You're probably right. Here's a little...

"When the MGM Grand Hotel opened in 1975, starring Dean Martin, the second headline act was Shecky Greene, whose salary at one point climbed to $150,000 a week ($125,000 went to "my bookmaker," Greene cracks).

Greene says that Jay Leno once told him that his all-time favorite joke is one Greene recounted about Frank Sinatra saving his life.

Five guys were beating up Greene, and then he heard Sinatra say, "OK. He's had enough."

We'll - Rodger and the boys @ Ironworks finished up what I wanted them to do for me on the car. The ended making new fender mounts, headers, complete exhaust, core support, fender braces, radiator and AC condensor mounts. You can't see them in the pics but I built the main front end supports that mount under the grill support that go down to the frame so most of the front end weight is supported by this. When I asked Rodger to build the core support structure I mentioned I wanted some bars to go down to the frame for further support. We'll Rodger in his infinite wisdom and creativity came up with something better. He didn't like the idea of bars just hanging out there so he came up with the idea of building the top radiator mount, AC Condensor mount and built an enclosure and attached it to the main bars going across then to the frame. It came out slick IMO.

Here are some of the final pics mocked up. Still have quite a bit of tuning up to do for final fitment but we are well on our way.

Once again I can't say enough about the workmanship of Ironworks. These guys are on top of their game!

That double depth bead down the center is very nice touch. I am guessing not done with an Eastwood bead roller?

Could be, 1/4" step die and 1/4" bead down the middle and you have to hold your tougue just right.
