    need to know what models i can use for a donor car for a roof.I took the vinyl off and parts of roof came with it in chunks of rust. Probably have to cut in the a struts of roof and cut along rear panel to hide with new vinyl or paint not sure which.Also would appreciate any leads on donor roof or hull.
    thanks
