Roof Patch
Well the time has come to cut and cut and cut everything away...
the rear half is straightforward, hopefully no surprises will come up. But, the previous owner cut a huge hole in the roof and had a sunroof in there. Which may have looked decent had he used a good sunroof and it didnt leak everywhere. But, the sunroof is out and im left with a huge hole. I was thinking of different ways to repair this and wanted some input or other options if you have any.
First thing i thought was butt weld in a new peice, but im scared that it might warp real bad with the heat on the roof.
Then i thought, maybe i can flange it and put a series of smaller welds in the flange, and if the flange warps it would be easier to skim over and make it straight.
OR flanging it, and useing a bonding epoxy of some kind, similer to the type that they use on the Viper.
any thoughts? suggestions? new ideas?
