Redfire, Thanks for the link!
I wonder if that is that is the same panel I found at The Paddock? I didn't even know about Ecklers before this, and will be checking them out for other parts as I have a used roof skin now.
BTW, Ecklers price is the same as Paddock, but was 100.00 less for shipping to CA. Go figure!

Thought I would post up some progress on my roof skin replacement. This has been quite a lot if work and has required about 20 hours to get the old skins off my car and the donor roof. I bought a spot weld cutter from Eastwood and that made things a lot easier.
I figure that there were about 200 spot welds cut out from both panels. Whew!! Now I know why the body shop wanted so much to do it!
I got the new skin sitting on the car to test fit and it is good. The most nerve racking part was cutting the skin at the A-pillars at the right place as there is no real straight edge to measure from. So, I cut a little long and trimmed to fit. So far, so good.

I didn’t close up the wrapped (like a door skin) section at the drip rail and A-pillar yet as I am removing it again for rust treatment of the roof panel, and a coat of rust encapsulater. I’m hoping this will close up a small gap (about 1/16” or less) on the driver’s side A-pillar seam.
Here are a couple of pics:



Driver's side:Should I add some metal tabs to close this gap?

Pass. side




What do you all recommend, POR-15 or DP90, or other?
Spot weld like factory, or seam weld window channels? What about the sail panel section?

Any advice or tips are appreciated,
Mark
