Fleabag;

The roof seam on my Bumblebee and Carryall was really bad. I opened the crimp of the seam and cut the crip off down in the groove. Then I welded a piece of 3/16" rod in the seam. Keep the heat low and ajoing sheetmetalk cool so you dont warp it. The 3/16" rod gives the strength back and its is small enough to sit down in the groove. You can then fill over it with a good grade Body filler and sand smooth. IT worked well for me. If you klook at my Carryall album, about 1/2 way down you will see some pictures of this part of the job. Hollar if there is something I have not explained clearly. I had no problem understanding it ha ha.
