Here's my work in progress (72 suburban)

I bought this beast in November of 06 to restore to the best of my ability. I am a total amateur when it comes to body restoration but I think I am on the right track. It is to be used as a tailgating vehicle and other recreation. The beast had some modifications before I purchased it. Still has the original 350, but brand new exhaust and transmission, the guy put in a fourth gear as a kind of overdrive to save gas. The body wasn't in good shape, alot of rust and rot, it was originally orange and white. It runs like a champ and is mechanically sound after minor repairs to the brake lines, new rotors and drums. I will need to replace the head gasket and radiator at some point. My concern is not the body or the mechanical issues. I was underneath it and I see that the frame is a bit rusty but no holes, but the underneath near where the doors are there are rotted (i guess it would be frame mounts?) I guess I should take some pics. I want to know how much of a pain in the @ss it is to fix, I do not have welding capabilities. I am probably going to have to have them repaired but want to know the cost.
