Default Cage Builder in South East

Anyone have any suggestions on a cage builder in the South Eastern United States. I am in North Florida about 4 hours due south of Atlanta in Tallahassee. I have had suggestions about Kirk, Forged Performance, Riggins Racing, and Robinson Racing. Tommy Riggins builds GT tube frame cars so I'm not sure if he has had experience with a Z but the expertise is there.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Also, for any of you that have had a cage built, what prices am I looking at for a Spec legal cage? I want to build a 4 point initially until I buy a truck and then carry the cage forward.

Robinson Racing built a cage for us on a 370Z. He did a very good job and would not hesitate to use him again.

There is a bar that goes forward from the base of the door bar forward to the the base of the firewall/bulkhead just to the left of the clutch pedal area. Same on teh passenger side foot well area. For the roof there is a bar that goes right down the center of the car from rear of the halo bar to the front of the halo bar near the front windshield. I'll get a couple more photos for you once I am back at the shop.

Not the best quality photos, but here are a few more of the areas I have been asked about in PMs:

Driver and passenger side foot well area, bar extending to firewall/bulkhead




Main hoop bar connection to floor at B-pillar area just behind the seat




Center bar connecting front and rear halo bars
