Default Looking for a cage builder!!

I am looking for a cage builder for my C4. I am in southern california and I am not looking to spend a crazy amount but I was hoping that perhaps someone who is independent and on the forum would be able to help me out. I am looking to spend between 2-3k. Thanks

Anybody that usually builds race cars should be able to handle it, check in the telephone book or call the closest speed shops. Also go to the drag strip and ask around and check out the work on other cars.

While I'm a huge advocate of "do it yourself", it's good you are getting it done by a shop.

I have been doing mine for a long time now(life/job gets in the way!) and it is kicking my a s s!

Just curious, what will you be doing to the car?
Drag race, auto-x, road race?

What kind of material? Mild steel or chrome-moly?
Full cage?

Reb's in the valley was one place I heard about.
