Anybody have any experience putting a cage in a 54 studebaker coupe? I see lots of cars with cages, but no kits listed online. Anybody have a vendor they like?

Home made.
All Stude's have the same basic body dimensions. When I was looking, none were made that fit tightly to the body of the car. Way too far inboard of the inner body lines.
A friend and I bought a cheap hand bender and built a complete, bumper to bumper NHRA legal, roll cage for my 60 Lark wagon. Want attachment points, my Lark has, 14 roll cage weld points, from cage to frame.
Will post a link when I get home.

The local race chassis builder, was similar. None of these were anything like the ones used in true vintage cars. Perhaps, you could contact a local track, and find who builds contemporary chassis. There is a chance someone has the knowledge and skill to build one that meets current rules and could pass inspection. In addition, if there is a member of the appropriate "Vintage Racer Organization," for what you are building, they should be able to set you on the right path.
What ever happens, please keep us updated. It sounds like a fun project to me.John Clary
