dont think this section of roof is going to cover all the damage, so bought this baja basketcase for $20. has a nice roof

cant save 'em all boys, besides, like Ive said before, every car I cut makes ours more valuable. wish I could take on more of these cars as projects but I'm no Jay Leno. also, thanks to Dwayne for helpin' out, and thank you Jeff for the use of the trailer.

Hey Mano, do you think that I can borrow that dash that you just cut out of that car? Great score btw, and you guys didnt waste any time cutting that thing up.

O.K. so I've come to the conclusion that my roof is too far gone to fix, so, I'm selling my oval and gonna buy a Honda civic and start building imports. NOT! But , what started as a simple ragtop graft has turned into alot more work. :roll: So, when in doubt, cut it out!

as you can see (maybe), roof's pretty wavy.

Got it mostly tacked up today, will finish tomorrow. Not easy, roofs are tough, it will be worth it when the rags in and I'm cruisin' on a nice sunny day though.
