im in WAY over my head.
 

Good day guys, just visited the shop this morning and my body man announced me that the cancer has spread everywhere in my ragtop.
basically i need a new tub.
what would you do?
1- Replace everything part by part
2- Go the Dynacorn way ( do we still need to forecast a ton of $ to get it ready for paint? )

in your opinion, what would be the best route to take?
I want to drive the car this summer.

Yan :willy:

Some more details would be good, one thing I can tell you.... you won't be driving it this summer!:wow:

Floor pan, rear frame rails, trunk pan, 2 rear quarter panels, cowl dash and firewall, all that and see the pic from this summer.

I would not go the Dynacorn route. I would reuse your shell. If it is too much for him, try someone like Mike's Custom Cars. Reskinning entire cars is their business. There is also another guy doing it, but his name escapes me right now.

Mike

i guess nothing can't be save right?
he will give me a rough estimate on how much he thinks he can do it for, my guess 20k min
Am i realistic?

The core structure needs to be saved, it is not available aftermarket except in a new tub. Are you figuring $20K with paint?

probably before paint. i have no clue and no experience with this.
you guys know better than me.
yan
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Here are some Pics:

Mike excuse my lack of knowlege, but what do you mean by core structure?
Rocker panels?

Yan, look up Mikes Custom cars, he will make it better than new.
