Taco gussets!
I have built my own die to press the shape into the "taco" I need it to be. Then I use dimple-dies to create the recessed impression in the metal. I should take some pictures of those tools one day.
The gusset up here was made to compliment the aesthetics of the tacos in the Main Hoop bars. Looking at it from the front of the car head on, it makes sense.
This particular car is in a class that does not allow the cage to be welded to the car for added stiffness, so, windshield plates could not be added. I'll show you what those look like on other cars I've done.
