Default Where to get a 6pt. roll bar in Central FL.

Anybody know a good shop to get a 6 point roll bar done? I tried to search in this forum and came up virtually empty.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

If you want it done right go to Takash Racing.

Takash gave up on the roll bar jobs awhile back, but he might be back in to it, he was sending all the jobs to a guy in Merritt Island, Brian Johnston, he worked at Takash for years,

Mine was done at Dan Neumann Race Cars in Ocala. Bent everything custom and rates are reasonable.

If Takash is out of the rollbar business then you might try Mazworx. Yes, I know I just reccomended a ricer shop but I've seen there work in two very fast cars, nice stuff.

Race Car Builders in Palm Bay, FL. It is about 2 hours south of Orlando, but well worth it. I spoke to the owner Anthony on the phone and I was sold after only a few minutes of talking to him. Very knowledgable, and gives prices up front which I like!

They advertise the "business car fit" (meaning VERY tight).
Give em a call, search google for em, I forgot the #...

Elite Racecars in Port St. Lucie...

My car is there getting a 6-point as we speak....Jason primarily does tube chassis cars and SCCA cars, but is more than happy to accomodate us less barr'ed vehicles....

Guys,

Please stop the non-sponsor links and contact info. I'm all for spreading word on shops, but the rules are clearly outlined on what is and is not allowed:
www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=703712

Any more of it and the thread gets locked.

are there any sponsors in central or south florida that offers this service?

Not trying to start ****, but if there are no sponsors on tech that offer this service then why not let people post up some places that can do the work. I have no idea if there are any shops/ sponsors that do this down here.

If there are sponsors that do this work in here I will delete my post.

In the link I posted:

We are all car guys/gals here, and LS1TECH does not have a problem with members helping each other out. If you see someone asking for help, you are more than able to send them a private message and offer assistance. You can even recommend them a shop that you have had good experience with. You can also talk about products that are made by places that do not sponsor LS1TECH. We have always encouraged the spread of information and knowledge here.

We need to more clearly define our policy, so hopefully it will be understood without question.

1. We do NOT allow pricing or any form of contact information to be posted for non-sponsoring vendors. This includes email address, website, physical address, phone number, etc.. We also do not allow members to reply with statements such as "PM me for details or contact info!"

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with posting up a business name or where they are, but contact info or links are not permitted. We have sponsors in FL, so the work is likely offered somewhere.

Yep, quality work usually means a waiting list. I waited 3 months to get my bar upgraded to a cage, but the results are worth it IMHO.
