Dodge Challenger Gets a New Roof Skin MUSCLE CARS & HOT RODS Episode 74

[KEITHNICKLOWICZ]

Yea bro I enjoy ur show ur work is awsome 2 thumbs up from one car guy to another

[KEITHNICKLOWICZ]

You are like my auto body super hero !! I found a roof for a good price for my skyroof nova ( doing away with the skyroof option) I'm wondering where are the spot welds along the drip rail? I'm trying to keep my spot/plug welds hidden in the window channel drip rail area

[jamesfreddys]

@KEITHNICKLOWICZ cool dud glad you found the show.

I am doing a 72 Chevelle roof skin which appears to be not quite 1/4" short. I haven't really tried yet but can you tell me a way to cope with that? thanks

[jamesfreddys]

@TheBusterheat Post picks of what your talking about on our Facebook page so I can see what you mean.

[bigchev9999]

what if you only have a little rust in the top conner of the windshield could you cut that out and replace it on a 74 barracuda do you have to make the patch panel or do they sell one

[jamesfreddys]

@bigchev9999 Haven't researched a patch panel for that repair. If it is how I imagine I don't believe it would be hard to make a patch panel. I recommend staying in the window channel if at all possible roof skin patches can be hell.

thanks for the video. very informative

[shotgunfetus]

Jeff do you spot weld over the doors too

[jamesfreddys]

yes, I used the spot welder on the entire roof skin with the exception of the sail panels and where there was three layers of sheet metal.

[igotnomods]

Good job Jeff. Now you just gotta help me find full quarters for my dart.....

[jamesfreddys]

what year again?

[igotnomods]

75 swinger.

[jamesfreddys]

swinger means its a 2 door, right?

[igotnomods]

Im not sure if that's what swinger means, but yes its a 2 door and its same square body style just like yours not the sport style.

[bigblockmustang]

Thanks for answering my question.. That "Moon Roof" option looked good. That was a keeper.. hehee!

Is there a rule of thumb of distance between spot welds.

As always, nice work James! Vid Rocks!

[jamesfreddys]

No Moon roof that doesn't work, haha. I put more spot welds in it that the factory I figure that will make it stronger.

[CoolasIce2]

Great info, Jeff.

[jamesfreddys]

thanks dude.

[vcval]

i love the spot welder looks like a factory finish wish list item XXXXXXXXX any how , just wanting to know do you use any products in the drip rail to seal it ? or is paint going to do that for you ?

[jamesfreddys]

we use a self- leveling urethane seam sealer just before paint to seal.

[theRealSycboi]

Yeah, that spot welder is a nice tool...

[jamesfreddys]

made the job real quick.

[theRealSycboi]

Here in N.E. Ohio that is a primo skin you cut off that car, lol...

[jamesfreddys]

That's a nice piece back in New York too, but I'm proud of that repair.
