    Late Apex Fabrication for roll cage/race prep needs

    Hey guys, I'm from Louisiana but I wanted to post a thread for anyone who may be interested in having a roll cage installed or have their car prepped for racing. It took me months to find a shop to do the cage due to the lack of info out there for cage builders in the TX/LA/MS area, so hopefully this thread will prevent that for people in the future. I decided to use Late Apex Fabrication in Fort Worth and could not be happier. It was a long haul from Baton Rouge, but the amazing communication and attention to detail these guys provide made it worth the drive. I had questions constantly throughout the build and they were answered immediately. Their fabrication skills are top notch; if you ask for it, they can do it. Below is the work they have performed (so far) on my car:

    Still need to add the deadpedal, window net, dash mount tabs, and electric kill switch tab, but the cage is done! I'm very pleased with the final outcome.

    Actually, I would be very weary of them. I've seen some extremely questionable cages from them, and many members on the NASAproracing forum said that the work they've seen wont pass tech.

    Ive seen Racefab cars at NASA events and their cars roll over at speed, with zero failure. They do high quality work

    The cage is done and I'm anxious to drive it! Late Apex Fabrication is definitely a top notch Texas cage builder. Their customer service was awesome throughout the whole process, which was a relief since I am from out of state. I will definitely be doing business with them during future builds.

    Nice build. The subframe tie-in is intense!
    What did they charge for that cage?
