How to buy a classic long distance

Great question! I was just lamenting to the little woman that I somehow never learned to weld.

I was a nut buster through my 20s. VW, early Jag, lots of British Leyland, and Detroit steel. Real good with wiring. Mechanically, a 60's Dart would be old home week. I keep pretty much everything repaired I've ever owned from motorcycles to boats and airplanes.

I'm a lost sole when it comes to body work and upholstery though.
