Welding!
MillionDollar Belt Sander:
Yeah you posted it before, what a cool gift it will be.
Have a professional do it -- your spawn-unit deserves no less. You do not want her falling out of the car because the floor came off. Thin sheet-metal is tricky to weld especially for beginners. Anything load-bearing or safety-related have an expert do. :)
As for the engine -- You can rebuild that yourself. There are TONS of how-to, tutorials, and guides out there for all skill-levels. Parts are easy to locate too!

1967, sat in a shed since 1984. Given to my daughter for her 18th birthday by the person who found it, and hadn't had time to restore it.
It's a bit of a rustbucket...
But the engine turns (with a wrench), so there's hope!
So, any advice on the type of welder I need to get to put this little beauty back on the road?
Or to at least give it a floor...

I'm going to be learning some basic welding this year, but it's not very common in gunsmithing as a field. (Over all). I would however like to get fully certified once I have the time, just another tool for the box. My sorta girlfriend's a skilled welder though. I keep trying to get her to do metal art, but she gets shy.
