roll cage

CHEATHAM said

I called and called and left messages for someone to call me back at Auto Weld about some questions i had about a ladder bar kit and i never got a call back nor could i ever get a technician to pick up the phone so after a couple of months i went with S&W Chassi they were cheaper and a nice looking product

I've never installed Autoweld components, but I'd like to, as I've been told through other fabricators, that they have excellent products!
With respect, I must disagree about having a custom cage made. There are times when it is deemed necessary, but safer? I guess that all depends on the application. But, for a car to run down into the nines(?), how can you beat pre-bent systems from Alston, S&W, and Competition Engineering?? Unless you have the tools to do all the bending, know the shrinkage, bend radius, material take-up (you get the idea, the scrap pile can get big), in most cases, you may be better off getting a pre-bent unit. I"ve never had any issues with any "kit cages" not passing NHRA certifications due to under-thickness in bend radius, plate thickness, etc..
Good luck with your build-up!
