Not Ranked
OK everyone. I have the body and am doing some tugging and pulling to get things to line up (like the doors) I will NEVER buy a frame and body seperate again. I was warned, but now I am educated. But anyways, I am going to need to get the roll bar mounts welded in and possible a set of seat brackets. I have NO welding experience and no welder. I also do not have 220V in the garage. I have two options...
1) RentalMax rents 120V and larger gas powered welders for $30-50 per day. I could rent one and find someone to weld it.
2) I could hire a portable welding company to come out and do it for me. Problem here is that I have to weld two supports, then line up and drill another hole and have that support welded. Will they wait around? Do I have them weld the two supports and then come back and do the seat mounts and the third leg>
2a) Trailer it to a welding shop. This is probable the most expensive. Trailer rental is $75/day.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? If I hire it out, I would if possible like to find someone that has experience doing roll bars/cages. By brain holder may depend upon this some day.
I have toyed with renting or buying a welder and learning, but the roll bar is really not something I want to learn on. Even with the practice of the 8 seat support seams that I could burn as post practice runs, I still would not feel comfortable.
