I finished the rear bars tonight. The winds have been really bad out here so yesterday it took me 2 1/2 hours just to get one plate welded to the floor. I had to keep grinding down the weld and redo it because it was splattering bad.

So if it doesn't look perfect tuff luck it still got good penetration. Also, I haven't welded the top of the bars to the main hoop for the same reason. I'll grind down what is there now and do them again.

I didn't take any pictures of the tubes while I was making them but all I did was measured the length that I wanted then used a 1 3/4 hole saw to cut the tube in half. That way I already had the notched ends. Then I cut them to length and angle cut the bottom with a saws all.

Here's some pictures from last night and tonight.
