Started welding in the new made front roof support yesterday and today. I had to clamp in a piece of metal and then plug weld it as the roof skin was in the way. But visually it will look the same. Since i dont have a spot welder I decided to use the original spot weld holes and just drill them out a bit. I simply clamped the front support tight against the sheet metal skin. Drill the hole to get clean metal on both the skin and the support below. It is a slow process but it does work.
