I would love to see how it ties in to the frame. Some Pics or fail lol.

Nice look but make sure it is strong and ties in well or it will be a huge hunk of flying debris on your first recovery.

Inspiring in looks, cost, and design/fab simplicity.
Thank you for posting.

Oh-- forgot to ask: what type of saw did you use? Not sure i could replicate all the cuts with a recip or a basic angle grinder...
