I have a new project starting and need to have an 8-point roll cage installed in an '86 MR2. Are the Benson brothers the #1 and only choice or is there a closer-to-Reno alternative that will do as fine a job?

I would not have the B brothers do a cage that my life depended on. Take it down the hill to TC Design in Milpitas: http://www.tcdesignfab.com/

They do top notch work. Gary Sheehan had them do his cage as I recall.

I saw a few bars in Porsches that David at C&C built. Pretty awesome.

Dave at C&C does great work, I just wonder how much time they have currently, their shop is jammed. Twisted Metal did Jim U's vette and it sure looks awesome. They quoted me $2300 to build one for my old C5 vert. I would definately talk with the Benson's also, they did Doug D's Porsche and unlike Dean I would trust their work. Lastly give the guy at Autopower a call, he is usually pretty easy to chat up and he does a lot of bars.
