Here is a working link:
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3917347207.html They look pretty normal to me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Maybe if anything looks like the factory seam sealer was cleaned off of them and they look smoother than normal? |

does yours not have the rubber nipple covers? It does look like seam sealer is gone though.

Was looking at this cat today. Perhaps nothing is wrong, but welding/forming of steel was different (way smoother) than anything else I had seen. What could be the reason for this?

The trunk was re-done. It would originally have been body color, this is black. So chances are the seam sealer was removed as part of the stripping process, and it was either re-applied with a very smooth finish, or not re-applied at all.
