Default Does anyone make a pre-fabbed C5 cage?

I'll cut the roof off my FRC, and I can do the door bars myself, but does anyone out there make a pre-fabbed cage I can buy and or modify to fit in my C5? My goal is to have an SCCA legal cage in the car. I can TIG weld, but I don't have a bender. Any suggestions appreciated!

Autopower makes the rear section but not a full cage for the C5.

Not sure if they are good quality or not, I just saw they're available.

I'd also be curious about premade cages as I'd like to get one for Hill Climbs. I spoke with Joe and while his work is simply incredible it's out of my budget.

I purchased their roll bar that I installed in my 97 and then in my 03Z. The roll bar is the rear part of the cage.

Here is the link to their bolt in roll cage page:

Im in Akron, Ohio and If you bought my whole shell as pictured,
you have a great SCCA cage done originally by Phoenix. This was my 2003 Z06 from the 2010 SCCA Run-Offs Crash. I parted it all out, what you see is what you get.

Cut the roof off and remove cage and reinstall in your car. PM me if your interested and I will give you my number.

Even though not pictured, the decklid, steering column, and clutch/brake pedal assy is included.
