I have a donor roof and will get an air flanging tool. Love the grid idea. Thanks for all the ideas everyone. Anyone else have any experience or tips before I get in over my head.... roof... over my head... get it.:sick: Sorry, I'm just glad to be getting help.

The alignment of a complete roof chop is way beyond me. I think I will try removing the "skin" off the donor car roof by drilling all the spot welds. If there are many hidden attachment points then your plan sounds good. P.S. low resolution digital cameras make cars look better in cyberspace than in reality.

I am about to replace my roof on the "green" 73 240Z because I can't stand another day with the sunroof. I am trying to find someone who has actually done this for advice. I have seen the whole top chopped off and another rewelded on. I already have a donor roof. It looks to me like I may be able to just drill out the spot welds, cut the outer skin at the pillars, and the roof skin would come off. Am I dreamin'? "Too much sun in California" Steve

Funny you should ask about that. That car has a new roof about to be added. Also a 280 vented hood (bonnet) and a BRE rear spoiler are on it now with paint soon to come. I autocrossed with that sunroof for several years with no signs of cracking any where. A rollbar is in the works. The Orange car has a rollcage because I put it up on two wheels at one event. -
The main roll cage was built by Rick of Rebello racing. He builds many ITS cages. I have added about 10 more tubes. This car will be an open track car with a V-8. The Green car I run in F-prepared. It is being stripped down in weight since I finally have a trailer to tow to events. (no more dodging the CHP.) It will be painted, not green, thank you very much. The "rotisserie" car progresses as the funds trickle in. Having a second car running keeps me sane during the long process. Steve -
