Mark Artis aka Texas Thunder Performance Roll Cage
I know most of you probably dont follow my build in the new hemi section. I wanted to share this to make sure that you avoid using him if possible. I know recently he did a blue road runner that was very fast. I wish I could find that guy to ask him to check all his weld. I have absolutely no doubt that if I had crashed my car at 150 plus mph I would have died in the crash. That is not being dramatic, that is what 3 NHRA cage inspectors told me. All of them told me to cut the cage out and start over. This is a guy I trusted, I guy I thought was my friend. I took the car straight from him to the paint shop and didnt scrutinize the cage like I should of. He did an on job of welding the joints that showed. These pictures are the backside and bottoms of basically all the welds. At this point he will not stand behind his work because I cut the cage out. I would not allow him to cut it loose and re-weld it. First off, it would never pass certification, second my life and safety are worth more to me than letting this man touch my car to do anything else to it. Judge for yourself. If you know the guy from houston that Mark did his b5 blue road runner in the last 6-9 month PLEASE have him check the welds.
