You would be suprised how many good welders you can fined who have their own trucks and will come to you. I know a couple of friends who did chop top mercs they prefabbed everything and a welder came to them. I am in the process of doing the floor and rocker boxes without the benefit of a garage. The way I am doing is. I do have the proper tools and some welding skills. My time is limited each time I work. So I have a flanger which is and air tool that makes a 1/2 inch flange on metal. I am cutting out the metal and flanging it. I am screwing the pieces in place with just enough selftapping screws to hold it. Its like a jigsaw puzzle. I will get it all together then In one day either get a welder to come or do it myself. Using the flange lines as where the metal will meet. Disassemble cut the flange lines and weld it back. I have done a few trucks this way because of time and it allowed me to adjust my fits and work with them. I am not skilled enough to measure once and cut once. You can do it
