Well Rred, he's not that far off the mark. I've been in the bodyshop business for 26 years and I can tell you it takes YEARS to weld proficiently and keep the structural integrity (especially if you want to make stuff like bumpers that might be involved in a crash)
Then there's the ability to weld up "some pieces of metal"...lol. I assure you it's much easier said than done to produce a quality piece, make it secure, attractive and functional.
I'm not knocking your desire to want to build any of these things but it's way harder than think.
I spent almost 4 hours cutting and welding my own muffler/tips setup on my mini cooper yesterday.... no wonder it took the guys that custom made the entire exhaust from the head back almost 9 hours to build it originally.
Good luck, just practice lots first...
