Okay, well after a day thinking about my day at the track yesterday I am quite curious what it would cost to get someone else to fix the hell-hole. I honestly dont even know anyone close to New Orleans that would work on this thing. Anyone got any ideas of a reputable shop in my vicinity and what I should expect to pay.
I have access to my own shop and a couple really good welder buddies but I am just intimidated by the project. Some of the repairs I have seen here are so extensive |

One last question...I have been looking at this all day and I am thinking that I may start this project just as soon as it gets too hot here to enjoy the car any longer (probably in spring). There are only so many months of nice weather in Louisiana and I want to enjoy it running while I can. How safe is it to drive as a daily driver if I am not really beating on it that hard? Can I safely put this off and just drive it for a while? Is it mainly the track that I need to worry about?

Can I safely put this off and just drive it for a while? Is it mainly the track that I need to worry about? Don't take the top off and make sure the floor pans behind both seats aren't complete swiss cheese. Use a screwdriver since the floor tar will hide rust very well, even terminal rust in the pans. Also make sure your passenger side rear suspension ear and console haven't cracked, they like to rust from the inside out. If all that checks out OK, i think you'll be fine driving it until spring.
