Auto body repair & detailing: Roof top was rusted out under the Vinyl top., 1973 dodge challenger, dodge challenger


Question
I have a 1973 Dodge Challenger that i am finally getting around to restore. I removed the vinyl top, knowing that there would be rust there. There was and it is bad. Completely rusted through around the rear window and on top near the front window. Any ideas?

Answer
Jerald you have 2 options you can cut and replace the rust spots or you can find replacement panels. i belive year one has both the front and the rear window jambs and roof skins this will make a nicer and faster repair unless you have time to work and repair metal.
