This part/ weld is NOT an HPI Customs welding or fab job. This is the rad cradle that was used on the car from another company. The weld is called a "whip", just to clarify all of our welds are done properly, especially when its a structural integrity part.

Only asking because i want to learn to evaluate what im looking at. I weld ok (far from great!!) and love to learn about it and this just looked like what i wrote to me.... Maybe its the picture, maybe its ok too!!!

To me it looks like i could wack it off and seperate them if i got at it motivated... So i tought about the pressure of the roadworks.

Thanks for the info, and awesome job on that build!
