Smile Roof is here!

Got the roof up on top of the car by myself what a PITA, basically pulled it up to the top by sliding it across the cowl (which is lined w/ wool blanket) and then ducking inside the car and kept inching it up to lay down w/o sliding off the car. Man this roof is heavy and there is no handles!

Overall the fit is good the roof looks a little wider and may have to trim (contour) some off the drip rails. Started to work on the front corners get it to lay flat on the bows and in the rails, it would fit into one side, but not both ..... needs work of course.

So I did some slicing and body hammer and it's closer, think I need to get the rails narrower so she lays into the drip rail channel without forcing it.

Anyways ... here are the pictures of the AMD roof skin straight outa the box.



Roof is on ... didn't drop it!

Drivers side corner ... too wide and wrong angle.

Passenger side is closer ... but needs so loving

Drip rail is close but too wide and will need to be trimmed!

Roof skin is real close in the back and the front will require most of my time and effort. Need to get this roof skin spot on before I tackle the quarters ... cuz then I have to lift the roof skin and put the quarters under the lip like the factory did in 67.

Thanks for looking ... more to come.
