thank you,
that styrene holds up a lot better to a roll over than i thought.
or many roll overs down a steep hill

for the tubing i use two different sized. the sliders, rollcage, and front stinger are 1/16 brakeline that you can buy at most auto stores. the bumpers are made of 1/4 brakeline.

I am using oxy-acetylene torch and brazing the metal together.

should have the body painted up here soon as well as re-painting the tubework a semi gloss black. ive been very busy the past few days.
