For being my first experience, bending, designing, and creating a cage from scratch with no help from people who have done it before, its not bad IMO. The roof halo sits higher then planned but I think its alright over all. Excited to take it out! Next weekend!

Yes sir, and I am going to tie the A-pillar into the fender and have it all tie into the front of the slider.

Thanks, still a work in progress, hopefully it turns out alright.

I don't, all it need in 1.75" are straights, or its already been bent.

I just have 1.5" and 1 5/8" dies.
