what is a good price for a 25.5 c/m cage for a 2nd gen f-body (70-81 camaro/firebird). i got a price of 1900 to make a cage and i weld it in but the shop is few states over. or if some one local has a tubing bender and some free time and ants to make some money.

the shop i talked with mainly deals with stangs and if they do my cage it will be what they sell so my cage would be a proto type for the f-bodys. all they are going to do is bend the tubing and i or some else do all the other work.

to be a legal 25.5 its going to have to be chrome molly and all tig welded, i know to 25.2 or 25.5 a 4th gen you're looking at about 7000-10000 maybe a 2nd gen will be cheaper

i can tig weld that no problem it bending the tubing and knowing where everything has to go. i got the sfi book for 25.5. so 1900. is a great price for a c/m 25.5 cage all bent up ready to weld. but the 13 hour drive is the bad part and 780 miles one way.
