I have a question - hope you can help.
i  can see you seam welded this thing - how do you prevent it from warping?

Any time you weld or heat panels up they warp or move around some. Now to your question, If you grind weld down to same thickness as the material your welding and hammer lightly on seams of weld it will start stretching the welds that shrank from welding and stretch alittle and bump with dolly till low spots go where you tell them. I hope that helps a little.
