My 73 Charger needs a new roof. Looking at the factory parts book, the A pillar ends about three quarters of the way up, and there is a Y shaped piece that is welded on and then the header assembly.
I have a donor roof and was wondering if anyone has separated the pillar at that 3/4 mark and worked the new panel in like factory? My front header panel is shot but the rear looks ok. I also have localized rust damage (skin + structure) above the b-pillar area on both sides. Ideally I’d like to keep the rear header assembly on the car together and install the rear of the donor roof as a skin while welding the front in on the factory A pillar seam. I don’t really like the idea of cutting and splicing the A pillar like I’m chopping a 32 Ford.
Thoughts? Thanks
