OKLAHOMA CITY — The stars of a cable television reality show have built what is being touted as the world's first compressed natural gas-powered custom chopper for a local energy company.
"American Chopper" stars Paul Teutul Sr. and his sons, Paul Jr. and Mikey, run a family business in Newburgh, N.Y., known as Orange County Choppers.
They built the CNG-powered chopper for Chesapeake Energy Corp., the top independent producer of natural gas in the U.S.
The Oklahoma unveiling for the CNG chopper will be Wednesday morning at Chesapeake's northwest Oklahoma City headquarters. The "American Chopper" segment featuring the CNG chopper will air on cable network TLC on June 25.
