Before I had weld capability I used Tony Whitehead, "The Mig Welder".
I don't think he ever did anything online at all, was strictly shows/swaps/word of mouth.
If nobody else chimes in I'll dig for his number (he might be in an old business card book out somewhere in the shop)

That's pretty high price for welding the perches. Keep in mind , someone is coming to you to do the work. Usually that's at a premium. If everything is marked and mounting areas of the perches and on the axle tube are grinded down, with the assembly out from under the car so when the welding guy comes over, he has no prep work I would say about $50. If the welder guy needs to prep everything then it would way more than that. You didn't indicate if everything is prepped and ready for welding.

The area where the perches need to be welded on is free of paint, etc. The rearend is in the car so the perches need to be tacked and then I will drop the rearend out for the full weld. Got another quote from a guy who is only about a mile from me and he wants $200. Better but still seems high for the amount of welding that has to be done. Can't comment much but... Typically a $$ charge for a mobile service, can be divided into (2) parts. Part 1 is just his travel expense/time and part 2 is his labor and supplies for the task. Just my $0.02...
