hopefully be getting more steel tomorrow, box to start the back of the cab, sheet steel for back of cab, floorpans and inner wings, 75x3 flat bar to make sill mounts etc. 2" tube to start cage and arches etc.

80x80 sounds about right, just aslong as its big enough to fit the bushes.

What you doing in with regards to the roll cage? MSA spec?

well I didn't do it MSA spec because the only bender (lol) I could find which didn't want the earth was utter pants, couldn't even do a simple hoop right!
but if you can its not to much extra work, and it'l be worth while. there is plenty of info out there on the net, mainly right tube, right hoop angle and configuration and the mounts!
Also plenty of help on here too!

well my thoughts are, its not MSA.. but that's just a guide to make it strong, just because its not how they say don't meant its not strong, and its better than nothing!
