  A welder is something you will use all the time once you
own one. No joke.

  I would be hesitant, especially since there are a lot of
people out there charging money for work that I wouldn't
put in the category of "pro".

  With the benefit of this list, you at least know the pitfalls
and where you have to be very careful when doing the job. You
might hire somebody who is a whiz at welding but has never
worked on a B before, has never read a book such as Lindsay
Porter's book, and frankly will not do it right.

  As well, this is a very lengthy job when done right, I fear
a professional wouldn't have the time to do it properly if
he asked a fee that you'd consider paying.
