Roll Cage Details

Getting ready to start the fabrication of a rollcage for Goose. What I want to know is:

1) What aspects of your roll cage DON'T you like?
i.e. Hit my knee when getting in, not powder coated, etc.

2) What modifications would you do if you were doing it all over again?
i.e. Integraded grab handles, flush mounted dome lights, brackets to hold tools, etc.

3) Any pictures of special modification details would be deeply appreciated.

I really like attached picture. Notice how the main hoops slope backwards at a similar angle to the seat, giving the driver more head clearance. It also appears that instead of a bar running along the top of window frame location, they located one bar to the inside, between the passenger and driver. This might not provide alot of protection in a rollover, but I like the looks of it.

I never said I was any good at this stuff, but I've got the guts to try!

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think that cage would protect the rear occupants well.

I like my cage so far, just wish is sloped back more for the "fastback" look.
