Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how many people are out there that don't even have the balls to start this project, let alone get to where you are in as short a time frame!!!

You're doing exactly what you need to do, it's nothing more than thousands of tack welds. Go slow, skip around a lot. Heat is your biggest enemy. Keep the grinder moving around too. It sucks to do a good job welding, then ruin the panel with the grinder... I won't be doing that again!

What's wrong with the roof?
