This is where it started getting tricky--can't tell ya how many times all that tube fell over,lol.

But this was my first big boo boo. I got the cab area bent up and it just looked so damn tall. Well duh me had my seats in the wrong spot and angle and ended up making to too tall--so I tossed that.

So this took some time but I got the right bends this time,lol. One thing I hayed about my toy and the bravo 2 chassis suffered from the same tree grabber at the b-pillar. I wanted one smooth piece of tube all the way down and I think it looks cleaner and less busy that way.

Now onto allot of small chunks of tube..

My last rig had the same problem, every cage I've built since uses a continuous tube from front to back now. Nothing pisses you off more than having your b pillar hang on a tree when your about to get a line.

I have been stopped cold by that spot a few times--to the point the whole rig would just wad up..
 
I know you did your roof already but I dig how radius did a brow bar for me when I was building this chassis. I feel yours would have a nice look with something similar.

Did you sheet the roof with aluminum?
 
I got the roof done.
