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.

Lovely work Jordan! Thanks for sharing your experiences with the bead roller, clamping, welding and forming; excellent work.

Here is the tool I came up with to clamp the upper seam on the roof. Locking C-clamp pliers. I simply cut the working ends off and then welded in extensions. Now I can easily reach that seam. This was way cheaper then buying a set of the long ones needed.

And the clamps work really well. I can do about 4-5 welds before having to move them over to the next spot.
