There is no cage "kit" that will fit the car anywhere near as nice, as a custom bent cage. Most are generic enough anyone at home can weld them in, with room to spare. A cage should be tight to the A pillars, and not create any extra blind spots if done correctly.
Here are a couple that I have done.

I believe the "blind spot" concern is in reality often a compromise, being in street car its a much greater concern, but on track, removing a blind spot often also removes some design integrity. Pick your poison. Your pics certainly look nice and tight BTW.

I used (ART) Applied Racing Technology in Clearwater Fl. they are good guys to deal with and their notching and extra supplied tubing was long enough if you want to make any small changes, I put a 10 point in my 67 Bbody and it fit good. I see you are in the NW so shipping might be prohibitive.
Sorry honey I spent the rent

Your input is appreciated thanks matt Talk to moparts member Forest. He is a chassis guy in eastern WA. Agreed with Andy, he is good. Always moly on everything here. Way less weight. All the pre bent and catalog stuff is just a fits all OK deal. If you are particular about the fitment and all the details, have it done by a legit good place. If the details and perfect fitment don't matter that much to you, a catalog or pre bent deal will work fine. Just my experience.

Forest built my back half 1965 Dart 270 to SFI specs for certifying it to 7.50 ET I also had him update the cage in my chrome moly tube chassis 1970 Cuda to meet the same specs He is in the Tri City area of WA, I think he lives in Pasco, WA As far as which materials to use it is your choice but a mild steel car will flex and wear out with use and time, NHRA and SFI limit a mild steel car to 8.50 ET and slower in the 1/4 mile Chrome moly doesn't wear out and it is way stronger and lighter weight when finished I found a current picture of the work he did on my S/P Cuda several years back to update it to pass the 7:50 ET certification specs. The Dart he did for me is a lot nicer but it is not finished yet, I'm still waiting for custom made Carbon Fiber and Kevlar front end and doors to be made so I can finish it

Out of curiosity...what does a custom bent six point setup cost for a 68-70 B body? Im looking for a ballpark figure Really depends on who does the work. I had a local chassis guy do the roll bar in my Duster and he did a great job in just a couple of days for a few hundred dollars. A big name shop might take weeks to get around to the job and charge you 5 times as much.

costs vary from place to place .. QUALITY varies from place to place .. We have a local guy that does "ok" work ,, on that pic Andy posted , he would charge easily $1500 for that , another guy north of me about 100 miles does amazing work and prices are fair and he is booked solid for a year or more

6 pt. cost me well over $600 at a local race fab shop a few years ago. Now over $700 from what I understand.
Nothing beats a custom made, bent for your car cage, though!
