Looks pretty sweet Ryan! I didn't have a clue what you were talking about when you were describing it last night, but now I see!
Why didn't you tie the cage to the factory bar?

I intended to tie the seats into the cage, even built part of the stuff, but then I looked at the seats.... So I'll be getting new seats then I'll tie in, along with shoulder belts. I do have a lap belt in the driver's side, mounted to the floor.
It can't be welded to the factory bar because hard top goes there. I'll probably make something to bolt between the two when the tops off.
If anybody feels I should add something, speak up.
How about what seats I should get? New or, know a junkyard that will sell some cheap? Doggerts wanted something rediculous for these nice chevy tracker seats I liked, so I told em they could rot like the other two sets they had.
What yall think of these cheap poly ones with vinyl cover?

DOM or otherwise?
Mostly 1.5" pipe. That equals 1.9" OD. Supposed to be some better grade than normal pipe, all I know is that normal pipe bends prettier. Theres some 1.25" pipe = 1.66" OD in there too. All bending was done on a bender my dad made to hook to the ironworker. Homemade dies too, and no we aint got no lathe. Bends aren't perfect, it does real good on the 1.66" and smaller OD stuff. Flattens the inside of the bend some on the 1.9" OD. So if anybody's wantin a die to bend 1" tube or such on a JD or such, I could tell you how to make it.
You might price APC "racing" seats at Vatozone
They look a lot like the summit ones but might be a lot cheaper.
And they're "Already Pieces of Crap"
you need to buy seats with more padding in them. those seats are not made to sit in all day long.
get a roll of duct tape and fix the ones you've got
