Default Cage Help for WA State

Anyone know or could recommend any reputable shops in Washington State (could possibly travel to the Portland Oregon area) that could build & install a NHRA legal cage w/wheelie bar for my eg race car? It'll obviously needs to meet the NHRA AM class rule book (10/11sec pass legal). The only place I can think of is Art Morrison in Federal Way, though I've been told he doesn't do the installs anymore.. Any suggestions?

Where did you have your cage work done? are you planning on doing a wheelie bar in the future at all?

the cage is a kens kustom cage, prebent. we needed to notch it properly and cut just minor minor stuff off to make it fit in corectly. i did the cutting/fitment work myself and i hired a professional welder for $15hr. the guy tigs at work all day long and then we did my cage. what a dirt cheap price. he said he would tig anything i needed.
i dont plan on doin wheelie bars yet, my car is still heavy and i need to figure out the engine part of it first. i pull good 60's but the car needs to b lighter. im thinkin of taken next yr off in hopes to cut the car apart and lighten it via tube frame rear end. i have a design, just need the chromoly bent and figure out the rear suspension.
