capitalizing is like loud talking, and its kind of annoying. Now you go to capitalizing the first letter in each word, there has been only one other guy that did that either here or pro touring and he scammed a few people so they ran him out, hopefully your not the same guy. ip address check time??

sorry i did not know it made a differance. i am not a good typer so i leave the cap locks on. it make's it easier for me. i will try to remember not to do it. i am not a scamer. i am a dye hard car nut who has been building cars for over 35 year's and professionaly for over 25. again i am sorry if i have offened or upset anybody on this site. later larry

The roof has a lot of waves in it and my statement to them was to make absolutely certain it doesn't have a flaw in it when I get it back. This was the only bad spot on the car when we restored it 15 years ago and it makes me sick everytime I look at it. Most people have never noticed it, but I know it's there.

I had the same issue with my roof.Probably could have been work out(heat shrinked,skinned etc) but I decided to go ahead and replace it.BOY was I glad I did.When I remove the old one I found rust,on the back side on the front edge @ window trim,that was almost rusting through.
That would have bit me hard down the road after $$$ paint :question:

Seems like no matter what you are going to do, you are going to have to block either one. Waves could end up in the new replacement.

id try hammer and dolly it out some sheet metal came stamped with waves in it.the firewall and core support on my mustang was like that but fixed now.
