no better time to learn new skills. It's really not hard to patch these trucks up. Sometimes it takes some imagination but I think one of the most important skills Is common sense. If you use your head and except that you'll make some mistakes as you go, you can learn the skills necessary to pull it off. For the cutting/welding part of the build, you might see if a local community college or trade school has a welding program with night classes. With a little practice and background knowledge a mig welder will practically run it's self.
