great workmanship but not really in keeping with the legend hey ? im not knocking him, each to their own n all that

oh yeah, did you know this puppy if aluminium is welded it can lose 50% of its density !! (strength) learnt that today.

Ford might of riveted theres but the torque bolt, that's rather clever A high tensile pan head torque bolt can you just imagine guys and rigidness from glue and these bolts awesome !! on top of that they look like a rivet.
