Very few people can pick up a MIG torch and produce decent welds without some practice. MIG welding is easy once you know how but knowing how is the big stumbling block. Research on 't'internet to get basic procedure then practice, practice and practice some more. if you know anyone who can weld ask them for a couple of hours of their time to help you get started. I appreciate your point that you could buy a ready built chassis for not a lot more than the costs of DIY but at the end of the build you can say "I built that from scratch and learned a load of new skills in the process", but only if you do as much as you can yourself. This is where building a Haynes roadster differs from other "kit" car builds.
