this is what the guy that did the cage charges.
$2800 For the base cage out of mild steal.
$1000 for those that opt for all chro-moly
$950 to paint the cage
$850 For the Air Jacks/ NASCAR Door Beams
$1600 for all the Lexan ,Gutting out the doors, and installing an MR roof panel for us. dont know how those broke down
Yes i did spend $7200 on the whole thing and no he didnt include and vasiline. But it is the best and to not add any weight from the way the car was worth it.
If we had to do it again i would say just get the base cage for $2800 and then have someone else paint it. I learned my lesson on not asking how much it was going to cost and just saying yeah add that, add that, and this, and that.

whenever I get around to getting a cage I'm pretty sure I wont have as many cross bars to save weight.

i just wanted to stay alive....
well i have chassis shop literally 5 minutes away from my house
i plan on getting there for a guesstimate for a cage made of cro-mo...
i did think about a pro stock style but its not really necessary but looks cool
a bit overkill

The Air Jacks are actually KSport. we havent used them yet as we've been slacking on making lines and finishing the install they should be finished up by the new year....

It scared me shiatless to drive that car back from the track on major freeways. I had the harness on extra tight and more then a couple times I almost stopped so I could get my helmet out of my car on the trailer to wear on the street.
I was paranoid the whole drive home.
Looking back, it was probably a really stupid thing to do because you never know what might happen. If a car had hit me on the way home I would probably be a vegetable right now or dead. A real cage has bars pretty damn close to your head and even the harness wouldn't stop your head from contacting them and splitting open like a melon.
That said, thanks again Marshall!
