Deejaaaa
as for weight this is designed as two parts.

A standalone headache rack capable as any on a ranch truck. With an airodinamic twist (the sides of the headache rack are tapered and only 15 □" of added frontal area)

headache rack~40-60lbs: 1"x3" .065 steel with 3/8 plexiglass 20"x20" cutout for the pass through window

canapé ~35 lbs :1/2"id .065" tube for sparse 5@ 9' +~20' for cross bracing and tail extension radius + 1"x1" .065 square 30' for frame + 50 3"x3" .065 corner gussets. The canapé can support my 190lbs (tested on shop floor before covering lol).

The final product will be able to be raised and locked up as a wing for towing an enclosed trailer (as most Comercial units camper or box have a flat front ) ever tow a box trailer with a VW Bug not easy
