I have a chromolly Wolfe 10 point cage with through the floor subframe connectors. Where is a good place and price to get it installed?
 
The cage is not jig notched, I wanted the installer to have the freedom to tuck and hide the bars a little bit. I called around a few of the local shops and got quotes of $1500-$3000 just to install it. If it is going to be that much I would probably get rid of the chromoly cage and buy a ms cage and mig weld it myself. I was just curious of what an install typically runs. I guessed it would be $800-$1000 but I almost fell out of my seat at the $3000 quote. The $1500 price isn’t too bad and I know he does good work but it’s still a little more than I can afford at this time. Thanks guys for the pm's and the other shops that I didn't call yet.
 
if you remove the interior its probably like 100-150 a point. you would have to trim the IP and panels though

WOW $3000 did that include the subs? we usually do subs and 10 pt for $3200 but that includes the subs(which are full length) and the cage, window net and 5 pt harness! I guess that why were always busy!

I have the subs and the pre-fabed tubing. How much would you charge to install it? The interior will be out and I am not concerned with having the cross bar under the dash installed at this time. I could have the car ready to go next weekend if I find someone to install it.
 
My cage was done by Stenod. They're the only one's I've dealt with ever. I will defiantly deal with them again, awesome work.
 
I had Stenod convert my 6-point to a 10-point many years ago and the work was excellent, and they've only gotten better at it since then. Without hesitation I will take my chassis work there in the future and I feel that their prices are always fair for the quality of work delivered.

I have also seen Team Z's work and it is excellent as well.
 
seen team z's work! very nice!

reiter's metal craft does awesome work as well!

either of the 2 would be a good choice! both shops have a lot of talent!:thumbsup:
 
Stenod does top notch work, fast, and reasonable. They just cut out the old cage, and installed a chromoly 10 point in my notchback. Bars are tight, can barely see it from outside the car.

Yes and no.
I just bouthg a rolling chassis yesterday that already has a cage in it. I am going to put the motor and trans I am building in the new car. I did have talk to a few of the shops/people but I was probably going to have Reiters do it because I have seen his work and it looks good. But now I am going to have to sell the roll cage because it is no longer needed. Is anyone interested in a 10 point chromolly Wolfe roll cage with through the floor subframe connectors for a hatch back? Its new and never opened and cost over $1000 with everything from Wolfe.
 
The cage is on CL on Milan's board if anyone is interested in it. I no longer need this cage. Thanks for the help everyone.
