Can anybody recommend a welder in the SoCal area, I'm in Long Beach. My project has stalled and I'm trying to get it back together. Don't want to spend the cash on welding equipment and learning myself, I've got other hobbies and bodywork/welding isn't one of them. Also, drivetrain is out of the car so if I can find someone that will come to my house to do the work, thats a big plus.
So...if anybody knows someone who needs the work I've got the following I need done. 1. weld in new engine decklid hinge points 2. close marker light holes 3. R&R battery tray and support 4. close hole in bottom of the hell hole 5. tack in pnuematic lift brackets in the rear trunk Kev :aah: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) |

Can I get some opinions on how much time each of these tasks should take an experienced welder to complete. I'm just trying to get a ball park figure so I can budget this work accordingly.

No more than two hours for the metal work / welding. And he should be able to get the surface good enough to not need much bondo at all on the marker light patches. |
