Default Cage/chassis work

Any recommendations? I need to get my 8 point roll bar converted to a 10 point cage. TIA

Default Roll Cage?

Hey, I Can Reccomend A Local Chassis Guy In The Fort Wayne, In Area. His Name Is Bill Davis. On Page 36 Of The Fort Wayne Hommies Come In Thread, There A Partial Pictures Of My 10pt. Cage. The Cage Is Know Full Finished, But Just Have Not Posted Any New Pics Lately, But The Pics Of It On That Page Give You A Good Idea What Kind Of Work He Does, And He Is Cheap To. His Phone Number Is 260-484-1910 If You Are Ineterested. The Only Thing In Those Pictures That Was Premade Was The Main Hoop, Everything Elese Was Custom Bent. Good Luck

I would strongly suggest going to straightline. They do very clean work at great prices!

Thanks for the leads, I Called Alston. Probably should have said I am looking for someone local to me, within a half hour from Chicago.

Was hoping to find someone that might do this type of work on the "side". Only really need the A pillar bars bent/done and I could probably do the rest myself. This is for my Vega FWIW.

UPDATE:
Since my original post i I have done a lot of research. I found someone to loan me a tubing bender and notcher (you know who you are thanks), bought an NHRA rule book, bought some 4130 tubing, I already have a welder (thanks to Bradws6). So I decided to take the "plung" and "tackle" the job myself. So far it is turning out great, I am learning a lot in the process too.

Got to see the cage work on Monday when we were assembling my C5R motor. Looks good, even goes through the dash! Top notch work as always BigD.
