Default Interestink....!!!

Hi Tony

Shame they do not include dimensions. The bar is quite long and heavy...shipping by size and weight would be scary.

If need be I can measure the bars I have...length / cross section. It would be easy enough to replicate with some basic black smithing skills.... heat hammer and drill. It does hold the "arches" together quite well but the inside behind the radiator brace does pull the nose sheet metal together even better

It would not be unusual for off the shelf parts being used.... they were in rush back then.

We have not seen any recent progress pictures from Alex.......

PS...... check design pictures of 34 to 1940 Chev trucks....... no provision for an external brace similar to the CMP model....
