SHUT UP AND WHEEL
so it would discourage you from working on your own vehicle and bring it into the stealership.

Thunderbird will do just fine.
at least your torx bolts have only been in there for 8 years, try 23.
I read somewhere the reason companies use torx is that it reduces the time it takes for union assholes to apply the tooling to the fastener and increases production rates.

Nut extractors remove stripped torx bolts like a champ

I did the same on a 90 YJ, thats not where they hide them
fuse panel, seat belts, roll bar, dash, and fuel filler trim is where it seems to have started.

Can you weld mild steel to a D60 housing with regular 6011 or do ya have to use nickel rods?

I'm no weldologist, but what Hippie said is pretty accurate. Obviously the tubes you can weld whatever the hell you want as they are just mild steel.
You can physically weld just about any type of steel to the housing, weather it holds is a different story. If it is something critical I would do pre-heat, use high nickel rods, and pean (spelling) in between passes. There is lots of info you can read on this.
As much as I hate to say, someone like Cox probably knows the exact procedure and a lot more than I on the subject.
