compensation: $35 per hour, paid cash end of day.
I’m restoring a 1964.5 Mustang convertible and need an experienced welder/fabricator with classic car sheetmetal experience. This is a valuable classic — the work must be structurally sound and cosmetically clean after grinding.

Work can be day or night, weekdays or weekends. I am an OK welder, but there are hundreds of hours of work here and I need the help.

I have a pretty darn good metal and welding shop setup. I have an ESAB Tri-process machine, and a Lincoln Pro-MIG 175 and all the wire sizes

Scope of Work:

Left inner frame rail has been replaced — now time to weld in the left floor pan. New torque box already in, but need to be smartly sealed up.

With structure restored, proceed to right frame rail and floorboards

Engine apron welding

Partial left quarter panel TIG welding

Rear closure panel repair

Some rear frame work

Requirements:

Experience welding classic/unibody sheetmetal (MIG and TIG)

High-quality butt welds (no visible lap joints under carpet or from underside)

Ability to grind and finish welds to near-invisible quality

Strong structural welding skills with an eye for detail and originality

Details:

Work is at my shop — I supply utilities, materials, and equipment if needed

Cash paid upon completion or in staged milestones

Independent contractor arrangement

📩 Please reply with your welding/fabrication experience, photos of past restoration work (before/after if possible), and availability.

Looking for Classic Car Welder – 1964 Mustang Project

Neighbors, I’m in the middle of restoring a 1964.5 Mustang convertible and I’m looking for a skilled welder/fabricator who has real experience with classic cars and sheetmetal.

This isn’t patchwork — it needs to be structural, clean, and show-quality. After grinding, the welds should be nearly invisible, both under the carpet and from underneath the car.

Work includes:

Installing left floor pan (rail already replaced)

Right frame rail and floorboards

Engine apron welding

Partial quarter panel TIG welding + rear closure panel

Some rear frame reinforcement

All work is at my shop with materials/utilities provided. Cash paid for independent contractor work.

If you or someone you know has classic car welding experience, please message me. Photos or references are a big plus!
