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

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

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

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.
