Dan,

Bob's post is right on the money. You also don't mention if want the job finished off with matching paint or finished and left in primer, or just cut and welded and you plan to do the finish body work yourself. It will be helpful if you have all that figured out before you go shopping. This is not a place to scrimp, shop for quality not price. Ask your car nut buddies for references too. Doing it that way will return dividends in the long run.
