Splice Bob Vila with Evel Knievel and you get Jesse James, host of the Discovery Channel�s Monster Garage, a custom car-building game show. In each episode, James and his posse of welders and hydraulics specialists are given $3,000 and seven days to reinvent the family car. Among their feats: They�ve turned a Ford Explorer into a garbage truck (1), a limousine into a fire engine (2), and a Mustang into a lawn mower (3). �I want everything to have that gnarly scare factor,� says James. �It�s gotta be a monster.� Gearing up for the fall season, the 33-year-old Angelino splits his time between the studio and his shop, West Coast Choppers, where he�s laid chrome for Keanu Reeves and Shaquille O�Neil. Look for James to transform a Geo Tracker into a hot air balloon. Now that�s must-see TV.
