AMD roof skin
« on: April 10, 2008 - 12:40:12 PM »
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has picked up the new AMD roof skin yet. I am tempted...
My other roof is nearly done, but why settle for less than perfect...
Once my car was leveled, I clamped the roof on, making sure that the openings were as true as the car was level. This roof now has a clamp every 5" around the flanges.

Any comments on the new roof skin?
Does Roseville sell it yet?

Dave,

I believe we have met before,
I have been in a couple of times getting parts with my friend Gian, who owns the 3x TX9 71 RT.

I think I am leaning toward doing the new skin. Its a little pricey, but it will save me a Hell of a lot of finish time. I have tons of Rota-broach holes and fab areas to fix and fill. Yeah, I wanna say I am not looking forward to doing that x 200.
When I am ready, I will be borrowing a friends' spot welder to do the job.

Dave, any word on the Door skins?

I am not too far away from Roseville. What days do you work?

Hi Dan. I purchased a challenger roof skin a couple monthes ago from AMD. It fit okay, a little tight in the drip rail near the rear quarters. But overall, it went on really good. I had some of my pics posted in my Restoration thread, Long Term Project. Not sure if they are still there are not.

Dave,

Thanks for the info.
I am going to try to get my BIW in paint in September. IF I find that I can get a door skin then, fantastic.

I was reviewing some of the comments about the new roof skin. Seems like a winner. I would like to have a look at the flange. Mine seems a little shy, and I have  a vintage roof one that I had to tweak/straighten. Not too bad.
