If you just want a bolt in cage... Wolfe has one. Bill is only custom work and done with Chromoly but it is DEFINATELY worth it.
Let me know if you have any other questions about bill. He did the cage in my car so I can definately let you see some of his crafty work.

I have seen Bucks work, its awesome. But I had a discussion with a guy that says that he has seen better work from other people. Just wanting to get anyones opinion on who they think is the best.

if you want the absolute best then you would have to wait a few months and bring your car up to Arlington and have Wolfe's shop put your cage in. they did mine and it is bad ***, welds are perfect, bars were bent just as i asked to have them done.

All the off the shelf wolfe cages are made from ERW tubing, Ive heard they can use DOM on request tho. Bill Buck uses DOM 4130. Depending on what you wanted out of the cage will dictate who you should go with. The thing I dont like about the wolfe cages is how they dont tuck put in the B-pillar to well, and in the event of an accident on the street, you run the risk of hitting your head on the main hoop. Also, an out of the box cage will never have the fit and finish of a custom.

the only thing needed if you order a wolfe 10pt cage is to put a little bend in that b-pillar bar. Tony (nineball's) cage is a wolfe out of the box cage that madman modified slightly and it looks perfect. mine i similar to Tony's and it was done at Wolfe's shop (probably the only car on this board that Wolfe actually did the work on)

Wolfe and Buck do awesome work. The thing to look at is where you are located and what the wait is. The Wolfe cage if installed correctly is tucked up very nicely to the A and B pillars if you want to install it yourself. Bucks cage being a custom piece can be set up anyway you like.

I didn't mention it, but Bill Buck is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He'll sit for hours and talk with you about anything and everything, and he really knows what hes talking about.
Got to hang out with him at the shop and once when he was in Houston at HMP, really cool guy.

I agree! Very nice guy. He is a guy that will go out of his way to help someone. His help does not just end when you pick up your car from his shop. If you see him at the track and you need help or need his advice.....he will jump right in and help out.
