Nice job. Remember when it comes time to add the canopy that a solid canopy will reflect noise down to you and magnify the engine noise. If you put a solid canopy above your head, make sure you but some sound absorbing foam insulation on the headliner or you might want to consider fabric as it will block the sun but allow most of the sound to pass through.
I forget who did it, but one of the TBN members a year or so ago did a BRILLIANT thing and when he built his canopy he included a plexiglas panel at the front of the canopy so he could see his FEL when it was raised. I'm not sure if he used a colored piece of plexiglass to offer shade or not, but it was a brilliant design. Somewhere on TBN in an old thread are photos.

Thanks guys. The 1 3/4 DOM tube is about $4.00 per foot, the 7/8 is $1.50 per foot. There's approximately 24 feet of 1 3/4.
The clevis ends for the big tube are $20 a piece X 4ea.
The quick pins 5/8" were $12 X 4ea. The smaller clevis's and pins were around $15 a pair for the clevis and $4 ea for the pins. I had most of the material on hand, so I was only out the hardware.

Kurt there are a couple brands of umbrella and accordian type soft tops on the market. They are typically universal fit. I've seen 3 and 5 rib designs and one design that had a front extender.
