Default Custom cage builders in upper Midwest (Chicago) area?

Fellow Rennlisters,

I am looking for cage builder for my soon-to-be-F-stock 968. Seems that one can get the full benefit for a few dollars more, looking for recommendations.

The car will become full track beast, so removal is not really an issue. Any and all locals that I can drive to in short order welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Fischer Motors in Barrington IL did my cage. Give Rick Fischer a call at 847-304-8822. He is a great guy and can help ya out. Tell him Mo sent ya.

My buddy is having a custom rollbar (not cage) installed by Perfect Power right now. Why the he*L you'd get a custom rollbar I have no idea. Maybe you CAN have too much money.

Autosport - located just south of Indy. Might be a bit of a drive, and you might have to wait in line, but Greg Risk is one of the best cage builders around...Works of art and functional too!

317-862-5372.

Good Luck!

Jason,
I agree 100%. He did my cage. Also forgot to mention he is very reasonable and does a quick turn around.

P.S. Give me a ring or email as my friend Jerry may have a trailer for you.

Thanks all. Keep them coming. I do have work done at Fischer's, Rick's a good guy and just did clutch, rod bearings, and motor mounts (original clutch at 136k miles = not bad; too bad it took the flywheel with it).

I had seen what seemed to be a number of very nice custom 968/944/951 cages posted here from time to time. I welcome your input as I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more for a good one, hopefully nothing that will dent the suspension budget too much!

Hey Greg - Tell Jerry sorry I haven't had time to call him back. I'll work something out with him on his trailer and will try to call him tomorrow to discuss.
