Know all that I know and the things I have seen happend to ABS sheet I would never even think about using it in a car or truck, especially for offroad. I have seen ABS sheet crack, snap, bend, break, tear and when it cracks and breaks it turns into some nice shrapnel. My workers used to slice open thier hands daily on it. You should definately not use any ABS sheet anywhere in your car, no matter how free or cheap you get it. That is my two cents. I do know alot about the material though so that is where I pull my conclusions from. For the roof plate I would use 1/8" Aluminum at least if not thicker. Think about in a rollover, your cage will proctect you but what about a big rock that fits in between your cage tubes or a tree stump. You definatly dont want to be impaled.</p></blockquote><p></p>
