I'm going to try my hand in making some rigid (non-folding) door frames. My question is, do you all think that hot-rolled rod would be suitable enough over cold rolled? I think the hot rolled would be a bit easier to work with. Looking these frames I have to copy from, they don't appear to be CL.
Thoughts?

They will be a little softer. Will mounting holes wear easier
and sooner?

Just my thoughts.....

Here they are, bent me out another set of frames copied from the ones I got.

I kind of did this just to see how hard it may be and to use my bender. It wasn't too bad. The hardest part was actually making the bracket the handles attaches to. I wish I had another CJ around to see how well these would fit. From twisted window frames, bent mounts, crooked tubs....etc, I'm sure, across the board, there would have to be some tweaking done from one Jeep to the next. It's really not that hard to bend to fit though.

I think I could bust out a few more someone was interested. One would have to supply their own handles and escutcheons. I got mine from Midwest Military. I don't have the means to make those plates. I would be able muddle thru making handles but don't really want to.
