I'm hoping to get started on mine soon too, waiting on the border to open to be able to drive across to pick up.
So question, if I take my cowl hoop to a local fab shop and get them to make one up for you, I could bring it across the border when I come to Sweetgrass MT. Intereted?
The hoop is 1” square 1/8” tube and 1/8” flat plate with door hinge mounts in 3/16” that you weld in during door alignment
The 2 small 1/8” bent pieces they use for wiper mount and upper corners can be made out of 2 pieces and corner welded
