Wire welding is not that hard to learn. Get a machine and practice.
On another note. Restoring old cars is EXPENSIVE. I grew up in a body shop . Have the tools and know how to do it.
It just cost too damn much. Especially a big project it sounds like you are looking to get into. You probably don’t want to pay for welding.

I think it would be for the joy of doing it, not to make money on it. Also, it would help if you enjoyed driving it. If so then I think it would be worthwhile. But selling it for a profit is not likely to happen.

This is 100% the truth. I am doing a frame off restoration in my dads 68 ford truck and everything is expensive. If the vehicle had lots of rust rot in difficult areas it makes it much harder for repair. Also welding the thin metal on body panels can be frustrating if you don’t have experience with such. I would suggest buying one that is complete or near complete and work on that one to bring it to the condition you want. Not trying to discourage you but you have to be “ all in” financially and mentally to see if thru completion.
