It doesn't, I beveled mine I just didn't take very good pictures, I actually re-welded the whole thing but didn't show that, and my bevels were fairly wide and deep.

Good deal.
66 Cyclone GT; 245/60R15's on 15x8's and 215/70R15's on 15x7 Magnum's.
There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.
