Hi Wayne, The rot on the roof is actually a big problem. Ron wants me to put a vinyl roof back on because of it. I really don't want a vinyl roof though. He said he can fill it with "all metal" but the problem is that it can't be patched from behind. There is no room to get in there. He said that roof is going to require several coats of primer & sanding in between coats to get it nice and smooth for paint. It's always a PITA to undo the vinyl roof process. Ron also said that he thinks this car did not spend its whole life in the south, because of the roof rot and how bad the left rear quarter was. I got it for $200 so I wasn't expecting a lot. It looked like it could (and should) be saved though. Another exterior piece that will need to be welded in is the sill under the rear window. I guess I am gonna replace those rear floor pans too. Then of course the big thing is that this really is the best time to take it off the frame... and I do already have the body bushings here...

Being your Elky was from the South., did it have the typical rust the cars from NY,NJ or PA ?? The picture ot the roof is why I ask. and also because my 65 Elky was from FLA. and it's rust was not typical of the cars from this area.
