im looking to start doing roll cages at my house . im located in alliance, ohio. its near canton, ohio, which is close to the football hall of fame. i work at a chassis shop and i do all the cages that come in there.
i want to make some extra money to help out my typhoon project. i can put any kind of cage you want in. i have done 3 s-series trucks with a 6 point cage, but i have done in total about 30 cages so far.
ive done chevelles, 55 chevys, buick gn's, s-10's, mustangs, gto's, vega's, novas, camaros, and corvettes.
im going to have very resonable prices, cause i want to eventually open my own shop.
here is a link of a buick riviera that i did, which is a full tube chassis. its a chromoly chassis. hopefully it works.

ok. ill try and answer all questions.
obviously the more "points" your cage has the stiffer its going to be. i would NOT recomend a bolt in style. they flex= junk.
i do all cages in 1-5/8" mild steel or chromoly tubing. unless your going to get certified/teched. then its a different story. you have certain tubing your allowed in certain areas . it gets more technical.
as in welding. i would suggest getting all the joints tig welded. cause tig looks cleaner and looks professional. though nothing against mig. mig can also look good and professional. just some people can only weld in a straight line anf they have a hard time doing tubing.
i can do both..mig or tig.
harness bar is the bar that goes behind the steats, horizontal with the main hoop. (see pics). this can be removeable so people can get in the back seat. unless your getting certified or teched then it needs to be fully welded in, not bolted.
i see no problem in having a camera mount somewhere in the cage. pins are ok in certain areas like swingouts(door bars, they run down the side of your seat) and removable harness bar.
if your getting a cage done, why get cheap and use your factory seatbelt harness. just get a 4 or 5 point harness. you dont have to hope the seatbelts are going to lock
painting is up to you. honestly i use a satin black paint and it looks awesome. it blends good and you can just sand a part or area to add something. you can get powercoated . but almost 100% it need to be bolted in, unless your gonna lift the body off the frame and all.
now for the pics
this is a 1966 ford fairlane im doing right know. note he has a halo/funny car cage around him. this is going to be certified to run in the 6's. its a all chromoly chassis.
this is a 68 camaro im doing. its also a full chromoly chassis. at this stage it has a four point cage. this can be done in your syty. with the addition of 2 down bars to the rear. that would make it a 6-point cage
this is in a nova that one of the other guys did. it a mild steel cage. its a very basic design. i can do this in a sy with an lexan back window
i nope this helps you all out. i can do a cage in about a week (5-7 days), if your wondering depends on what you want. if you need something done let me know. anymore qusetion just ask, or call me (330) 206-9406--justin
