More work has been done on the roof. Ive begun welding in the rear panel. Slow work due to clamping, drilling a hole and welding as I go. For joining the upper seam I had been using some blocks of hardwood wedged under it to close the seam. However it was very tedious to get it just right. My new plan is to pickup a pair of the long reach visegrips. Cut the working ends off and then weld in some extensions and weld the ends back on. That way I can pinch the metal together as I go.
