Looks pretty cool, But im guessing you'd need a strong point on the front panel

Surely it would be better having the main cross bar between the turrets rather than just bolting (or even worse self tapping) throught the top of the turret ?

I'm sure the other bars to the slam pannel won't hurt, but then do you see them on race / rally cars ?
