I got the car back together tonight. I found a guy on the other side of town who did welding. It was a one man operation out of an old school shop that was really hidden on the boarder of town. The guy had a 66 nova II parked in his shop that was last inspected in 83, looks like it was in a front end accident and most of the front end was off. He said he's been working on it for years and eventually will finish it. He also had two 18-71 roots blowers sitting on a work bench, as well as a BBC and a 460BBF next to another BBF I didn't identify. Lathes, drill presses, jigs, welders, he had plenty of tools.
He welded my cover up but he said the blend of metal that this was cast out of had a lot of zinc in the aluminum, and he wasn't confident that the weld would hold long. So either way I am still hunting for a new rear cover (haven't had any success so far) but for now the car drives and thats all that matters.
Here are a couple of videos, the snow drifting was from the other day, and the in car shots are from tonight with the rear muffler deleted.

Surf or skate? Either way that boarder must be HUGE.
That said, from one M30 driver to another: prosit

for being the flagship of the 80's, this car is VERY nimble and controllable when you slide it around corners. Its smaller than my marauder so while its a "big" car, its not big to me. Plus, its the size of a modern 3 series now lol
