Hi David, looks like you had assistance from a certain Colonel...

Have piles of 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" Unistrut here that had sparked my interest.
Used the plasma cutter to cut off one of the curled edges the length of the rail, notched it to fit my end angle iron pieces on the body and welded on an end cap.
Looks good, is strong and gives the body sides a nice finished edge, but has no curve for the tubing top canvas structure. Bolted this piece on along the body sides, so it can be removed easily later if a better option is found.
Thanks, David
