Welding help near Neenah

Would anyone with a welder relatively close to Neenah be interested in putting a couple welds on my 80? I've got a crack right in the middle of the tailgate from the PO doing who knows what, and a small leak in the exhaust near the cats that's easy to get to from the side of the truck.

I can prep all the surfaces and am more than happy to pay for your time with cash, beer/pizza, etc. The welds don't need to look good. I'll post some pics tonight.

Want some practice? I need to stop by there for some stickers one of these days too.

The first pic is the tailgate above and to the left of the license plate. This is causing the lower gate to bow out a little and the upper doesn't close all the way. My goal is to close the crack so the lower gate isn't bowed out and to keep the crack from growing.

This is all hidden by the upper gate when it's closed and my truck isn't exactly a beauty queen so I'm more concerned with how it functions than how it looks.



The second pic is in front of the cats near the o2. It's not a big hole and I'm hoping it can be closed up so I can get some more life out of this exhaust.



Interested?
