Is it a pre fit weld in ? or are you wanting one fabbed up ? Pre fab cages call the guys over at HPE, me and Rick installed and painted a Wolfe Racecraft Cage in a T/A and that turned out really nice. They are a sponsor on here 281-448-1300, if your wanting one fabbed up MadMan at JBZ racing in Tomball does great work and also Shane at DTP (Disturbing The Peace) in Houston also does great work.

i'll be taking my car down to madman's place in a few weeks for torque arm/swaybar install, motor plate weld in, and manual rack install. have the car scaled and the suspension setup, can't wait to meet the man himself and just finally get some work done on the car.

mild steel vs chrome moly:

If you are only going with a 6-pt, then you won't be saving too much weight with chrome moly over steel. If you are going 10-pt, the weight savings will be more noticeable.

Madman did the 6-pt in my '69 Camaro, and installed the 10-pt Wolfe setup in my 98 Formula drag car. One of the good things is that he gets them done quickly, your car won't be sitting for months waiting on a cage like some shops do.

sitting for months...hmmm, sounds like my first experience trying to get a buddy who has a business to do my cage.....extremem chasis is NOT the best option that's for sure. Wolfe or Madman are the only ones i would trust.

if it isn't made specifically for an f-body, you are wasting your money.

4pt -129.99
8pt -149.99
10pt -219.99
12pt -259.99
4-8ptmade from 1-3/4"x.134 wall mild steel tubing
10-12pt made 1-5/8x.134
shipping is about 79.00
so would these be a good buy?
or would it be better to just get one made and what is a good est.$ on just having one put in with labor and all?
