Today I sliced the roof skin off to see what was underneath. All I can say is WOW. Stupid vinyl top was murder on the roof. I can patch a lot of it, but I'll need some actual parts to splice in for the bad areas.

I had already counted on a new roof skin, drip rails and rear frame bow. It's the sides that I need to start working on. Once I get the dash out, I'm going to sandblast the whole body. I'll picture frame the quarters that will be getting replaced so I can blast behind them but not lose all the structural integrity until I'm ready to replace the panels.
