A few days ago we finished up the tool for making the main hoops. On the first ten frames we welded the hoop to the frame rails and then added the hoop accessories later (things like the hoop diagonal, shoulder bars, engine cover mounts, etc.). This time around, to make things quicker and easier we decided to weld up the main hoop and it's accessories as a sub-assembly.
Saturday we finished the standard sized hoops. Here's a short video of the fabrication process:

Today we are making another tool for the extended frame hoops. These hoops are 2 inches taller.
I'm also working on finishing the first stage instructions. After that I will start on the second stage instructions.
In case any of you were wondering, here's a breakdown of the next batch of kits:
