I subscribe to an online edition of Welding Design and Fabrication.
The recent issue has an article about avoiding distortion when welding thin sheet metal.
i don't want to post the article here, so I've put the link below for any interested.

The sub is free BTW.

Good start on a great topic. I read all I can on the subject . Jalopy Jornal is on of my regular stops. A lot of the techniques are useful in bikebuildng.
