OK, then how about this? I also like the idea of
nothing around me when I have the windshield down. Old school. Like an old Jeep. Nothing but the main hoop and rear tubing on the Jeep. What if a guy were to build a beefy radiator hoop up front to help keep the nose and core support of the Jeep from collapsing, and then doubling down on the B pillar hoop. Something like this:

So,
no tubes forward of the B-pillar when the windshield is down. Am I 'safer' than having untested tubing up front?
