Honestly man that sounds like you're setting yourself up to fail. I would do my best to keep the pinch welds in tact if you can help it

I wouldn't go that route. It's super easy to find the pinch welds. I just marked each one with a sharpie so I didn't miss them when i started cutting and folding.

Icelands are way too big for most people.

Don't use JB weld, it'll never seal properly and as previously mentioned it's way too easy to avoid the pinch seams.
