new roof skin

[ponypastor]

New roof skin on my 1971 Mach 1, J Code. Next step is to sand it down completely and then prime it. Slow going.

It would be a lot less work if the pictures were only posted one time each

Nice Work! is that a Dynacorn roof skin?

Good point

Thanks to Don at Ohio Mustang, yes, the roof is a Dynacorn unit. Fits perfect!

Are you going to lead the seams? If you fill with polyester it will likely show after time. The seam on the sail part of the roof on original cars is really wavy. They didn't take much time at the factory. I tried some lead work but never really had anyone that could teach me. They make it look so easy on the videos made in the factory. I think the tinning part of the job is what is critical to get the lead to stick.

Yes, am going to lead all the seams and make it last. Trying to have it done right each step. After all, it is a J Code, 429 SCJ, with Detroit locker, 4.11's. Restoring cars is like restoring people: slow and costly but worth it.
