[QUOTE="Insayne, post: 1027486, member: 13678"] No guys. The roof does flex and is incorrectly lined up. You never chop the structural section of the roof. Cutting the center of the pillars makes them extremely weak. The proper roof replacement is to punch out the spot welds and replace the whole pillars individually and then replace the roof panel. The car was chopped and chopped hard. Itss been rolled at some point and that's pretty shity. If it was just me by myself a cage might not be a bad idea. The problem is my little girl is with me most of the time in the car and IMO that's not cool. Oh trust me keeping it shiny side up is the plan but since I've been digging around this car since I've owned it I've found that the whole drivers side rear quarter was caved in the front end is mangled and needs at least a rad support and header panel and who knows how much straightening. My car is total loss and his car this far is shaping up to be a legit. I got some pictures and the car isn't oxidized. The front and rear bumpers need refinishing but a cobra front and a quick refinish at my friends booth will fix all that. The sears are in amazing shape just don't match so I'm not really seeing much problem with what he considers problem areas. Yes I need to look into it more obviously. I have a head with 1-2 bad valves in it that I haven't addressed so that's another thing. The roof is the main issue as its completely unsafe. Even a side collision will buckle these welds. Now I'm a safe driver but Other people are dumb asses. [/QUOTE]
