Ok, I got out there and cut the upper inner piece in half to widen it to fit the center window. I cut the center out of the other one I had to fill the gap. So now I have to spend the night and tomorrow thinking the next step. Do I cut the filler piece that exact same as the hole and butt weld it in there, or do I leave it as it is and just MIG weld it in? Or do I make a straight cut instead of the one I did going around the dome light mount like I did? That is what I need to figure out for tomorrow night.
