back on topic, i was wondering archemedes, what kind of jig are you talking about when doing a roof panel?

archemedes

you have to support the body to keep it from flexing even 1mm can make the car not drive right, and panels not fit

VETTEpwrdZ28

yes but i was just wondering what you ment by a jig for the roof panel...


IF you wanna give it a shot, for the most part taking it off will be just as hard as putting it on, seeing how you dont wanna damage anything,....but if you do it,make sure the car is sitting on all 4 wheels...to avoid any body shifting,if it was on jackstands,or anything, when you let it down the roof will shift alot, so you wanna do the swap when the cars on the ground,so it wont shift.....thats if you dont have a jig...if not, you can make templates, and or tons of braces.......shouldnt be to hard, but yea, if you know a place that can do it right, mabey see how much they'll charge....not saying you cant handle it though....

archemedes

you make a cage basically weld steel to teh door frame and accross the front and rear, and a diagonal or 2
