So I am getting ready to cut my roof skin off and am going to put bracing in my door jams where the tape is in the pic. Do you all think that that is enough bracing? I will brace the drivers and passengers side. I am not removing the whole roof just the skin.
if you're only doing the skin i don't see why you'd need to use any bracing at all, the supports under the roof run all the way around the perimeter of the car so that should keep the car from flexing

I kinda thought the same thing but Someone thought that I should brace it. It will only be a couple tack welds. The car is currently on a rotisserie so i want to be sure. I did think about running one diagonal across the car as well.
Rusty. did you leave your gutters in place or remove them. I plan on removal of mine but I have only seen it done on one car at a car show so I will be making it up as I go.
We will be removing the drip rails. We have not worked on it in a couple of years he got married and bought a house and now has no money. I did it on a 67 Coupe and also doing it on my personal 68 Coupe.
did you just weld the seams together? I was also thinking about bending some sheet metal to the desired shape and welding it in place. Do you have any pics of the actual fabrication?
