Quick update:

I pretty much have the rest of the car gutted except for the rearend, suspension/steering linkage,etc so she is just a roller....I have decided that the roof situation is best in the hands of a restoration shop....found a shop on craigslist in my area and had the owner stop by this am at the house...he looked at the roof situation and was "excited" to want to work on the grocerygetter.....He was really cool and honest about the work and came prepared with a list of ref's, pics of prior projects he did, and a business card...definetly won over my business and showed that he really "cared" about the restoration....so tomorrow am the wrecker is going to come and haul her off for the donor roof to be welded on
