Spent the last couple of evenings making up a pair of support tubes to tie the firewall to the chassis, Its really strong now with zero movement anywhere.
1.5" stainless tube & bends, not sure wether to polish or paint black yet, I will decide later.

Havn't made my mind up yet guys, sometimes paint can look better with just a few polished highlights, We will see in due course

I thought you weren't going with stainless on the tubing? It sure looks nice!

Not much progress at the weekend due to very heavy showers every half an hour But this evening there was a nice sunny break so I decided to get the template made for the roll bar hoop, Its very similar design to my coupe but its all at the front as obviously there isn't much space behind the seats in a truck. As they did back in the day i'm using 2" x 1/8" wall tube, its a 2 piece hoop as in 1 piece it wont fit in the chrome bath , It has a diagonal going from the middle of the hoop to the passengers footwell where it ties into the frame.
The outside of the template is the centreline of the tube.

Great idea on the hoop template. I never thought to use ply wood as a template when doing the cage.Ryan

I always template because you can look at it and make angular changes easily, I also keep all my templates as I make cages regularly for other people, I must have around 40 different ones now !!! Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe
