Ok so I kno those kno roll cages set up for our wagons so I just was wondering what is a good main hoop or setup to work off off
 
Well I have used a 2dr kit with a little modification. Now that being said if I where to do it again I would buy 2 competition engineering main hoops for a gbody. Take the second hoop cut it in half and use it for the rear strut supports by doing this it would run along roof line leaving no head interference or obstructions in back seat and you would have a good usable seat. But just remember the main upright hoop will fall in the back door opening but you can still get in. As for front down struts buy two 4ft pieces of 1 3/4 mild steel tube with same wall thickness as the hoops. Hope that helps.
 
4130/4140 Chromemoly tubing TIG welded is best. Light weight, super strong. We have a bender for these applications. Maybe a comp Engineering set up and hacked on, make sure your welder is qualified, your life may depend on it!
