Just interjecting here... But, I'm pretty certain the urethan blobs are meant for cushioning between the inner and outer roof skins--It'll keep them from "oil canning" and will also provide a very light bit of support for both panels from the top and bottom. I assume it would provide some silencing quality from rain if the truck were ever in a downpour??? (kinda stretching here..)

Thanks man, glad I could be of some assistance.

One question for you Alan, What are the dabs of urethane for between the skins? Could you use Panel Adhesive to bond the roof skin on instead of welding it?

Sorry to hear about your wifes uncle.

I thought about using panel bond around the perimeter of the roof. The reason that I didn't is because of some unevenness that I will have to take care of when welding the skin on. I use urethane like hemifalcon mentioned below as sound control. The factory seems to have attempted that, I just wanted to improve on it. Panel bond probably could be used, but it gets rock hard and I feel it might cause problems. I could be completely wrong, but don't want to risk it.

Last Saturday while up at Alan's I picked up my cluster bezel that I got from Billy. I have been trying to decide which looks better with my cluster. The wife and kids like the powder coated one but I make up my mind between the two.

flips72 · 03-01-2013, 08:50 PM

the powder coated one is my favorite also, but i'm kinda like a old crow... just love shiney things

Thanks Red. The interior will be fawn and as close to original. If I can ever get back to Dallas I need to come check out all your rides.

Alan's Classic · 03-01-2013, 11:34 PM

In person I chose the black one. In pics I choose the powder coated one.

likaroc13 · 03-01-2013, 11:55 PM

Tough call. I kinda like the contrast of the black one. Seems like the other combo has almost too much shine. Wonder what it would look like with those milled lines painted black on the cluster, if using the powdercoated bezel?

Alan's Classic · 03-08-2013, 12:47 AM

Roof is welded and ground. Need to grind the underside of the channel where I have some burn thru nuggets.

Bomp · 03-08-2013, 12:53 AM

Roof looks nice.
I'm dreading when I stick mine back on.
Seeing how you did yours gives me peace of mind.
Thanks.

Dinos63 · 03-08-2013, 12:57 AM

whoa!! nice work

flips72 · 03-08-2013, 10:39 AM

very nice.

Ta2Don · 03-08-2013, 10:50 AM

Very nice work Alan! Diggin the black bezel, but the black accents on the powder coated one has me intrigued...

Thanks guys!! Still plugging away at it.

Roof welded and ground and smooth on both sides. Started wiping the roof today.

65Custom · 03-15-2013, 02:14 PM

Nice work Alan! Greg's baby is in good hands.

I liked the idea of the silicone blobs under the roof to support the panel.

flips72 · 03-18-2013, 05:31 PM

looks good alan, any updates?

greg65 · 03-20-2013, 09:12 PM

A little progress for the week. I bead blasted the floor vents and removed the old seals tonight. They are ready to be dropped off at the powder coaters hopefully next week along with a few more parts. Then I can install the new gaskets and reassemble the vent assemblies. Next in line is the vent windows.

likaroc13 · 03-25-2013, 07:34 PM

sorry we couldn't help with the bedside! if you haven't found anything beforehand, I'll let you know if I see or hear of something

greg65 · 03-25-2013, 08:33 PM

No problem Phillip. I found a complete truck back home in Alabama just waiting for the owner to call me back. My fingers are crossed.

Greg, Saw this 60 Vette at Caffeine and Octane this morning with your fawn beige on it, seat color choice really made it come together . It was the prettiest 60's car and color there. Gonna look very nice on your truck.
There's 3 pics here but they don't really do the color justice.
