Which pinchweld? I am guessing you are talking about the rain gutter?

If you are talking about the drip rail, that could be tricky. Read an artical about it in...Truckin? Anyway, you have to cut off a little at a time and weld it, cut and weld...If you cut it all off at once the seam will split and you will never get it back together, or at least normal looking. Just what I read, somone else may have another suggestion.

It looks good when it is done!
