First question is, can you weld, preferable with Mig, otherwise either Gas [O/A] or Arc? If not I would suggest you first port of call is a local college to see if they do any evening courses in welding (failing that join the relevant club for the car and ask around for someone local who can show / teach you), there are books but like many things you need to do rather than read.

You'll find some useful info by browsing the restorations on my site

. I'll happily advise further if you letsus know a bit more about what you have in terms of tools and skills.
