yup, weld an inch, cool, move to another spot, do the same. repeat. stop every few minutes and let the whole thing get back to room temp. when done I used a big body and dolly to hammer along the weld areas and a shrinking disc to get things back into shape. my biggest issue is the roof is egg shaped, not just humped up. it narrows at the front and rear. the inner roof perimeter panel makes it hard to get the edges because you can't get a dolly back there. may have to cut that part out when I get patience to move back to the roof project. right now I am trying to consolidate a few parts into some resembance of a truck and make it move under it's own power. the thing is heavy to roill with only one old fart pushing.
