Go to a hitch shop.
Seriously.
Everybody and their cousin can "weld". I have a MIG welder. I can stick and MIG weld, and I wouldn't undertake that -- I don't do it enough and most hobby welders don't either.
Problem is, you or your "buddy" fracks it up and you've messed up your car by undercutting the metal or get bad penetration and you've got a car letting go as you tow it. You're not welding on a piece of exhaust, your welding needs to take the stress of pushing or pulling (starting and braking) a 3500 pound car.
Don't take the chance, take it to a pro.
