Re: Roof skin
Yuppers, "upload" one photo at a time until you get all you want to or get the five allowed on one post.
Even with my T Mobile WI fi rather than Century link it sometimes is too slow to upload more than one at a time and my other computer was too slow. It's a bit tedious but works. It's just internet and computer speed.

Re: Roof skin
I didn't take before pic, this is after the jacking. Still need to do more but most is out. Now comes the hard part, making it perfect.

Re: Roof skin
That's starting to look like something now.

Re: Roof skin
This is when I got the truck but it's hard to see the roof.

Re: Roof skin
It looks like you have it good enough for a 'patina' finish already!
I'd offer up a piece of glass on both sides of the window opening to ensure the pinch weld is all in a flat plane and the opening has not changed shape. |

Re: Roof skin
Looking at that roof I'd say you need a couple of hours with my Eastwood Contour and a good abrasive wheel.
