so it looks like AAM won't have their roll bar out anytime soon, the last I heard 2 months ago was that they were looking for a Z to put it on out there. They haven't since replied to my emails

So back to the drawingboard.

Anyone know of a place doing NHRA legal Roll Bars for the Z?

Redzone Race Fabrication in Simi Valley have done Z cages before. They do 100% custom cages and excellent work. They've caged two of my road race cars but their primary focus is NHRA import chassis fab. Ask for Nick. 805-527-9899

I just got around calling them, they want $2000 PLUS Parts for a freaking Roll Bar....

UNBELIEVABLE

why are these people overcharging so much just because we have an import.
The guy was ultra rude as well
Too bad because they are 5 minutes from my job

so no to Redzone Fabrications and yet again back to the drawing board

make sure you get chromoly and you know you only need a 5 point roll bar till you trap 135 or run 9.99

Roll cages aren't cheap. $2k isn't bad for a custom cage.

cachassisworks.com charges $189.00 for a 8 point NHRA legal roll bar....
if it's custom it's a 100 more. The have a good reputation as well
they are just not in southern cali, but I might just drive up there

Jegs has roll bars from $150 to $250 NHRA legal 8 points

Roll Bars are cheap, it's just ripp off companies that overcharge because it's an import

THE TECH

I've never seen bars that cheap. News to me I guess.

here's an example of Ford roll bars and cages from Jegs

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=19427

if you scroll down you see a full blown 8 point roll bar for a 2005 mustang for $149.95

they just don't have them for the Z but why should it cost $1800 more for a z?????

I think he's just talking about a bar and not a cage..

I seriously doubt you can get a chromoly roll cage 5 or whatever point for that cheap.

Are you talking about just a harness bar?

The real cost of a cage is the fitting and welding. Figure 30 hours to properly remove and replace all interior, clean all mounting points, but all pipes and mounting pads to fit, tig weld all joints. Most shops charge $60 an hour.

I've done cages in 3 cars and the cheapest one was $1850

I am talking about an 8 point NHRA legal Roll Bar

fyi if you lolok at that same link, the Roll Cage is $259
