the metal is probably thinner than a beer cans metal so there is no chance of welding. I was also thinking of trying something with some sort of epoxy. The window won't be an issue cause I am going to bob it in the section where the rear window is and that window will just slide foward and should be perfect. If not I will just take them both out and put in a piece of plexiglass or cut the one piece a little
oh ok cool... damn your shell sounds alot thinner than I remember my old alum. one being... good luck...
