Trust me, I understand how it is on this forum. My comments are all in fun.
As for the autopower thing, why would you not go there? I have no opinion either way, just curious as to why you are so strongly against them?

Have you ever seen anything autopower has made? I've talked to them and they are nice guys and all, but they seem to focus on making roll bars for people to bolt into their car so they can look neat driving on the street.

Actually, I have. They built a very nice NHRA roll bar for a guy I know. Like said, they don't only do the commercial bolt in crap.

The idea I get when I hear autopower is what used to be a cheesy 4 point ricer rollbar that wasn't even good enough for running 11's since it wasn't legal.Now if these are in fact the same people and they actually do work a 25.5 certifiable level then they have come a long ways since back in the day.

I have no clue if they will do a 25.5 cage or not. It was just a suggestion. Can't hurt to at least call and ask?
I am sorry if you took any offense to what I said. I was just trying to keep the banter rolling. I actually have a lot of respect for anyone that can build/drive cars like yours.
