This is probably the best post I have seen on it:

Basically anything the MP&C writes should be read and reread (I took bodywork classes and still go back to reread MP&C posts).
Its a bit different because I am tig welding it. Get my fit up as perfect as I can (never rush this part as it causes much more work later). I start running my bead and watch in front of where I am welding. As I weld, the panel will start to move and eventually overlap (or move up/down too far to weld). Once it moves I stop welding and planish the bead I welded until the panel has moved back to where it was before I started the weld.
Make sure every strike is on dolly otherwise you are just moving the metal and ruining your fit up.
