Skicker Yes, You are guilty as charged. I remember you giving me the wink smile when I was studying the part at your booth in Carlisle. You automatically knew what I was scheming to try and do.
I was also thinking of fabricating it all in aluminum, but I still don't trust the space age adhesives out there to try and mend aluminum with steel parts in such a crucial front end structural brace. Bolts and rivets just would not cut it for me in the looks department either.

Thank you for your contribution.
