Was this the one on craigslist in florence?? Doesn't look to bad.. wish i still had old aircooled cases laying around I'd hook you up with one. You may be able to get away with having it patched and tig'd if it's in a spot where there is no internal bracing. Cool though!

Nice, Good save.. aircooled cars are awesome. Look up Brax in Divide MT and ask him about a case. He is very reasonable with his prices and has every air cooled part imaginable.

I guess Brax is going out of business and selling everything off. So get after him soon.
