5" narrowed Punchdrunk Customs beam on our 56 daily driver... rides and handles like a dream! Matt's a stud, and his beams are top notch... and his ego is in check, unlike some other guys...

X2, I'm so happy with the beam I got from Matt Watts!

Been working on Type 3 Beams a lot lately. Consistent goal of making the best is what we are attempting to do.

Nice press brake work there Airkewld. The big center plate looks to be 1/4" and the die marks seem to point out the use of a 1.5 or 2" die for those 135* bends. Those center pieces for the adjusters is what caught my eye. That's some tight gooseneck work, or as I like to say "Finger Grabber Bending". Nice fab work sir.  |
