They Said It Can't Be Done...Or Don't Even Try

It looks good...but I'm one of the guys who recommended he not go this far with this car. Here's why...and PLEASE, I don't mean to be a downer or piss on anybody's parade. I'll just pass this on to anybody who might be considering this sort of reconstruction.
These cars are spot welded together at the factory. The design of the panel and their support is predicated on that sort of welding. When you cut a car apart like this and weld it back together with anything but spots or TIG, the welded seams are much harder than the metal surrounding them. When changing a quarter, or a floor pan, it's not a big deal. But, the roof structure is an active part of this cars chassis. If you've ever cut the roof off a hardtop and tried to lift the car, you'd see just how much rigidity the roof adds. As this car rides over bumps, and goes through cornering and stopping motions, the soft original metal will want to move slightly as it was intended...the hard seams will not. It's just a short time before those areas become work hardened and begin to crack. In the event of a serious accident, the metal will tear like tissue paper along the seams. There's a lot to this!
I would say that adding a pair of GOOD frame connectors and a pair of Torque Boxes as would be found in a convertible would be a seriously good investment for this particular car.
Again, just my 2 cents. Not taking anything away from your efforts or accomplishment. Just wanting to make sure your investment stays looking good and is safe.
