well, i started on the rollbar, this thing's a masterpiece of booty-fab.  i think it was from a fullsize truck and was cut in the middle, then the legs were shortened and cut and bent to fit a toyota.  booger welds abound!  but there's more...i found of all things, BONDO!  it appears the "fabricator" who put this thing together couldn't bridge a gap with his welder so he just filled it with bondo :slap: it's about a 1/2" gap where one of the supports meets the main hoop.

and my welder's taking it like a champ!  ran smooth beads where i ground down some boogers on one side, and with short bursts its filling up the gap nicely.  after it's filled, i'm going to grind it flush and run a few nice hot beads over it, structurally joining it.
