Artisan, First off very cool project. Second, I think that a lower winshield bar will be more than good. Like you are saying, It's not speed it's just a slow roll over. With the lower windshield bar tying both "A" post together. They are tied to the hallow bar. That's a fare amout of lateral resistance. Just my thoughts. I know I said it first off, Very Cool!!!

Thanx for the kind words nuffer.
I try to make things look "store bought", if you will.
I flubbed a notch today, time to go get another couple
sticks of tube...

There are 2 kinds of guys who bend cages. Those who
screw up and those whom are going to screw up!
Notching is not for sissies! It is tough!

Dude my welder is tied up. I am SO tempted to grab my MIG
gun but I want him to do it. His welds are just beautiful. I am
done. It needs welding is all. I have it all fit up, it is "almost"
perfect. Well, actually since all parts are with .05" of each other
what I see as un-perfect is actually the canopy I think, itis no biggy.

Pipe welding is hard. I'd leave those welds to him. Can't wait to see it!

I guess I'll have to agree considering the source :p

Welding is done... Fit after welding went better than expected.

before I disassembly and paint.

There is another pair of U-Bolts for the rear anchor. These U-Bolts are tougher
than a 1ton Trucks Axle, 4 are WAY strong enough.
