Need Help with Vinyl Roof Disease on '72 Scamp

Fred Scigliano said
that's all fun till you get down to all the work you have to do. ... BUT With all the rust that I see you better look at the frame, remember it is unabody that means not only that I spelled it wrong but the whole car is the frame including the roof so if you try and glue it and bondo it and seal it, then go and put an engine in there that makes good power. Please don't put your wife and kids in the car and try to go 100 mph or what ever. like I said no harm intended you do what you whant

You're right of course about the fun... It's all fun and games until you're under the car with sweat in your eyes cursing a rusted bolt. Moreover, I think you're right about the bondo. That's what I originally wanted to do but I no longer think that's a good idea, for the reason you mentioned. I have, however, completely stripped the interior, and it's clear that the only rusted part is the sheetmetal. The frame is still in great shape. And no harm taken! I definitely appreciate a difference of opinion! It helps in making a better decision.

I totally disagree. The OP said he was short those skills, and this is NOT a job for a novice. I am highly experienced at this type of rust repair, and I wouldn't want to touch it. All the help and suggestions in the world won't help if a person lacks the skills and tools to do a job.

I would be (foolishly) willing to jump into this project inexperienced...but It turns out I won't have to! I have a friend that has a lot of experience (and tools!) with this sort of thing who is willing to help out. Probably the only way I could get this done!
