Just re-read & noted the mention of material thickness vs the limits of your bead roller.
Yep, the 14 gauge is bit much for my Lo Buck Tools roller. I plan to cut out some decorative panels and glue them to the firewall and the flat sides of the inner fenders to give them a faux bead rolled appearance. Should help with vibration resistance too - hopefully.

The Flaming River microsteer unit came with a controller that accepts a VSS input from the transmission. So, the steering effort is supposed to vary with vehicle speed. More bells and whistles than my brain can process so I'm learning too. What is that saying about flying a plane while building it?
