🛠️ Why a Precision-Fit Cage Kit Saves You Time, Money, and Headaches
When it comes to building a race car chassis, the roll cage is one area where you can’t afford to cut corners. Whether you’re a weekend warrior building in your garage or a seasoned race shop turning out customer cars, every hour and every inch of tubing counts. At Moore Race Chassis, we’ve spent years perfecting our precision-fit roll cage kits so you don’t have to.
Here’s why more racers and builders are ditching the DIY bending for a smarter solution.
The DIY Struggle is Real
We’ve all heard it before: “I’ve got a tubing bender—I’ll just make my own cage.”
Sounds simple enough, right? Until you start bending. Then you realize the layout is off, the tube needs a tighter fit, you’re burning time coping tubes, and your stack of scrap metal is growing by the hour.
The reality is: building a cage from scratch isn’t cheaper when you factor in wasted materials, extra labor, and the learning curve. Most shops or home builders spend 20–40+ hours trying to replicate what we can ship to your door pre-bent and ready to tack in.
Fitment = Everything
Our kits are designed using 3D scanning and CAD modeling, which means every bar is built to fit your specific car like a glove. We measure inside real vehicles—not just body specs—and we account for everything: roof line curves, floor contours, and tricky pinch welds.
When your tubes actually fit, you spend less time grinding, reworking, or second-guessing. Just clamp, tack, and weld.
This kind of fitment:
-
Makes the build go faster
-
Improves weld quality and joint strength
-
Results in a cleaner, more professional final product
Certification Confidence
Whether you’re shooting for 8.50 NHRA or a full SFI 25.3 chassis, passing tech is non-negotiable. And this is where DIY cages most often fall short.
MRC cage kits are built with certification in mind from the first bend. That means every bar that needs to be there is included—and in the right spot. No guessing. No failed inspections. No scrambling to add a missing bar after the car’s painted.
We don’t sell kits that might pass. We sell kits that will.
Time Is Money — Save Both
When you’re running a race shop, time isn’t just money—it’s your margin. The less time you spend fitting and reworking a cage, the more builds you can knock out. If you’re building your own car, every hour saved means you’re one step closer to hitting the track.
Real builders report saving 20 to 30+ hours on a full install using our kits. Multiply that by your shop rate—or your free time—and it’s easy to see the value.
And let’s not forget: when a kit goes together smoothly, you avoid burnout, frustration, and costly do-overs.
Why MRC Kits Stand Apart
We design everything in-house, from 3D scan to final CNC bend. There are no guesswork cuts, no generic bar shapes, and no outsourcing. Just race-ready precision, built by racers—for racers.
Plus, we offer optional upgrades to make your life even easier:
-
Welded floors to save setup time
-
Precision-fit seat kits
-
Custom-sized Stroud window nets
-
Rear chassis kits that integrate seamlessly with our cages
Every add-on is designed to bolt or weld in with the same level of fitment and forethought as our main kits.
Ready to Build Smarter?
Whether you're building for yourself or a customer, don’t waste time trying to reinvent the wheel—or the cage. Our precision-fit kits take the guesswork out of the equation, so you can focus on doing what you do best: building fast, safe, professional-level race cars.
