Bought this care stupidly needed an entire roof due to vinyl top. Body guy who's semi retired ?? 60 mi N of here sent some progress photos. Roof came off the really well gutted 'n rusted 69 I bought. Not much left of it

I can't see much detail in the photos but it look like he is doing a pretty good job, it looks great.
 
Looking good. A friend of mine found an NOS roof for his 77 or 78 Trans Am he’s had since high school. Had a couple body guy friends replace it but said he couldn’t bear to watch them cut the roof off his baby!!! LOL
 
It is fairly straight has a "used car" paint job, had the lower quarters replaced. Rust issues caused by roof and possibly lower quarters. Rust limited to "all of the roof" and trunk floor. Roof was vinyl, the root of ALL evil!!! Floor pan is surprisingly rust free. Has a slant, I got it going "around the block," needs (drum) brake work and I don't know about AC/ engine/ trans, although it may be drivable as is in that regard.

Interior is pretty good. Someone started to swap in a radio and that seems to have "fail."

I thought I did OK, then though I paid too much!!!! but with prices of available cars going up I'm back in the "did OK" thing

My plans are various. Leave it stock, add a turbo, put a low deck in there. Or sell it. At my age anything can happen, including "nothing"

some photos when I bought it
