Default Where to get a chrome moly cage?

Can any point me in the right direction on this one? I am looking for a custom built chrome moly cage. I dont need to hear the pro's and cons of chrome moly vs steel. I am looking for someone who can custom bend a 10pt cage for my 1963 nova. I do not want a cookier cutter cage, something custom fit with swing out bars, tight fitting, etc.

If anyone has any personal experiences with this please let me know. Thank you,


JZ

He lives by North and 355, and has a building behind his house. He redid my cage in the old Formula, and did a bunch of cages for folks I know. He's also careful not to mess up your paint and interior, and he does not have a lot of folks going in and out of there like some better well known places.

How about a state at least?? a city would be even better.
The midwest has several decent shops that would do a nice job for you!!

Ahh Yes, I thought I had my city and state listed. I live in Addison, IL.

PSJ - I think I may have been to Neils house once before, does he have a raced out black TA by any chance? Maybe not. I will definitely give him a call and see what he has to say. Your car looks great after Neil gave the cage a tune up. I am looking for something just like that. Tight, clean, and almost hidden, yours looks as though it blends in and that is what I am looking for.

Thanks for the heads up guys, keep em coming. I am looking to get this done over the winter and want to get it all setup now.

Thanks,

Jamin

PSJ -

I will definitely get in touch with Neil in the next couple of days. I am looking to get it done over the winter, I just want to get it setup now so I know what is going to happen. I dont want to procrastinate and end up not getting it done this winter. The car is looking pretty promising and I want to do it safely.

Thanks for the info and heads up on neil. Thanks again.

Matheis Race Cars - Fenton, Mo. tell him Tim H. told you to call him. He did my 66 Nova this past winter. Posted some pics. Guy is the BEST fabricator out there. I have seen alot race cars from street peelers to 6.0 Pro Mods. He has done them all. Very creative and meticulous! He's been doing it 20+ years. A Chrome Moly cage is a drop in the bucket for him. The nice thing about Rob is no job is too small. He gets them in out quickly as well. No B.S.in' around. He did my work with the head liner in adidn't even put single scratch in the paint.

Check out his webiste, he is NEW to the webstuff, don't judge his work by his webiste. LOL Phone number is 1-314-974-3427
