    Well paint can hide a lot, that the top of the cage that you can't see unless you drop it down, looks like he spray painted the underside blue to probably hide the work. Also the person paying for the build might not be savvy, he probably thought it was fine and then was awakened to the mess after failing tech. I'm not trying to start a hate train here just simply passing this on. It would suck if one of you got a bunch of work done and then something life threatening happened. Pics on Instagram can hide a lot!

    Looking at some of the other pics and explanations, seems like it failed for the parts he tried to weld together without taking the cage off (bad position), not even going to comment on the sleeve???? The outter pieces look nice.

    I was an early early customer. Maybe he cared more then and had more time. Mine have been good but there's no excuse for that raptor hack job.

    He's through.

    Bench welding is a lot easier too. Whole different story when you are upside down 360 welding tube.
