Stitch welding the roof insert in on the Vicky.

I've been stitch welding in between the tack welds on the roof insert. Its quite the process on a panel this big, but its coming together really nice.

Got the roof insert all tacked in place on the Vicky.

I finished up today tacking the roof insert in place. Its quite the process making sure that both panels are exactly level with each other for each tack weld. But once all the tack welds are done around 1/4" apart, then I know that I can weld in between the tack welds and that area will be lined up just right.

Got the roof insert trimmed, and started welding it in place on the Vicky.

I worked on getting the insert trimmed to fit the new opening on the Vicky. I left tabs for the cleco's on the insert, that way I could make sure it was exactly where I wanted it back in the car. Now its the long process of welding in between the cleco tabs.

Finished rolling the roof insert for the Vicky.

I finished rolling the roof insert today on the Vicky. With the panel made, I've trimmed out the inner brace panel on the car, and cleco'd the panel in place. Now I just finalize where I want the seam on the body, and trim the new panel to fit. Then the long process of welding in the panel completely.
