Default Cage shops in the eastern area?

hey guys ive got my 3rd gen and my plans for it in the future if/when the 305 goes out is a LS1 with a 4L60e. since the car is already setup for an auto. just make things easier. but since my car is a convert. im afraid of twisting the body. the LS1 is gonna be a smogless. bolt on prolly 90/90 or 92/92 and maybe a baby cam. i would be happy to see something around 350 to the wheels on the car. and prolly keep the stock 10 bolt since i wont be launching to hard. o yea maybe like a 2800 stall. or even smaller. i want someone that knows what they are doing. and make it look good. im just trying to get a price when it gets done money wont be an option for i will plan to pay a good penny cause i want it looking damn good so when i drop the top it doesnt look retarded. also is there any way of being able to route the cage around the back seats so that i can keep them in there?

Could you be more specific as to where you're looking for a shop? S&W race cars in PA can make a cage like you're looking for.
