Started for a "Build Off" that fell away, "Build Off" contracts signed, "Build Off" sponsorships secured and no "Build Off". It didn't matter anyway like a disease the ideas for this chopper ate away at John Dodson's brain, the bike build had to see completion! That's where the bikes name came from, after the TV cameras left the shop and it became apparent that the TV show was gone too, most of the sponsors backed out. Where would the funding come from? Blood money! Take it, steal it, borrow it, just get it!
Debuting Bert Baker's Function Form primary drive with the Baker King Kong Klutch and the Baker Firestarter, all of this coupled to the world's finest transmission ever: a six speed Torque Box. A big thanks goes out to Mark at HHI who stepped up with the cleanest brake caliper in the world for Blood Moneys one and only rear brake - and if you're only playing with one you better make it the best. Art imitating life, a tank mural of the Gangster Choppers shop truck cruising The Boulevard late one night, caught on film, caught in art.
