Hi dovermac1,

The body can be repaired by welding. Cost would depend on how big an area and location. Without a visual, it is not possible to provide any costing and prices ranges region to region. The best is to get a quotation from local sources.

As to the leaking fuel tank, repair is not recommended. Replacement is required.
