boat or the limo into a fire truck.

| Trivia | Host/star 'Jesse James' became an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church during the Chevy Suburban/wedding chapel conversion, specifically so that he could be the one to perform the marriage ceremony which signaled the completion of that episode's challenge. See more » |
| Goofs | Strictly, a "factoid" is a piece of believable, but untrue information, not a "small fact" (although, given that the Monster Garage Factoid above is untrue, it would seem that on this occasion, at least, it was used correctly). See more » |

Narrator:
Speaking for gearheads and garage mechanics everywhere, Jesse answers that one-word question: why? Jesse James: [innocently] 'Cause it's wrong. See more » |
