On the subject of roll cages....
Im thinking of having James do me cage, something along the lines of a basic 6 pt with some extra stuff. But I also may search around for a pre-fab kit, weld it in myself and probably have some extra stuff down later on before the interior goes back in.
Give me sites for companies that do cages.

Germ, the biggest thing with those pre-bent cages is making sure it fits how you like it. You're not exceptionally tall so it may not matter to you, but I like a clean cage that tucks up into the roof and pillars. Its a shame you didn't decide on a cage before NMRA because then you could look at the cages you like and find out if it's a kit.
Honestly, if the car won't be that fast to where you have to worry about being NHRA legal, I'd get one of those Kenny Brown street cages and weld it in. I like how their forward bars are very low and run down near the bottom of the seat. And the rest is a normal 4 point cage. That will stiffen the chassis nicely and still let you drive it every day.
