You need two size hammers,one small one to smash your piggy bank.And then one extremely large one probably to smash your house !!.My advice is buy a mig and learn how to use it.Loads of time but a lot less expense and you know whats been done and whats not.It never fails to get hands on,good luck.
Btw this is far from a pisstake,this is my advice

As said get yourself a little 100amp mig some steel sheet and get practicing
Open up a photobucket account and
Upload your pictures to it then copy and paste your image url in your thread
(open one up in the restoration&rebuilds forum)
Good luck with it and welcome to passion ford

I know a guy that'll do a fantastic job. He's based in Bolton though. Best welding I've ever seen on a car. His number is 07734 306685
