Roll cages in DFW?

Anyone know where I can pick up a mild steel roll cage? 8 point would be nice. They are 169$ through Jeg's but 99$ shipping... yuck.

Think about the reason for needing a roll cage.

Then think about how much tubing it takes to build an 8 point cage.

Then go price PVC pipe at home depot. 60' of PVC is about 1/2 the purchase price of that Jeg's cage. Decent steel is much more expensive than PVC.

For $200, the material used in those "cheaper" cages doesn't afford much protection.

We built this cage ...

in a 3rd gen for road racing.

And we just finished this cage in a 2000 Trans AM ...

You can save shipping since they are here in Ft Worth. I picked up my door panels a couple of weeks ago. Very nice products.
