I know of one good place, but he likes too make his own cages, and if he doesn't do his own, his prices too install are kind of pricey.

Devon,
Try Chassis Engineering. They build all that race car stuff and did installs last I knew. Bunch of good guys too, I worked for them a while back.
Tony,
The car looks damn good! Did it come with the T/A hatch or did you swap that on?

wow, surprising! The guy who did my bar does awesome work and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. He bent mine just the way I wanted it so my rear speaker deck could still use the factory 6 x 9 locations, the door armrest doesn't get messed up, and I still have plenty of trunk space.
If you want I'll check into his costs on a 10-point chrome-moly. Only bummer for you is a drive north to Ocala!

$3000.00 is a fair price for a 10pt. Of course it should come with a chassis sticker, seat belt tabs and window net mounts.

Devon,
I'll check into it, but I know I stripped the interior to save the funds, mine was done in bare steel and I painted it once I got it home. It cost me $375 and that's for a 5-point mild steel with a swing-out door bar, but that was 2-1/2 years ago.

Get yourself some small cans of POR-15 epoxy-based paint. You can buy it at Eastwood. You can paint the cage yourself with a brush, that stuff goes on thick and it dries nice and glossy without any brush marks. It also holds up much better than regular spray paint. Two tiny cans should be enough to paint an entire 10-pt. I painted the 6-pt in my '69 with a little over half a can.
