if it had been Dallas, then I could have directed you toward some decent chassis shops. Find a good one in your area and get friendly with them...

I wouldn't install my own cage in something as stout as you plan on making it.. Heck I wouldn't trust 90% of the chasis shops out there.. Your life is dependent on it, and it's the back bone of your entire car..for the amount of coin your going to drop.. Don't skimp on safety.

If it runs under 10.0, he has to have the cage certified by NHRA. They aren't going to accept anything but the highest level of welding. Its just another indication that the plan is not well thought out.
