I like that roof a lot better. The hard part is over (bending), now get some supports in there. |

That looks great!! I like the main bars running longways vs. w/shield and roll bar hoops. Looks like it would be way more "anti-crush" in a straight back rollover. |

I have heard the saying "Get back the horse" but this is amazing. You have got more done in the past week than I got done in the past three months. Does that X brace in the back get in the way of the rear passengers? |

That thing is looking great! doesnt even look like the same car. Are you going to put in grab handles for the rear passengers? I like the new look! |

I am really happy to see that you are getting your buggy fixed. I got a phone call right after your crash and spent a few worried hours till I found out you were ok. So it is really good to see you are about ready to go again. Next time you want to roll off a hill let me know I will loan you my buggy. |

They look good and fit seat very well! Next time you talk to him ask if he's interested in making more of them,I could use 2 and then my buddys would want them so maybe a total of 6or8 of them,let me know if he would and how much they cost. I was going to suggest putting "b" pillers in then I see you did in next set of pics.LOOKS Good! The piece of rubber roofing I have I just through over both seats when parked or hauling, I never thought about it but you could cut and seam it back together to fit seat better,,,,hum |

I did that same type of mod to my Cobra 98 I like the look of the "Sprint" car type of roof set up and the use of .120 wall dom on the roof is e really good choice compared to .095 wall hrew. |
