tube doors - can i get some help?
i want to fab up some tube doors, i want a full frame, with support about half way up it to keep my legs in...here's the problem...
i dont have a welder at the moment but i was wondering if i could get someone to make them, and ill pay cash, or if someone could bring their welder and torch to me and help me that way...if anyone could give me some ideas and maybe a price estimate that would be great

In order to something like this, you just have to have a handful of plate, an angle grinder, and a welder.
Basically, you just need to etch out where you want your lines to be, and cut it on both sides and then go.
Mock up the plate to make the new top, and weld it in place.
In my opinion, it doesn't look horrible in your drawing, but when it get it on the a Ranger it isn't going to look right. The tube isn't going to follow the body lines at all, and it'll just seem out of place.
If you really want some type of half-door, I'd go the path of chopping up a good one.
