Re: Spraying Wood Bed

I still have not decided what to do with the wood.

However, I went out there yesterday to start prepping the front half and noticed that one of the previous owners had put fiber glass on the front pans which was coming up. So I start pulling them off and found out why. I now get to deal with rusted floor pans. Paying someone to fix this is not in my budget, as I had hopes of getting some other stuff taken care of real soon. (front end rebuild, possible 383 build, vintage air install)

I have been wanting to learn how to weld, and have a buddy that has told me he will teach me how. What do you think, is this something I could tackle? I am handy with wood, but never worked with metal before. I am not restoring a show truck, so I am not concerned if it isn't a masterpiece of work. Of course I will watch as many youtube videos as possible, there are plenty. I always research before I tackle something new. I like to try and be a jack of all trades. Time is my biggest enemy.

What do you think? Is this the job of a professional, or a good learning spot for me.
