Paden's Truck

:Ohsnap:

Someone is getting caged looks nice.

 

Not sure I would go that far...........

 

Well I have heard and seen some products that didn't go well

 

Nice!

 

i wouldnt quite say that, i have seen tons of great work from him, online and on friends trucks in person. it was just different for me i guess..

 

ya i know what you mean. but at least avid fixed yours for you

 

Oh and as far as your cross brace being sleeved, I wouldnt worry about it. I can almost garantee it is. From frinds of mine who are personal friends with him assured me that when it comes to something like that he always sleeves them and then spends a ton of time blending so you cant tell.

 

does sleeving mean when there is two pipes that they weld to gether they put a sleve in in before welding it so it has more stability? and blending is where you cant tell they did that? not in a bad way just for more apeal to the eye right?

 

Yes...For instance you could take 2 pieces of 1 3/4 .120 wall slide them over a piece of 1 1/2 tubing. You usually drill a hole in the 1 3/4 and weld the 1 1/2 tube and fill the hole. (rosette weld) Yes blending it would be smoothing the transition between tubes and welding to make a cleaner apearance.

 

There is a sleeve and a rosette in there if you can find it

 

Yeah a lot different for you... How did that custom two piece crossbrace /shock mount hold up in glamis? Lol

 

cool thank you! i talked to him about it as well and i do believe it is sleeved. i just found it weird that there was no rosettes.

i see it, i see it!!!

haha we fixed all the tabs, and everything besides the cross brace its self. it held up great!

sorry for the thread jack Paden
