Cracked drive side dropout

I have taken my bike to many different locations and they all seem to give me different answers. My bike is an 87 Bridgestone 550. I really enjoy the bike because its a beautiful and rare freak of nature. I'm 6'4'' and super lanky making the 63 cm frame perfect. Long story short I bent the rear drive side dropout closed, and not thinking I grabbed the closest wrench next to me and I instantly pulled the piece back out cold. The piece now has a small crack next to the tension screw. My question is what would be the safest most cost efficient solution to my problem? The bike is my favorite commuter and I would like to not to have to scrap the old girl. Thanks for reading my post.
