If you don't risk it with my novice welding skills, the guy I would suggest is Wes who owns One Off Customs in Morgan Hill. He's a good dude. He'll most likely charge you for an hour of his time which will run you $100.

One Off Customs | Hot Rods, Customs, Classics
Wes prefers taking on big projects but he does entertain smaller jobs like this when he has the time. If you're in the California Bay Area and need some welding, custom fabrication or a big project like a complete vehicle restoration or custom build, give Wes a call. (408) 802-3299
I'm in Morgan Hill, and thanks to Tim's recommendation, I've now used Wes a couple times, for sliders and for the PCK; with great results. As noted, he has very reasonable rates. I also did quite a bit a prep work beforehand which made for less shop time too...

Tim - congrats on scoring the 210 MVP! Got that unit last year, used it once and I'm so anxious to improve. At this point, I want to get more scrap metal to experiment with and make the time to watch the many educational videos... I had welded a couple times in my 20's, and never really got good at it, but I'm convinced it's a very desirable skill to have for what I wish to do on the 4Runner, its trailer and other automotive and house projects.

Tim & Sean - Will watch your video next, thanks!

My work schedule varies from week to week but I can manage to open something two weeks in advance. My next days off are 12/30/12/31. I offer beers and a clean runner to work on. Let me know what else I can do to make this work out.
If you're not in a rush, let's try to plan something after the 1st of the year. I'm transitioning from one platoon to another at the beginning of this year with my firefighting job and my schedule is going to be not as open until after the first week of January.

I'm unavailable until the 2nd week of January so this works well for me. The 12th and the 13th are open. Maybe we can touch bases in the next week or two and see where our schedules direct us.

Until then, I'll be binge watching more youtube vids
