I appreciate the input, but, actually, it's the other way around. The inner is mounted to the rearmost main crosstube and the outer is much higher and mounted to the birdcage framework. There are quite a few pictures in the Kirkham galleries where this can be verified, as well. The rollbar in the picture was just a quickie one I bent up and drilled and tapped to attach for the picture. That's why both downtubes are the same length, which may be what threw you off. If you look closely, there is no outer mount, the end of the tube is just kind of hanging there. The final version one will be the correct style. I have a set of prints I'm working from and have been very discerning about getting it as right as possible. Tough to put pictures up here and not have it be "right", Lol! In the next group of pictures, maybe tonight or tomorrow, I have the rollbar mounts completed, along with most of the rear birdcage structure, so check back to see it more completed...
Nice Coupe, by the way... love those bodies!
Thanks,
Garey
