Yes, tight fit, good tack up and proper sequence along with minimal sized welds would go a long way towards reducing warpage.

My plan of attack would be to use .023 or .030 Mig, make one, (and only one!) downhill weld in each location then move to the furthest location possible, and only make one downhill weld. Move again, and NOT be in any hurry! Then once completed and it cooled down, I’d go get a shop rag, bucket of water, and wheel the O/A set over and straighten the darn thing out.
Caution!

I would tack it at every corner prior to welding.
