sooo I need a new roof more then likely the metal that's not rusted is very weak and i have a 2ftx3ft area just above the windshield that is very rusted .... what are my options here? Does anyone make a replacement roof skin or do i need to find a donor car with a decent roof and try and patch repair what i can? please help  |

I'm not aware of a repro. of the roof for 3rd gen cars. Finding a rust free donor, either as a replacement or as a source for patch material, is your best bet. You might check with these guys... www.wildcatmopars.com/partscar.asp?id=65 |

Post pics lets see how bad?
Most B bodys will work (I think) 71-74
Sorry I am keeping my rust free spare for that very rusty 71 RT or that very special 72 Rally.
I have a very rusty one on my kids 73 Plymouth I welded and filled with metal filler Its not Text book perfect for restoration work but It gives the car life for another 20-30 years maybe then some one will make new roof skins?

Alright I found a Guy parting out a 74 se within an hour away I'm paying him $50 for the entire roof. .. and then I get to murder a charger by hacking it up.... once I see the car I'll take some pics and if anyone needs something I'll be happy to work out a deal to get it to you

Alright the car that I cut the roof off of was in awesome shape so if anyone needs any sheet metal let me know ASAP. Cause he was gonna have all the bolt on stuff gone by the end of next week and then he was gonna start plasma cutting up thereafter of the car
