QUOTE=Captainfab;5195589]Are you having someone local fab the cage?[/QUOTE]

Yes , there is a guy here in Baytown that has a chassis shop . I went in on a big tubing order with another guy , so we got a break in the price . I want to say $5.30 a ft . X 70 Ft . It will come with the documentation from the manufacterer for the chassis cert . Which will be done at the chassis shop before i pick it up . This is so the inspector can tell the chassis guy directly if there are any problems . I did Mild in the last truck and it's cheaper to do it right the first time . Plus it adds value to the truck to have Chromemoly certed cage . Looking at a 12 point with 2 swing out bars . I will post picks as im going through the build . He has to 25.2 a Nova before me as they are trying to get to the Goergia race .
