i bought a 6point chromoly weld-in from them.
THE CAGE FITS AWSOME!!! i had them jig notch it(definitely worth the extra money) . it fit my 02 camaro perfectly. it went in with no problems and i didn't have to cut or grind anything. i was very happy with their product and i recomend them to anyone who is getting a cage for their car!

Thanks for the compliment. We're no where near the best. But our work is sound, reasonable and quick. We're just part-timers not making a living at it, just a little change on the side.

I'm not sure we can accommodate this ...

That would be a time consuming task and I just don't think I want to tie up my shop for that long.

Most of the cages you see in the link in my sig take a couple days to do. In the shop noon Friday ... come pick it up Sunday afternoon.

But this would take weeks fitting tube, installing/uninstalling the interior components and then designing the cage so that the interior components can be removed and reinstalled to accomodate welding and paint.

I forsee a lot of wasted metal trying to meet that criteria.
