did some work today and bent up the side hoops for an in cab roll cage. i used bend-tech to design the whole cage, and the side hoops came out near perfect. i'm using 1 1/2" .120 wall tube, which i know is a little on the small side, but it fits in all the nooks and crannies of the bronco tub nearly perfectly. i think i may even get away without cutting into the face of the dash. im going to make up for the smaller diameter tubing by triangulating and webbing wherever i can. here are some pics. BTW the angle iron and tubes in the door opening are just a jig to stabilize the body while its off the frame. all of that is coming out once the cage gets bolted in...
