It is something I always wanted to learn. Way back, I did learn how to braze. I also had access to a electric spot welder at one time and made a few things using that.

But getting on in years, so this job is probably more than I would want to tackle. At $50/hr I think it would make better sense to use the restoration shop I found.

Had thought about doing a mechanical repair with HD S/S pop rivets (I do have a HD gun) along with a bit of epoxy/glass and POR. I could probably do a half decent job and extend life of car a few years. I will discuss this with the my welding guy.

But leaning toward trying to off-loading car as-is at a fair price considering it's condition. Maybe a young guy with more energy than I have could turn it back into a great car. Engine/transmissions etc are good.
