Skybolt Confirmed!_Assessment on remaining welding

[Jwhallon]

After going over the near finished fuselage with the owner, I've decided to purchase it. I have the new plans on order and a empty hangar ready. I need to learn to tig weld but after reading through the prices on used weldingequipment I wonder if it would be cheaper to have the rest of the work done by a professional. For those unaware, here is a pic of the fuselage in its current condition.
