I know it isn't a cage but Ron Showers can set you up with a real nice cage. I installed my roll bar, I asked Ron to make the bars so I wouldn't have to remove any interior door components and he bent the bars very well. It was a simple install and it was my first install. Nice precise bends and the only trimming was the back bars to the trunk area. 4933392-dart200718.JPG (285 downloads) 2011 & 2012 Beaver Springs Dragway Outlaw Street Champion 2012 BSD Friday Street Racer Driver of the Year 3-time Jr. Stock Eliminator 2-time Mean Street Eliminator '69 340 Dart 1.500 60ft, 11.359et, 117.08mph

If you going to spend the extra money for DOM you might as well use 'Moly instead. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

The fit was good I also opt for the rear seat option if interested tell them .I got all C/M nice fit only had to bend the rear bars from 40deg to 45deg because I wanted to move then to a diff location because of my battery box. 4936686-paulsrollbar009.jpg (145 downloads)

dizuster master D Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 3,635 Oakland, MI	You have to look around, I bought DOM for hardly any more money then ERW. It was another 70% more to get moly... But if you're looking for tight finish, you need to bend them yourself. That way it will end up exactly how you want it. Here's some pics of mine, nice and tight...
