After tack-welding the top frame tubes together at the front and with a temporary crossmember in place, I removed them from the frame jig. I put the bottom frame & roll cage hoop back in place on the jig and now I can fit the top section to the bottom. I set them together so all four frame tubes come together at the front. Then I trimmed the back end of the top tubes so that they intersect with the roll cage hoop 14 inches above the bottom. When I was satisfied with the fit, I tack-welded the ends together at the front and tacked the back of the tubes to the roll cage hoop. The temporary crossmember stays in place on the top tubes for now.
I need to mention that conduit is easily notched or "fish-mouthed" with a pair of aviator tin snips (2nd pic below).
