I saw a tv show with a sunroof e-body. I can't remember which one, maybe Graveyard Cars? The vinyl roof seams were the 70 style close to the sides so they didn't overlap on top of the slider. Just wondering why you seamed it on top? Were Gator grains only available in the narrow pattern?

Correct the gator grain seams at the top and narrow seams.

From what I'm told it was Graveyard cars. Apparently they made a big deal about getting it to work also. I didn't see the show.

:iagree: Yep, even on an SE with a formal roof, Gator Grain is still narrow seams, it is the only way it cam regardless if you had anything from a Barracuda, or a base Challenger or an SE look like Daves has :2thumbs:
