As stated previously in this thread "you do NOT need to replace the backbone tube when removing the two outer tubs" The back bone is made out of some pretty hard steel, and is plenty strong. Also it would take a lot of experience working with metal, and fabricating to cut out the backbone, and replace it; keeping everything straight, and strong. As for what type of welding process to use. I used to build frames (also high pressure boiler systems) with oxy/accy welding. Then there is "stick welding" which is more then strong enough, but requires some skill. Mig welding has pretty much become the standard today. Just about anybody can Mig weld. However the internet Gurus will always scream, and holler that it must be Tig welded. Although Tig is probably the best process for welding, it requires a lot of skill. So I would recommend you use what you got.
