I bought a 110 volt mig welder of e-bay for $400. Got some scrap and practiced for a few days then attacked the floor boards, cab corners, and rockers on my 67. It isn't near a hard as I expected it to be and when asked later on I will be able to say "I did it all myself". The key is to measure alot and to make templets out of poster board. Go with the gas setup and don't mess with the flux core wire. The flux core wire takes more time to clean up and you can't tell how good your welds are until you grind it down. Also, a friend who has been doing it for a while told me to use flap discs in the grinder to smooth out my welds instead of a grinding wheel. It puts less heat in the metal and does not remove to much metal. By doing it your self, you will have the tools when you are done and a mig welder comes in very handy when you are working on all kinds of stuff.
Just my thoughts, hope it helps.
