If only the bondo had been an extra half inch thicker it would have held forever!

That sure looks like a Chebby seat in that thing...... Maybe the roof was trying to run away.

The first two pics remind me of my Uncle Stephen standing in a breeze. Sorry unc...

Hey, the guy may not have a roof, but he does have that custom rearview mirror ...got the basics taken care of!

sdg0080, I believe that I would just find another cab rather than try to replace a roof. When you see something like this, ya gotta wonder what else is lurking beneath the paint and the carpet.

At least he had his hard hat to protect him from flying debris.

Tell me about it. He wanted to know how hard it would be to put a roof on? I laughed. He didnt think it was funny. But you are right. If the roof is that bad, how bout the floor,cab mounts, cab corners. You gys know.

That is his daily driver too. He says he is broke, cant afford anything else, But did you see the POS overpriced hummer in the driveway?
