Hello,
From my experience, I'd highly suggest getting under the car to inspect the frame and floor pans. Welding is VERY expensive! You would be doing yourself a favor to be patient and hunt for a solid car. Also, get one that needs little body work because you'll save a $#^!load of money. Good luck,
Ed B.
