Fitup looks good! A tip- open a beer. Turn good tunes on. Aim gun at one end. Tack. Sip. Aim at middle. Tack. Sip. Aim at end. Tack. Sip. Continue until done. Seriously, on the roof, go REALLY slow. You'll be fine, just don't throw a lot of heat at it in a hurry. Props on even attempting the repair. If you haven't welded it yet, consider tying a coathanger around a sock, dipping it in POR or the sauce of your choice, and rodding it down the inside of the seam, to kinda seal it up as best you can. Best of luck, it'll be cool. If the advice bugs you, don't be afraid to tell me to pound sand. Are you going to Brad's?
