I have not personally welded a rear. I have run solid rears. You turn by spinning the inside tire. So you've got to romp it, every time you turn.
If you're talking a track car, that's just fine. A solid rear works just fine. If you're talking a street car, it'll drive you nuts, and little johny-law will be following you around town writing you tickets at every turn.
Two alternatives to think about. Spools and lockers. Both are fairly cheap.
A spool is a locked rear. It works just like welding the rear, just no welding is involved. They also don't break, which welded rears are notorious for doing. They are cheap and pretty easy to install.
A locker, aka a lunchbox locker, is a drop in modification. They cost anywhere from $150-400 depending on new or used, and who's name you buy. I ran a lock-rite for some time. Others swear by ausy. Detroit is nifty but real expensive. They are quite streetable, though they definately have a personality. Turns are frequently noisy and lurchy, but much more doable than with a locked rear.
