Roof Repair

1tuff66 · 12-16-2003, 01:12 PM

Does anyone know where I can find sheet metal to repair the roof on a '66 fastback? The car was in a roll over, and now the roof is a little mangled near the front driverside. The roof was about 3 inches too short to put a windshield in. It would be greatly appreciated if you could direct me to a roof repair panel.
Thanks.

I think you would have to get a roof from a Mustang bone yard and then weld it in. Not an easy job. I would just look for another good unibody and transfer everything to it.

I agree , unless you wanna chop the roof a few inches because trying to replace it is tough, and trying to get the wind screen to fit and not leak is gonna be a bear!
