Roof skin
I have a 1950 5 window that had something fall on the roof and did some damage. I have pushed it back up but if I can't get it very straight I don't want a gallon of Bondo on it. Has anyone here installed an aftermarket roof skin? I would like to know if they are any good. Some aftermarket parts are not worth the time it takes to fix them. Thanks.

Re: Roof skin
Too many miles = 328 to be worth a road trip but I have a complete 5 window top that was cut off below the belt line with a skin that has surface rust but I don't think any dents that you could have for having someone stop and pick it up.
A guy in East Wenatchee gave it to me probably 15 years ago and I have kept it around ever since but I'll have to look at it to be sure. I am right on 97 South of Toppenish but could meet someone At Mely's Restaurant 2 miles up the road where there is plenty of room. It's just one of several AD body parts that are going up for grabs when I get the 48 together and do a bunch of downsizing.

Re: Roof skin
post up a few pics of the bad roof and maybe we can come up with some possible repair ideas. a roof replacement is not a small job, lots of spot welds. check the assembly manual for spot weld locations

Re: Roof skin
If it is like the roof on my BMW that a tree fell on there isn't much fixing it.
