I guess I've been much luckier (or maybe it's the dry weather) but I've only
had one crack on my 87 and none on my 88.  On the crack I had, I had a shop
weld up the crack and then weld on a slab of metal over the crack, kinda like
a permanent band-aid to help assure that the same crack wouldn't continue
through the weld.  I think the shop charged maybe $10. and took about 10
minutes.
