Default Melbourne area for SFC welding?

Anyone know a good place around Melbourne that can do a good job welding in some SFC's? Still debating on getting weld-in or bolt-on. I'd like weld-ins if i can find somewhere close and reasonably priced to get them welded.

Rick Crain in Melbourne does a great job welding. He did mine along with a bunch of others around here.

www.scmusclecars.com is the local web board.

I am still welcome at Bradenton at the moment.
Then it will be time to put a cage in the car if I choose to run it anymore.

I love how these tracks make you sign a Waiver for responsibility but yet dictate on what you need in your car to make a pass at the track. I am the one that will be killed or hurt from my own choices in life.
