    Good point.
    I wasn't really on the same page... :)
    The light bulb would probably have gone on though.
    The donor car bent in half shortly after we removed the roof! :yup:

    :hmmm: if you are just doing the outer roof panel you wont need any braceing.You are not cutting the frame stucture out.On the doner car you wacked off the whole roof,not just the skin.As a professional bodyman the best advice I can give you is ,Either find some one who knows what there doing to help and guide you OR farm it out.If you are unsure on how to do it (or reluctant to)thats what I would do if I where you. I am not trying to be a downer ,Just trying to save you some greif. Good luck and keep us posted!!:bananaman
