OREGON - "Amish Barn Raising" aka Group Welding Gathering???

Anyone interested?

I don't know how to weld.
It started with rust in the passenger floor pans, then parts of the upper seat platform, then the wheel house extensions. The tunnel and passenger side floor pans are good. I'm having it blasted Friday 9/22 and then I'll find out how bad it is. My "floor pan" guy does not have the time to do all this sheetmetal.

I was wondering if anyone in or near Salem would be interested in a (or series) of cutting and welding parties? I've got no welder or welding gear, but was thinking of picking up a n inexpensive one (gas mig). I'm trying to do this fast so I can get my roll cage in and a new soft top before rainy season really kicks in.

BUT I'M DOING A NICE REBUILDING, NOT A ROUGH TRAIL RIG TO BEAT UP. So i want the welds to be done well.

Anyone interested? Got dates or locations?

Or, just point me to a good bronco floor welding guy in the salem area who could get on it pretty fast.

See you soon! (?)

Check the pictures to see what I have and what I think will need to be done.

If I was closer I'd be in. 2100 miles is a bit far....

I've got the tools, but not the time...my EB has nice little windows through the floor as well that need to be swapped out at some point.

When I was a welder I had a saying..."you want it done fast or want it done right?"
