I got my upholstery guy to make the top and i started the frame this morning.
I used 3/4 emt for the frame and pipe insulation on the emt. On the hoop i made brackets out of angle iron and bolted them to the studs on the fender that were for the seat belts. I didnt want to try and bend the emt so i used black iron 90's at the top i just welded the to the emt. It was pretty simple to build the hardest part was lining up the snaps in the front. Here are some pics.
The weld doesnt look to great on the 90 but it wasnt real easy to weld on that emt.The only thing i have left to do is mount some eyelets in the rear for the cords to hook to. The material is a diamond plate design used for making bed covers.
