My '63 Belvedere 426 MW had this done when I got it, it was sawed vertically and re-attached with tiny straps and 12-24 screws. Even though it's thin, it does work very well in tension, and a vertical 3/32" X 1" wide doubler strap on either side of each joint would make it stronger than the original. Low cost, low weight, can't hurt. You could make stripping faster with Dzus instead of screws.

They are flimsy, but they don't normally handle a large number of different loads. Mine is also removable, I lowered my rad, sectioned in a piece to deepen the removable upper member of the core support, then added openings for intake air, via a scoop /duct pictured later on. Its pic #44 https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...e-62-polara-500-cruiser.html#Post1554309Pic #57 shows the bolted connection better
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
