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.
