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:

Kevin .... posted info on NARP ....

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.

if you do all the prep work and all areas are easily accessible and all the replacement parts are there, i'd say two hours should do it ...

PS: that is for the welding only, not subsequent bodywork, like bondo etc ...

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.
