C.O.R.E. FORUM - View Single Post - Roll Cage Welding

Ok, this is going to be a little out of the norm, but bare with me. I'm building a drag truck out of a 4x4 Dodge 2500 chassis and am in need of roll cage. I'm not really looking for something to be custom built as I'd prefer to buy a prebent kit and have someone weld it in for me. I know the prebent kits don't always fit that great, but it should be more than sufficient for this project.

So here's where I need your guys' help. Who in the Cincinnati area has experience with welding cages? I only know of one race car shop and they're already booked through May. A member of another forum I'm a part of mentioned Mike Karwath aka Carwash may be able to help or point me in the right direction, so hopefully he'll see this and chime in.

Other than that, I'm open to advice, ideas, and/or opinions. I know a couple of good welders, but would really prefer someone who is used to building cages.

Cage will be Chromoly so it will have to be TIG'd.
