It's a very cool piece, & it's never been cut for a full length pan. There were no cracks on it, but the steering box mount flexes ALOT when turning the wheel.
At first I thought it was acid dipped, but the edges are too crisp & sharp. A definate telltale sign of anything acid dipped is to check the edging. If it's tapered it's dipped.
And I got corrected in the actual weight difference of this one . I quessed 13 lbs, it's actually 8 lbs.
