Once I tech'd at rf's and brainerd the first time, they remembered the car and didn't even blink.
John still has the bender in his garage and can probably bend you up a hoop/bars to fit. I know he still has chrome moly as well. Remember that 4130 chrome moly needs to be tig welded, which is much more labor intensive and time consuming.
My next tba project will probably need a 6 point as well, but it will not be a drag car, and that is a good 5 years down the road before it will require one. Full Cages ruin street cars, rollbars are hardly noticeable when probably installed/fitted.

Yeah, that was built with that bender and dies we have still.
John, do you have pictures of Jesse's 6 point rollbar? I know that sucker fit REALLY nice. Everytime John does a cage, he gets it tighter and tighter fitting. Plus, with a few measurements, the main hoop, cross bar, and side bars can be fitted easily to your size (if you had a buddy welding it in, construction would be easy. For some reason, I thought you had a friend that welded).
Anywho, safety equipment is really nice to have, gives you a piece of mind when traveling at high rates of speed, and stiffens the chassis.
