The hardest part will be either making or buying the flange. A good flange
would be at least 3/8" thick, 1/2" inch would be even better. Let me know
if you find a supply as I would love to get one for the GT6+. The mandrel
bent tubing can be bought almost at any large auto parts place, but I've
found J. C. Whitney has a really good selection of mandrel bent tubing, in
all sorts of sizes and bend radii. Really useful for when I built my
header sets and in fact I used it to make the complete 2" dia system an all
my cars/trucks - and when I eventually build the "tri Y" for the 70 project
that's where I'll order mine from.
The roll bar is another matter -
