    Thanks Earl. All you need is a friend to build one along with you and you can have a race. People see you having fun and, the next thing ya know, there will be a bunch of you all out there having fun.

    Next step in my build was to complete the roll cage. All this requires is another hoop bent from 3/4 inch conduit to the same approximate radius as the first one. I trimmed and fit this one so it attaches to the top frame rail about half way between the main hoop and the rear of the frame. I also bent the little hoop for the headrest from 1/2 inch conduit and attached it to the upper rear crossmember. At the top, the roll cage hoops are about 4 inches apart and tied together with another piece of 3/4 conduit.

    It's Ez to say cut to fit,but??? OK here;
    Going to try and add one of my drawings to help,this should help even with other stuff some rodders are doing on here,this is a way to cut fishmouths with just a strait hacksaw and a little layout work;
    As when you make a angle cut acrossed any round tube ,it makes a rounded cut anyway,we're using this as a way of getting a fishmouth,but with only cutting strait.
