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
