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 |

until you can provide pics of the areas I provided pics of above, I would say you should not be driving that car.
pull the interior firewall pad out, carpets too. seats have a little tang that you have to push on to get seats out all the way. remove the valences under doors, so we can see the rear sections of the longs. a pic of the area under the battery will tell a lot. the rusted triangle piece in your pic above is not structural, like the long is. your battery area pic shows the area about 12" rearward from the area you need to be really investigating. imagine your car dropping to the ground at 60mph, would not be safe. jim |
