Hello-
Just joined the forum. Looks like a great place for information!
Last week I acquired a new Mopar project, a 71 Charger with a 440.
The Charger has very little rust, EXCEPT for on the roof! It came equipped with a Landau vinyl roof, and it feels like the metal underneath is totally rotted out.
I'd like to get the roof taken care of ASAP, as having a bad rust spot worries me and I'd like to put this in the past!
So, does anyone know of a decent body shop that can tackle this job near the Western Mass area? I can tow the Charger on a trailer to a shop, even if it is a couple hours away, I'd like to put it in good hands. New York State, New Hampshire, Vermont, wherever!
The roof is only rusted out underneath the vinyl, which ends mid-roof, before the C-Pillar.
Also, anyone have a roof (or a lead on a roof) for this car? Lastly, what other models can provide a donor roof skin? Any 71-74 B-body? Note that I only need the roof skin from about the C-pillar forward.
Thanks a lot!

Here are the only pics I have of it now. I pulled it up from Delaware with my B150 van. All Uhaul had available were tow dollies!
