Well duh. I ment braces, and tubes. What design should/could I go with. I need help designing the roll cage, and that stuff. Its all a learning experience for me. Im 15. I didn't order panels, i ordered lexan for the panels. I guess i need to make myself more clear, my bad.

The roof line is a little high for my taste. Other than that I think it looks good.

Thanks, thats the kinda answers that I'm looking for. I want to learn from what i did wrong and improve from it.

Only thing I don't like is the rear shock mounts. I would have integrated them into the rear of the cage itself. Nothing wrong with them, simply a personal preference.

It looks well made. For being only 15, I am thoroughly impressed

I may have to take that into consideration. That would not be hard to do. Just got to think it up. Thanks guys. This is the kinda stuff i like to here. Anything else you guys would change?

if it is made of solid rod, then no bracing would be needed. everything else looks good. you have our approval. now get it finished.

p!nK
