I finally got some time to work on my 29 model A today... cut half the roof off found the left side channel to be a little rusted away about a 3-4 inch section is not attaced to the side of the car.. and the center metal support has been raised almost 1/2 and inch and they seemed to of cut relief cuts down the side of the roof at this point to raise it so I guess I will need to cut those welds out and lower the support to where it is suppose to be... I figure once I get the new donor roof on I can then fix the area on the drivers side... I now have plenty of sheet metal from the roof that was on there... It looked like a solid piece that was cut about 14 inches toward the middle alone the roof struts I guess to try get the contour correct , but it didnt work out right.... I will get pictures and update as I go alone I may have to put up pictures of the damaged area on the drivers side for advice...

thanks,
simon
