Guys..
the aluminum roof is the way that I have been steering my ship and it seems you all agree.
The skin is 063 aluminum and is being hand formed....once we have proven that we can repeat the fit and finish we demand we will be able to offer the option.
We will be welding the roof section to the chassis for improved strength...originality is not really the issue as the original cars are steel as we all know.

I see no reason the roof could not be retro fitted but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

Pricing is still being determined but I expect it will run in the $2500-3000 range...

Hope this answers a few of your questions..
