Lincoln Electric on Last Night's Episode

If you were watching American Choppers: Senior vs. Junior last night, you probably noticed some Lincoln Electric products and logos.

Vinnie wears Lincoln's Red Rod™ helmet

Paul Jr. sidekick, friend and fabricator - Vinnie DiMartino - rarely took off his Lincoln Electric Red RodTM welding helmet.  This helmet is part of the Viking series of auto-darkening helmets and features variable shade and sensitivity control.

With the help of Lincoln's Power MIG® and Precision TIG® welding equipment, Paul Jr. is starting to fabricate some of the most intricate and challenging choppers of his career.

Also on last night's show, Paul Sr. took a trip to Quebec, Canada to visit Rolling Thunder Mfg., a fabricator of chopper frames.  This company is a valued Lincoln customer and could be seen welding with Lincoln's Precision TIG® machines in their shop.

How Paul Jr. learned to weld

Since a young age, I have been around welders.  That knowledge has been a tremendous asset for me in my career.  It is my goal to use the platform I have been given to encourage young people to learn how to weld.

What is Paul Jr. Designs?

After ten years in the steel business and ten years building custom motorcycles and a brand through OCC, he is taking all he has learned and applying it to his new company, Paul Jr. Designs. Brand loyalty is a key part to this new venture as well as partnering with the right companies. Shortly after opening its doors, Paul Jr. Designs caught the attention of its first major client, The Coleman Company. Paul Jr. Designs was hired to redesign the 10-Year Anniversary model of their popular Roadtrip Grill and signed a contract to review and improve across their entire product line.
