Need Help with Vinyl Roof Disease on '72 Scamp

That will last for a while, at least it is preventing more damage by keeping the water out.

That's exactly my idea. It'll last until I can make it better one way or another.

Too bad you aren't 4000 miles closer, i would help you save this car..............
If the roof is the only big problem rust wise, then the car is well worth saving.
Cudos to you for giving it your best shot!

It's good to know that there are people who'd help out with stuff like this!
Well, the floorpan clearly needs some attention too, now that the carpet's gone. And I'm scared about how the inside of the cowl might be. But that's all stuff I can't see... Anyway, I'm never looking to make this particular car more than a beater, although...

If my roof looked that bad I would (go through the trouble to) make a convertible out of it.

That's been everyone's thought. If I have to take the roof off anyway, why not? I'd actually love to do that, but it would definitely be an investment. Something for me to hope for the future!
