Default Roll cage Fabrication?

I'm thinking about custom roll cage (6 pt.) fabrication and I'm trying to research exactly what type of material I need (I've seen 1020 mild steel mentioned) and different techniques as far as construction and meeting points. I don't need anything super fucken trick, just a base cage that I will build. Any good sites on construction or advice?
Thanks homies

Oh, also pipe sizes.

thickness, attachment points all have to do with rules.. depends on what u want.. to run legal 1/4 or just for extra street safety.

You know, I don't really like myself that much. That's why apc showtubes crossed my mind.
Thanks for the info, guys

what about the stick-um-on cross drilled rotors, the speaker bov, and the 7lb hubcaps that look like rims.
