Regardless of the chassis, if you're going racing you should only be considering a custom cage. The first thing you need to decide is what class are you building for? Prepared and Sport only allow a 6+2 cage. Modified and GTS allow for far more ellaborate cages. The interior of your car will have to go. Don't even think about driving the car on the street after it's caged.

Shop around for reputable race shops. Meet the cage builder and sit down and discuss your wants and needs. Review the rules book thoroughly. A cage is permenant. You want to get it right. When I did my cage for my IP car, I studied cage designs at length before collaborating with a local race shop on my cage design.

RRT is probably one of the better shops in the country, let alone your area. You may also want to contact Jason Crist for advise. He's near you and has built two cars. I believe Jason was the lead instructor in your school.
