You should email sergio, troy, and/or zachreligous. All of them are Lemons vets based in the Houston area and should have some good suggestions.

Is it a pre-bent cage? What exactly do you need done?

Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here
Gator-O-Rama 2014 "Waiting for the Last Minute Call from the Governor Award" -who's counting? John

Re: Roll cage help in Houston please!

Thanks guys appreciate it....the cage has the large hoop the will sit acroos each B piller, behind the driver and a second hoop the forms the roof part of the cage.  We have two 45 degree bent sections for the front A piller areas.  Then its a load of straight sections, one end has been nothced for welding to another tubular, all with one end square cut which needs trimming and notching......
Then weld weld weld....we are more than happy to get stuck in and help but need some skills and equipment!
I'll contact the suggested places
Thanks again
