Also, what color red is that?
The color is 2002 Corvette Torch Red.

WOW, the roof. I hate thinking about that Here is a little bit about what we had to do. I think that was one of the hardest parts, I had to learn about shrinking metal with heat and I had to buy a shrinking hammer and shrinking dolly.

The center of the top looks like it had a light at one point and it rusted underneath. We had to cut out a section of roof and replace it. Because we had to use flat steel the center of the roof is not a little flatter than it would have been factory but it is not noticeable.



Tacked in the new metal and it is ugly



Lots of hammering and shrinking to get rd of the oil can effect.



Now for some filler.
