North Carolina cage fabrication?
I am looking to do a custom weld in rollbar + door bars (I am 6'3" and none of the off the shelf bars fit me well). Can anyone recommend a cage fabricator within a few hours drive of Durham NC? I talked to competition cages in hillsboro and they seemed more interested in selling me one of their spec miata cages. Performance chassis in Cary is currently without a fabricator. There are several roll cage fabricators in Charlotte, does anyone have a positive experience with one?

Hyper Formance and Ben Lewallen are both on facebook. They do work for a number of local SCCA guys between Greenville and Charlotte. Check on offroad4x4, too. There are a ton of cage fabricators out your way that deal mostly with rock crawlers, but could bend up a main hoop and door bars no problem.

This is going to be your man.

No personal expereince but I've known guys who love his work and have tested it.
I wouldn't recommend Hard Dog. They're a production only shop. If they dont' have a jig for it they don't seem interested.

There's a gentleman we've known for some years who might be interested (I really don't know.) He focuses on Spec E30 cages now, but he's done Miata stuff in the past. He's in Greenville, SC. Since you're having some issues finding a place, at least it's a name.

I wanted to bump this- I am willing to drive to Atlanta or Ohio if necessary.
sharkythesharkdogg: Do you have any information for that guy other than the blank website? I am going the weld in route and want to see someone's work before make an irreversible addition to the car.

I've Professionally worked with E-Speed (owners name is estus). they are a dealer of ours and are extremely professional. they have been building mazdas since the 1990's. Without hesitation i could recommend them. i've seen their cages and they do top notch work. Quoted price on a spec Maita cage was in the low 2k range (included painting). they where willing to do changes. give them a call. (704) 933-4446
they had this on display at MSX this year.
