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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the advice of keeping it off the track. I know you mentioned you had a blast last weekend, but please don't risk it. That's pretty bad.
Have you considered trying the repair yourself? Plenty of threads here to explain the process, you'll get better at welding as you go, and Restoration Design has just about every piece of metal you'll need. The quick and (easier) way of going about it is getting a shell from out west. Mikey914 just got rid of a fairly nice car not too long ago unfortunately, if I remember. Post a WTB ad here and have some of our west coast bretheren do some searching for you. Expect to spend 2-3k on the shell, depending on it's condition. Then another 500-1k shipping it to you. At least I think those numbers are what I've heard before. |
