I've been driving my Subaru conversion car around for around a month now, but one thing that absolutely must be done soon is to get my engine mount plates welded to the longitudinals. I'd like to get this done within the next week as the Riverside autocross is next weekend and I'd love to participate.

The job is pretty small, but its a little tricky. The plate that the engine bar mounts to is 1/4 inch thick and the longitudinal is at best half of that (double-ply in that area). As well, there is a gap between the flat plate and the slightly bend of the longitudinal. So I want someone who's really pretty decent at welding to do this.

Any reccomendations on shops in the LA area, particularly any that might be open evenings, etc.?

Thanks for the tips. The real problem is that I live in an apartment and I definitely don't want to mess around with the crummy 50 year old wiring in this place. I'm not even sure where the breakers are !

I went by a local welding shop today and it looks like Monday or Tuesday I'll be taking the car over at lunch time and getting the welding done. I've used this guy before to do the engine support bar and radiator frame, but he has a sign saying he won't weld under cars. So I asked today if he'll weld "above" cars and he didn't seem to have a problem with it.
