Talking Weld in roll cage

My car has reached that point where I'm stepping up to a roll cage. My question is, does anyone know of any reputable fabrication/race shops in the southeast that could build a cage for my car? I'm located in Atlanta, but I don't mind driving and dropping off the car out of state if need be. I'm just trying to call around and get pricing and turn around times. Thanks for the help in advance!

Thanks, I'm not sure if Top Speed does in house cages, I will give them a call. I know Forged does, but as long as I live I will never take my car to their shop, lol. I'm trying to stay away from Import/Speed shops. I want it performed at true race shop. SCCA/NASA legal cage. I've found the Import/Speed shops have a tendency to charge more for the less quality work, in the department of race prep. Not trying to down play their fabrication skills just the experience level and confidence.

If you are okay with a little bit of a drive, Kirk Racing is located in Alabama. Maybe 3.5 to 4 hours from Atlanta I think.

The best FITTING and functional cages i've seen have been coming from Race Car Builders out of Stuart. Most people can't even tell I have a cage until they look inside the car. ALL he does is cages and chassis.

Just received my roll cage today from Auto power. Very well built. It is a bolt in cage, but IS SCCA and NASATT approved. I got the complete cage and seat back braces for $1067.00. Not sure this helps but thought I'd throw it out there.

Interesting, I didn't know that the AP cages were SCCA and NASATT approved. I'm dead set on a welded in cage though. I want some serious door bars. I plan on one day running a few hill climbs which require door bars. But let me know how the fit and finish is.

Thanks CB

Mouse FWIW I wouldn't take your car to Forged for a boost gauge install much less a weld in cage ( possibly live saving mod) job.

If you have any questions about Piper or Forged feel free to PM me for more info.
