Doug, I don't think that's a 'fair' reply.  There are a lot of things
that the race car owner can do himself.  Building a roll cage is not out
of that realm.  

If Paul wants to get educated, buy (rent or borrow) the proper tools and
bend his own tubing, that works.  I know many race car owners/drivers
that have built their own cage.  In fact, SCCA is very specific about
materials and specifications.  That's a good place to start.  In
addition, SCCA or any sanctioning body will inspect the cage to assure
it meets their eligibly requirements.
