IMO you made the right choice, looks great without the hoop and will be easier to live with without it

Also, as someone with zero metalworking skills, I'm very impressed. I can't even tell the hoop used to be there.

Thanks, You can still see it with your eyes where something was there. Hoping when i get this re-powdercoated it will blend in. The paint right now is to prevent it from rusting.

Looks good to me, unless it really bothers you I'd put the powder coating money towards more upgrades
