chassis shop in East Texas or Dallas area?
 
We need a bar or cage put in our 2004 Corvette. Can someone recommend a good shop either near Tyler or DFW that does quality work? It still has the IRS and we don't plan to go to a 12-bolt.

Thanks.

Thanks. I can't believe I forgot them. I've seen their cars advertised for sale every once in a while and they seem like first class built race cars. They don't have a web site but I will call. They're only about an hour from me which is nice.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Called around today and talked to Vic at East Texas Race Cars. What a nice guy! The price was very good; not much more for a custom 8-point cage and net than what a prefabbed bolt-in 6-point costs from several places. Plus he puts in extra bars above the driver to keep them inside the car in case of a belt failure since the roof is removable. The best part (besides them doing FIRST class work from what I hear) is they keep the car for one week. Yep, one week. I was expecting months and months. That's what we are going to do this winter.

His shop is Specialty Metalcraft in Houston. Also Brink Racecraft in Arlington, just finished some work on my Buick, dida great job.
