I need to get some tools, then do a good sanding if i decede to patch it, but i found a guy (i was going to buy parts from) that has a neighbor down the road from him, he is into metal work & has done just about anything you can amazin with cars, he says he is very reasonable, he will see what it will cost to replace the whole roof (i sent him pics) the guy thats helping me has plenty of dart with solid roofs & anything i need, if its going to be too much, i'll have to tackle it myself, of coarse that will be patching it.
 
It sure is a shame, that the good looking vinyl top makes a car rust out so badly. I've seen a lot of cars up here in rainy Western Washington, that have similar trouble.
 
Where in CA did you find this?

I found it in Dry storage here in Mo., its been in the family sence new, spent 71-99 in Ar., then Ca. from 99-02, then came to Mo., i stumbled on it when i was looking into another Mopar that was a total waiste.
