I am also slightly concerned about that, but I took the interstate route back to Milledgeville on Sunday morning and nothing came flying off yet I don't believe it's gotten bad enough yet for the roof to completely rip off.
Most likely, I won't be starting the rust repair until I pass the CPA exam. Could be done with that by August, or longer, I don't know yet.

I have patch panels for the floor, rockers, cab corners, above the windshield, and entire roof panel. I have the inner and outer upper corners of the windshield from a donor cab and a donor section to replace the damage on the passenger side. I will probably need some other donor pieces as I dig into it, but I want to save the cab since the cab vin and partial frame vin are still matching.
