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.
