Here's a photo of 4 cans.  The front 2 were cut at the top and glued together again - method 2. The back 2 didn't have the top crimp so they were cut and glued together again under the clamp and cardboard insulator - method 1.  Both look very original and the underside of the chassis also looks original, if that is important to you.
