[mrbubblehead]

im totaly bummed out about this. after about 50 hours of research and electrical work on my new toy, i found this while hooking up my fuel line.





its really bad. to the point where i dont think its safe to drive the car.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

do you guys think this is something i should try fix this myself and box it in? im not sure my fab skills are up to the task....

or should i leave this one up to the professionals? is there a shop in so cal. that is competent enough to fix this? forgive my noobieness for not knowing any shops around. i'm not out to insult anyone. i just dont want a hack job. i could do that myself. LOL

Better check the other side too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

IMHO - get 1 or 2 new repro consoles from Restoration Design (see member vendors & banner ad) & replace one or both - don't try to patch those up, cuz they'll just continue to rust & fail later. IIRC - AA also sells them in repro form.

If not up to your skills, PM to Ed Arango in HB, or to Kevin/kconway in Long Beach about his guy referred to me below -

Tom,
I received a call from Milt Becker this morning and he said he would be interested in speaking to you about your car and perhaps coming out to take a look. You can reach him at this number: 562-424-5943. Not sure of his schedule but if you leave a message he's sure to get back to you.
Good luck,
Kev

I think both guys can bring their eqpt. to your place to do the work, and Ed may be using the same guy. I haven't used either one yet, so ask them for referrals.

PS - no, definitely NOT safe to drive that way!
