Default Looking for a good cage builder

Does anyone know where I can have a good 4, 6 or 8 point cage made and/or installed in California without paying throught the nose? the car is an 89 targa. If any forum members do this kind of work please contact me at kowalski340@yahoo.com I would also like to see pics of your cage setups drag or roadrace!

I'd post this in your regional section of the forum. With all of the hot rodding and racing activity in CA, I would think you'd get some solid recommendations. R-D Racing and others make bolt-in (or weld-in) 4 point bars for C4s. My R-D bar installed in only a few hours with no hassles.

Heres a few photos of the cage we custom built for our 88 - for SCTA rules - Bonneville racing - 6 point 1.75 inch DOM tubing

I do have a mandrel Bender and a plasma torch - so that helps alot - and a damn good crew chief!
