Romell R Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Romell, just some constructive criticism here the roll bar's main hoop and rear support bars look too thick to me. i know that you made these pieces from metal but if it were me i'd have made it from Evergreen rod. i know you like working with metal but i think you would have much better results if you switched to plastic and made a fresh roll bar assembly. i've made quite a few of them, if you want some tips and advice on going that route shoot me a PM. Dave Thx dave and I have considered remaking the rollcage, I have made them before from evergreen also, I realy just wanted to try my hand at making one from steel. And youre right it is too thick. I may pull out the ol styrene and go back to the old way of doin em. Thx again for the watchful eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
