Looks really good, are you going to add some x bracing to it behind the cab at least? in your pics of where its welded to the frame the pipe looks galvanized ? :headscratch:

 Yes i did use AUTOCAD  2004 to do the design........And yes we will probly put a single diagonal brace into the main hoop, and yes it is 1.5 scdl40 galvanized pipe.. I know pipe is for poop but for right now its all we have access to,, we are trying to find a sorce for tubeing, but for some reason we can get anny U.S. syplyers to answer our quote requests...

I know its all you've got but whatever you do, dont breathe the smoke when you're cutting or welding galvinized, it will mess you up bad.
