I'd like to take the neon back to Stenod to get the work done but I haven't been able to reach them via the email address they state on their answering machine..

I'm looking for a qualified shop that can do the following:

1. Finish Cage - turn existing 6pt into NHRA 9.5 second certified, with window net, parachute mount & release, etc
2. Fab engine belly pan per NHRA SFWD requirement
3. Reinforce Unibody - tie cage to front strut towers through firewall, reinforce k-frame
4. Mount (2) Kirkey Seats
5. Modify existing motor mounts - move engine forward and down and rotate to set axles level & straight.
6. Patch sheetmetal holes in firewall & cowl

I'm looking to get this work done over the next 2 months, so I can get the car painted over the winter. Any suggestions?

Ask for Todd. I'm sure he can help you out. They did an AWESOME job on my Uncle's 69 Shelby and have done TONS of work for guys here
 
I second Todd. He did the cage in my car. Give him a call...not sure how much cage work he's still doing though.

Definately goto Reiter's... They are well worth it... They have done a lot of work and I have seen their work... And well worth it... That's where the SRT is going to go in 2012... :bowrofl:

You going to try to tie the unibody like this?

Thanks folks. I'll contact Todd at Reiters, and the other suggestions I received through PM (Victory, etc). If anyone can suggest a shop that has specific experience building cages to NHRA requirements, that would be great.

Thanks. Its a 97. Paul? I don't think I know of a shop owner named Paul. But who knows, I've had the car in a lot of shops over the years for various things.

PARE racing engines. Might have been someone else. Guy I talked to had a 98 with a 2.4 swap (i think)
