looks like he ran 2 straight lenghts from cross member bolts to the hoop. good idea. i'd say the thickness of the straight peices should be heavier gauge then the hoop because of their length. i might make one myself.




+1...or at least some gussets...granted more pics would make it clearer as to what was done, but the length of those straight members may compromise the integrity of the loop. I would much rather drill a few holes in the floorpan than deal with the carnage should the U joint let go...
