Rear frame options

I need new frame rails and I don't know what I should do. I dont know whether to tackle this myself (without garage), take it to a shop, or weld in a whole back half kit myself. The thing is I want to rebuild my 10 bolt while its apart and if I get someone else to do it I will still have to drop the rear again. What do you think?

Why did you cut them? Do you think this could be accomplished in a driveway?

I just saw some pictures of your nova on another post. I was considering buying it off e-bay until i saw the frame rails, and the bidding wen that high. Found a better deal anyways.
