Enjoying your thread as well, just caught up on your Rollbar installation.
Yes they are a bit of a pain to have welded, drill the holes, and install (I learned to wear leather gloves when I installed the back legs, after getting the body back from paint. That slide-in leg can give one hell of a pinch blister!!)
Yes they are a challenge, but I REALLY like them and they look even better after they are polished. Although my polisher cussed them out and had to upcharge me because they were difficult to hold and dangerous. After all the work, they are worth it and I've received several compliments on mine from other FFR owners that know the difference. Also like your additional lights installed in them. I went with the Russ Thompson trim rings and really like them too. Again, installation can be a challenge, especially of the rear legs. I had one trim-ring screw/nut that wanted to occupy the same space as the rear-leg bolt/nut.

Here's mine before they were polished and the interior was completed





That hood though. That is a piece of art and looks terrific. Nice job.
