Default Time to pin/weld

It's time, I am tempting fate. Time to get coolant line fixes done.

Who in Austin TX area has done this work? What shop did you use? Pin or weld?

I am thinking ATX Autosport or Moorespeed. Anyone have experiences to share?

I went to Moorespeed when I had a small issue during a track event at COTA.
Very nice people, and professional. They showed me around their shop and their collection of Ferraries, Porches and old Lambo's.
I spoke to them about welding fittings and they weld them right there in the shop.

It would be worth your trip to see them.

@gt3'er yeah I am read up on the matter. Depends on who is your welder, so I am reserving judgement till I discuss with the shop.
