Re: the roof seam, good timing, been wanting to ask a question pertaining to this because I had the same idea:

So, they completely did away with lead and built a metal patch, fully welded it, ground smooth, skim of body filler, finish and paint?

Flex and lead is not an issue? Hopefully not, I'm not looking forward to fussing with it on my car.

stud welded in place for trim clips !! I did not want the holes drilled in as it would be a source of water entry . was very happy when vic informed me that he was welding on the studs !!!

IF this doesn't get your fire started , your wood is wet !! This car was stolen and robbed of a lot of parts... I have put them back nos and factory orig's. I am very thankful to the people who are doing the work on this car as they know what it means to me to have it back as close as we could get it.. I have used the orig. window sticker and some photos from the actual first day of ownership to restore this car...hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do....
