Default Roll Cage

I am building a drag extended cab short bed truck and I am looking for someone local to have a roll cage built and installed. Weld in. I want to cage to be legal to break in the 9's. Stenod quoted me 3200 to have it caged and a rear lexan window installed but I would prefer not to have to go to Michigan to have it done. Can someone recommend a local company? PM me if needed.

Thanks
-David

Well I just talked to Bill Buck and after seeing his work in Tony's car I think I am going to go with him. He said it would be about 2500 for the 10pt cage, and a lexan rear window installed.

Tony, thanks for the recommendation.

bill buck did great work for us.. custom 6pt in our 69 fastback.










you can see the kick down he put in so we could reuse the original doorskins.




and he tucks the main hoop reallllllll close to the top, and hides the cage really well.
