Brian cut the drip rails off than drilled out the spot welds and removed the roof. Now he can repair the rust and epoxy prime the area that the factory left bare metal.

^^What Wayne said. Looks good Rusty.:thumbsup:

Any particular reason to adhere rather then weld? I'm guessing thatd be a lot of heat in a thin part? Looks good!

Brian was working on other things it was just easier for me to bond them. Since it was off the car I didn't want it to warp and than I sprayed two coats of epoxy.
