Re: Cab Roof Replacement
This thread was just to share our experience doing an uncommon job that really wasn't that difficult to do. The new panels weren't cheap, I think $500 for the roof skins and another $50 or so for the drip rails. The adhesive is about $45-50 a pack and I used more than one pack for the roof replacement. You need a special tool to use the adhesive that cost about another $50-60. I bought mine several years ago when I did the restoration on my 71. Mine is for the SEM version of adhesive but also works with the 3M stuff. But the 3M tool won't work on the SEM adhesive. They have different diameter tubes.
As I said, we didn't have prior experience doing this and maybe we made mistakes. If any pros want to comment, criticize or just share pro tips that would help everyone. If you need to do this and you have any experience with rust repair, you can handle it.
Oh, you will need a TON of vise grips. The kind for this type of work. You can see what I used in the pics. And we used every single one we could get our hands on. I filled a 5 gallon pail with vise grips.
