You can get a NHRA-legal roll cage, 8 points with main hoop, rear braces, forward hoops, windshield bar, harness bar and main hoop diagonals; 1.625 (1 5/8") 4130 chrom-moly, stationary door bars, TIG-welded/installed, unpainted for $3650. This done by a professional cage builder who is a SFI-certified and perform tech inspection duties at various tracks.
