RE: Welding Cost
If you have alot of stuff to weld, you either need to find someone you know to weld it and pay them for the materials, or go to Home Depot, buy a welder, and do it yourself. You'll have plenty of scrap metal you jsut chopped off to practice on. Now with that being, I've never welded before. I know someone that is going to do it for me...if he ever does. I'll give him a another week or two, then I'm going to go out and buy a welder. But I'm in the same boat as you, quater panel skins, battery tray, new panel behind rear window, and probably new cowling.

RE: Welding Cost
You can actually get a fairly decent welder for the amount you have on any one car for $105. It will plug into a standard household outlet. Campbell Haufeld has a stick (1/16 inch size) that welds 19ga to 1/8". Also, you can get a "wire welder" for about 150. E-bay has them delivered for about 60 but I do not know anything about them. Here are a couple links specifically. Whats the worst that can happen, burn a hole in it, like that aint what you're fixing anyway! Screw it up and get someone else and sell the welder back on e-bay. No loss. Good luck.
This e-bay listing is all but constant. There is a new one listed everyday. Some stay at 10, other climb to 60. Shipping is $40. I know nothing about this and have nothiong to do with this. It is simply a lead"

RE: Welding Cost
The first listing is the one I have, works great for the money. Have not used it yet to do any sheet metal welding yet. I got it to do some repairs on my lawn tractor which worked out great..
