Ok, so I recently purchased a 1963 S&S out of California. There was only one primary issue with the car and that was the roof. It had a vinyl top on it; however, the vinal leaked and you guys know the rest.
I've talked to a body guy out in the area and we've come up with a few solutions to the problem and I just wanted to run them by everyone to see what the opinions were since it's my first car and I am learning.
1. Find a donor car, replace the roof and prep for paint. Less labor but I have to buy a second car for the roof.
2. Find a donor care, replace the room and prep for a Line-X liner. Wouldn't be much less that actually doing option 1 so I think this one is kinda out.
3. Leave the roof as it is and pay dearly for a vinyl roof to possibly be ripped up in a hurricane and leak again making the issue I currently have worse.
Any ideas? I'm stuck. Keep in mind if I purchase the donor car I'd only be getting it for the roof because I live in an apartment so I don't have a splace to just keep it around for pilfer parts off of when I need so the car will be used for the roof and then disposed of again.
