Tree vs roof
« on: December 01, 2006 - 01:57:55 PM »
OK looking at a 72 Challenger that recently had a tree limb fall on the roof.  It hit right on the rear....crease...the ridge above the rear glass.

If I remove the vinal top how likely am I to get that fixed with no visual problem?

worth the trouble or replacing the roof or a section...

anyone have sim problems?

hey there  being a bodyman I would definitley try and fix it first vs replaceing the skin (availibiltity) though depending how bad the damage is without pics would be hard to tell ya remember a good bodyman is pricey but a bad body man is very expensive  :cheers: just remember patience is the key and you will have great results

Pretty easy fix for any decent bodyman.

I would like to have the car in my yard by the end of the year...just have to wait and see.

Looks like I might need a driver quarter too.

I am sure (from what I see and what he said) the pass quarter, drivers floor, possibly part/all of the trunk pan, and the hood is rough to say the least.
