Am I seeing things or did someone install a sunroof in that thing.
That's a good way to get the price lowered by a couple grand.

electricalan...   Thanks for pointing that out because  I thought it was a sunroof also and I was about to throw up.

Whew!  Your right.

Don't know how many cars of all types I've seen ruined by that trendy 70's mod.

Don't understand why you would want one, had one car ( MK VIII ) with a sun roof, never got opened up in the three years I owned the car......the top has been down on the wife's Bird more then I can count.  Want fresh air....go topless!

I agree the classics with sunroofs are awful.Going topless is a good option if you have it.I do have a 67 Galaxie Convert.

Mine had one of those fits all van type sun roofs (that doesn't fit anything) in it.  The roof was so distorted and buckled that I skinned the roof.

That re-skin deal doesn't look like a fun job.

Anybody that cuts a hole in their roof needs their ass kicked.

AND, anybody that cuts a hole through a virgin door panel for a speaker needs a double asskickin'.

What kind of a brain does this?  After they're done they probably admire their work.  Then a month later they probably reflect back upon the damage they've done that can't easily be undone.

      Just think......Some dang idiot thought that he was making a big improvement on his car when he cut that top in order to install that big idiotic piece of junk.  He most likely never gave any thought about how much work he was making for someone later on.
      Back in the day we used to call those things a sky leak.   
      IMOP..... You are doing a great job on that car.  After all of that work you're putting into it, you must be looking forward to the day when you will  be taking it down the road.  Jay
