Find a wire feed (mig) welder. Find a Harbor Freight store. Buy a car magazine with a Harbor freight ad in it 20% coupon + grinder coupons) Buy a couple of 4& 1/2" grinders ($10-20), some wire wheels ($5), cutting wheels, safety glasses& a face shield , leather gloves, and a large .030 flux core ($50-7 pound) welding spool. Practice on out of site spots first. You will be a body man in no time

I have everything +75/25, -4.5 grinder. Tools aren't the problem, I have the tools. What I don't have, is the confidence to cut up or hit my car with a hammer. I would love to have the opportunity to be taught. I don't know if I can do self taught on my car though.
