I actually have the tools, and am a very competent welder. I just wanted some of the finer points. I've never done it, but actually want to. It's not really to save $, or anything else. It's what I need to do for me, and need to know details. Not taking anything personal, I just want to do it right the first time. It's either this or new stock rails. I choose this, I'm sick of stock.
