I'm not clear as to the theme. I was thinking little racer, like the Filipino rides, but the WW2 trenching tool has me confused. I'm not sure you appreciate my cautionary input, haha, but some things are important. You'll want to draw a line from the top of your planned rollbar to the front of the bonnet/hood and make sure your melon fits within that triangle when you're belted in. The windscreen is not going to help hold you up if upside-down happens. I always enjoy hearing about the help that you get from your far-flung contacts and how you propagate the spirit with how you treat the new ones. The guy who could laugh about the shipping on the hinges impressed me.

Good to see your reply mate.
Thank you very much.
Temperate if below 6’C or 40’F in winter, often just bloody cold, but wet at times.
Covered space is both protective and weather proof-ish.
Filipino style antisocial tool.
The trenching tool if it is added, will just be a bit of fun, a nod to its origins.
Roll bar geometry makes a lot of sense.
I do want a low profile and more importantly a backward slant visually.
I think the hinge guy was pleasantly surprised by my offer to share postage cost.
I always like to keep my karma books balanced too.
