So I am faced with the possibility of having to put a new roof skin on my 68 Hertz G project car. I am no slouch at metal work, but it would be nice to see pics of it being done before or at least hear about some tips and tricks that people used.
I think the hardest part will be to create the hem at the rear including the rounded corners.
I saw the video, it’s just on roof skin replacement. The issue here is my car is a sunroof car and the cutout for it is complex, especially at the rear of the opening as it is hemmed with radiuses in the corner.
Not sure if you are looking to remove the sunroof assembly and re-insert it into another skin, but I was able to find a complete original roof with a factory sunroof in it and was able to replace mine as a unit. It was not very hard. Just the time to drill out the spot welds. Hopefully these pics show up.
Ideally I would like to do what you did. In the event I can’t get a sunroof clip, I will need to buy a repo roof skin and cut it and shape it to fit my sunroof.
I was successful in replacing my roof skin with a repo and forming the sunroof opening…correctly…
More to come on my project page once all the welding and grinding is done.
