I received this textbook when I took my welding program, you can get the 6th version instead of the 7th, it's a lot cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/Welding-Principles-Applications-Larry-Jeffus/dp/1111039178
There's no substitute for a good school, most local community colleges or vocational schools have some cheap classes you can take, look into that. From the sound of it you may want to focus on stick welding, it's the best for field work like your describing
Just a lot of books... Here a re some of the ones I've bought over the past year:
Welding:Principles and Applications (this is a bit overkill but I found it at a used book store)
Advanced Custom Painting Techniques
Four Stroke Performance Tuning
Engine Builders Handbook This is more focused on V8s but has a lot of great advice/best practices.
Sheet Metal Fabrication I have only used the skills in this book to make my electronics box so far, I was originally going to make a cafe style seat but decided on room for a passenger. Someday I would like to make my own gas tank.
Other than that it's a lot of online research!
