Uno spot.
I MIG welded mine last week one spot at a time. I would rather have made the panel in one piece and had 2 sides with stock welds.

Tacking with the TIG, minimal HAZ but will need absolute tight joints...

I did the whole weld in one pass...once. Kent is right on the money with his advice. The only thing I can add is to keep your hammer blows light. That panel will want to swell up like a balloon if you use shaping blows instead of planishing blows. A compound curved surface can swell up a bit without being noticed but not that near-dead-flat panel. Also, I've found that my slapping file is a terrific tool to gently raise low spots when doing these long-sided. Good luck from a fellow Busman!

I used TIG, and thanks!
Unfortunately sold a few years ago. I have another in the works.
