Pics as promised. Roof finally finished.

[clausoe]

I had a thread going on the old board while I did some major surgery on the roof and quarters on my 68. Well I promised some pics when the work was done and here they are..

First pics are a little reminder of what it looked like a few months ago.

Great to be driving again and thanks again to everyone who gave me great advice.

Damn that was one big hole in your roof... Did you use a "english" wheel to shape the new roof piece?

Ps. Your ride looks awsome..

[tomonty]

WOW! She turned out great! Awesome looking ride

[Telvis]

The abilities of some of you folks here on this site are just short of amazing. You made that look easy. Your car is beautiful.

[BigBlockSam]

Thanks, no I didn't have an english wheel and thats just one reason it took such a long time. I probably used a couple of weeks just working the shape into that piece before I even cut the hole. I can't begin to describe how great it feels to know the roof is all steel and rust free, here is before I put the vinyl on.

great job you're an AWESOME-O

[PlumBad70]

I remember seeing that on the old board...boy did it turn out awesome, great job!

[Telvis]

Was the vinyl difficult to install? I'm debating on doing my own.

[Mefirst]

If I find rust on my Chargers roof, well then Ill come over to Norway and you can redo it

WOW.I replaiced the whole roof skin on mine and you made it look easy to fix.Great Job!!!

[Silver R/T]

vinyl isnt hard to do if you take time and read a lot how to do it

[69pistolgripRT]

I kinda liked the custom sunroof you were working on!

Turned out great....

[Ghoste]

Seeing that gives me hope.  I have a factory vinyl top with a lot of cancer under it.

[Lostsheep]

Wow that looks awesome.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Turned out really nice!   Cheers!

Thumbs up for the great job !!! It looks perfect!

[clausoe]

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Telvis, I would say vinyl is a little hard to do but it is like Silver R/T says, you MUST take your time and read about it first. And if you know somebody who's done it before don't be afraid to ask for assistance.
This was a great help.    http://www.moparts.com/Tech/Archive/misc/4.html
I would say the most important thing is to get it centered properly, if you get that right and follow the instructions the seams will turn out nice and straight and you learn alot as you go.

Congrats on an awesome job.   I'm gonna need your skills when it comes time to tear off my vinyl roof.   Check out these bumps under the vinyl:







It's pretty much like that everywhere, but especially so in the tough places like along the sail panel ridge and the windshield  

[Silver R/T]

let me know if you wanna do some work on my charger

[Charger_Croatia]

That is great job! 
I have to make few patches around a car (not on the roof) and now I'm more confident to do that on my own.

Good work. The damage must be the work of a vinyl top, eh? That's why I don't like vinyl tops.

[MoparYoungGun]

Turned out great Clausoe, you did an excellent job !

Le toit paraît beau. Vous avez fait un travail remarquable. Vous donner une caresse sur le dos et aller la boisson un froid agréable l'un. Vous le méritez. Félicitations.
