Cody’s Role on American Chopper
Cody was a central fabricator and mechanic on the Discovery series American Chopper, working alongside his father Paul Teutul Sr. and brother Paul Teutul Jr. at Orange County Choppers. He handled custom bike builds, welding, and shop operations, becoming a recognizable figure in the custom motorcycle segment.
After the original series ended, Cody remained linked to the Teutul family brand through reunion specials and related media coverage. Public records and network episodes show his involvement in high-profile builds, charity rides, and shop management during the show’s peak seasons.
Departure and Business Split
Cody left Orange County Choppers amid escalating conflicts between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr., which led to the cancellation of the original series. He later focused on independent fabrication work and smaller custom projects outside the main OCC brand.
Public filings and media reports indicate Cody pursued side ventures in custom metalwork and fabrication, while the Teutul family continued operating under separate business entities. The split highlighted common challenges in family-run shops, including ownership disputes and operational control.
Cody’s Current Projects and Recent Developments
Recent public appearances and social media updates show Cody working on custom bike builds and fabrication jobs independent of the original Orange County Choppers shop. He has participated in build-off events, charity auctions, and small-scale custom commissions.
While he has not launched a large-scale production brand comparable to the original OCC, Cody continues to operate in the custom motorcycle and metal fabrication space. Public records and industry databases show his involvement in smaller workshops and contract fabrication work.
