That got the tail light panel parallel to the other one. After much hammer and dolly work I got it close. A little more hammering(there is no room in there to swing a hammer), I'll TIG it up.

Nope. And I was really worried it would.
 
Looks like a great execution of a plan. Don't forget to post final pictures showing the welding.
