From what I've seen it looks like most guy's are custom building their cages although I think I've seen a couple of tiger cages. One company that I haven't seen come up was Autopower. The sell a bolt together cage for first gen Camaro's that is NASA and SCCA approved. I believe it retails for about $1000 now. I think you can find them at pegasusautoracing.com.

Default Mostly Custom....

Might help if you tell us what the use is for.
Looks / a little bit stiffer suspension in the right spots / SCCA (other sanctioning body) approval

I bought a second hand Chris Alston 12 point for my 69 Camaro. B pillar loop is great, I didn't like the fitment of the A Pillar bars (going with a custom dash) so I'm bending the tubes for the A pillars myself. I guess that makes it a 75% custom. Needed to be welded in, not a bolt in, just in case you want to know. And I'm using the other parts of the 12 point kit to stiffen the rear and front ends.

I'm lucky, I have access to a bender at work and the guys there are willing to help me figure out how to use it. Have friends that weld too. I looked for bolt in stuff, and the cost of a tiger cage (looks really damn nice) isn't what I can really afford. Other bolt in's didn't have the look I wanted, or didn't stiffen the car the way I wanted it stiffened up.
