In the banner above, there are 3 places that do great work for cages: Reiter's Metalcraft, Diamond Fabrication, and Stenod Performance. Call them and tell them you saw them on here, they'll hook you up. I think chrome moly is worth the money if you're trying to keep the car light, it's significantly lighter than mild steel.

No offence and I'm not going to get into an argument, but they are REPUTABLE. When it comes to safety you really don't want to go cheap.


Just saying "My boy does cages, cash and cheap" really isn't going to help business for him. Just my opinion.

Any body can build a cage. But is that cage going to pass a NHRA cert??? It is better to go with a shop that has had many on top of many pass NHRA and IHRA standards.
