Cutler Huge Member Region: Detroit Car #: 5 Year : 1991 Posts: 1029 Status: Offline posted         I have a friend building an ITA Golf GTI and he's considering farming out the roll cage construction. Ideally, it would be someone who can build a safe, light, well built cage with decent welding. (ie: No brother-in-laws who can lay bird shot on a joint and call it welding.) Does anyone know of a good roll cage builder here in MI or OH or a nearby state ? d mathias Member Region: OVR Car #: 88 Year : 1991 Posts: 2401 Status: Offline posted         This guy does really nice work. (I have no interest other than I've used his services). He usually has a back-log of jobs. http://www.rollcageguy.com/ Motor City Hamilton Member Region: Great Lakes/Detroit Car #: 51 Year : 1994 Miata Posts: 401 Status: Offline posted         Chris Childs angrysheepmotorsports.com 810 417 7777 Chris does a lot of work for the OEMs for show cars and has built dozens of cages for people around Detroit. His team did my Miata cage and I think I was the 11th they had done. I highly recommend their work! I think Chris even did the cage on the Nissan 350Z that lost his brakes doing 120mph down the back straight and went out of the park at Mid Ohio last summer. He cleared China Beach and two catch fences, totaled the car and walked away. The photos of that crash were floating around on this site somewhere. Nigel Stu Member Region: Detroit Car #: 66 Year : 1992 Posts: 105 Status: Offline posted            I can second both of those recommendations and agree with both comments. rollcageguy did the cage in the 350Zs I've raced and Chris did the cage in my Miata. Chris was great to work with, designed the cage for added strength and really looked at the detail to make things fit just right and just how I wanted it. His welding guy puts down some great stuff too. Tell him I sent ya. -------------------- Ben Schaut Schaut Speed Motorsports GLDiv / WHRRI #66 Blue/White/Black D.B.

Both are top notch (no pun intended). -------------------- Scott Rhea It's not what you build... it's how you build it Izzy's Custom Cages Printer-friendly view of this topic | Subscribe To Topic Hop To: Select a Forum:   Category: SpecMiata.com -------------------- Spec Miata Spec Miata Garage Spec Miata Rules & Competition Spec Miata Competition Tires Spec Miata Safety Spec Miata Setup Guide Spec Miata Data Acquisition NASA PTE/E3 Spec Miata to FProd SMulators Spec Miata Frequently Asked Questions Showroom Spec Miata Pro Miata Spec Miata Enduro Spec Miata Virtual Swap Meet SMTV Back Fire Announcements   Category: Spec Miata Archives -------------------- Spec Miata 2001-2009 Garage 2002-2009   Category: Sports Car Club of America -------------------- SCCA North-East SCCA South-East SCCA Great Lakes SCCA Central SCCA Mid-West SCCA South-West SCCA Rocky Mountain SCCA North Pacific SCCA San Francisco Region SCCA South Pacific   Category: National Auto Sport Association -------------------- NASA Discussion NASA Northeast NASA Southeast NASA Central NASA Midwest NASA Northwest NASA Southwest   Category: Mid Western Council -------------------- MWC Discussion
