Need some help
 

Just wondering what you guys think the best way to fix this rusted area?
It's a 1952 GMC 3 window. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks

I'd try to buy a section of roof with the piece you need from someone with extra cabs. Surely someone has a extra cab for patch panels.

its not as bad as it looks bud, cut the bad parts out one at a time an stay off the radiuses an put another piece of metal in there an weld it up, looks like u would have 3 sections to fix

Check out my build thread, I did a similar repair to mine but it was on the bottom of the windshield. I bought a Harbor Freight stretcher/shrinker combo and used that to make the pieces. It's really not too bad, just do it in several pieces so you don't get overwhelmed.

either method will work equally well. finding a section of roof that could be trimmed to fit and doing the cut and replace thing would be the simpler way. forming your own pieces may be a lot more satisfying in the long run but will take a lot more time and effort to get right.
