Take a look at Fireballs car and you will have a idea of what you need to go 750's.. If you need to convert your sportsman's cage to a SFI 25.5 cage give me a call and I can set you a appointment.

Thanks,
Tyson

Halo bars, floor bars, rear frame rails roof bars, funny car cage, and "X" door bars. You are better off going 25.2. I wont even build a 25.5 car anymore.

Noyzee: Yes it requires a lot of work. I'd be happy to discuss some options with you also. You could pickup the SFI 25.5 book from the SFI Foundation website for $35 I think. As Madman said it depends on the setup, but 25.2 is not that far off. My car is setup for 25.5, however it is setup inside the car for exhaust clearance.

I'll get some pics of our cage during the week Noyzee. Looking to have it painted before we move I am withholding the final pieces to the 25.5 right now just to get some shake down passes on this NA motor here. I do vow the kerminator will be on a damn track in 2008 with whatever motor!

i have like 3 or 4 guys in my area that will do it, one of them takes way to long he did my original cage, he was very very good, but very off on time. another guy is HUGE cash and no better then the next guy, another guy i heard bad stuff about, and the last guy stepped on my dick a little bit a few years back and id rather not go to him.

Bruce can do it, but like you said if he tells you 2 weeks figure it will take 4, as long as you plan on it that way he can do it.

If you can get the car in with him by thanksgiving, you'd have it back before the end of January LOL.

But, his work is decent, and the price is usually good.

madman, tyson, or NRC would be who I'd have do it.

With some of the things I want to do before I get the car back out after my short retirment, I might have to get it to one of those guys as well.
