Thank you. Everything is TIG welded and I try to weld as long and fast as possible. Naturally the metal moves and shrinks when heat is applied, but I correct it as I go with hammer and dolly, stretching the weld back out and making sure everything is as it should be before I continue with the next weld. Sometimes I’ll follow up with a planishing hammer if I really want to flatten the weld. I will most likely make the cab corners since they’re not available and what’s left of mine isn’t worth saving.
