re: metalshaping and panel replacement '40 Willys roof

Hi Jeff,
Thanks, I think!!!!

I'm not sure what Dutch will be doing this year. I'm sure if we start working on him now, he'll be ready to do something by late spring, early summer.

I'm ready!!!!

He and Bennett are still finishing the pick-up. I haven't seen it lately, but it should be one heck of a ride!!

Randy

re: metalshaping and panel replacement '40 Willys roof

Hey Randy, nice job. I was just curious as to how you tackled welding the long seam along the roof skin. Was it welded from one edge to the other? or did you start in the middle and work your way out to the edges? or was it tacked in numerous places then stitch welded. I'm guessing you started on one end and worked your way across tuning with a hammer and dolly as you went. Just curious as to how you approached this. Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob,
I start by tacking at about 1" increments and fill in the blanks, from the center out.
