Before I sent the black van off to the scrap yard, I cut all the rib ends off. Eventually I plan to drop a sunroof in the blue van and put a modern shark fin antenna on the roof. Having the rib ends will allow me to have a nice flat area to work with. Same idea as you are using but instead of hammering flat I'll be welding in ends.

Great idea and your work looks great!
