Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

Good luck trying to get a hold of anyone at Autoweld. I called 3 times and talked to the owners wife, and asked her to have someone call me back. I was prepared to spend at least $2500 on products. Looks like great products but cust. service blows. They lost my business.

Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

i have no pics but if i can get ahold of them i'll ask. where you put the rear bars depend on 2 things though 1 the height of the hoop installed and the angle of your rear bars.. that all depends on who installs your cage. i used to work in a chassis shop in VA for 8 years. if anyone wanted me to install their cage i have the equiptment and welders to do so

If you can't get them try S&W Race Cars. They run a big sale on cages every winter.

Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

heres the skinny on the group buy. i spoke to Ron @ Autoweld and he said 5 is the minimum for a group buy. also he said that where we could really save $$ (about 150.00 to ship a cage) is on shipping. ie you could ship 2 cages for almost the price of 1. maybe we could group the ship locations also a 1 week lead time is the norm. i no problem getting in touch with them. phipp

Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

What kind of discount would a 5+ group buy get? $150 to ship a cage. I might as well go pick it up. (If I do pick it up I would be willing to pick it up for other members as well)

Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

im interested too, im only about 35 miles from them. if shipping is the only savings it wouldn't benefit me at all as i would be picking mine up anyway. but if it helps the purchase price im in. whenever i called there i always got good customer service.

Re: Roll cage group buy anyone??????

When are you looking to do this group purchase? I might be interested in one for a 82 C10.
