Hey! Been a while, was on vacation. While the coach is just sitting around, waiting for funds to rebuild the carb, I was toying with ideas on how to fix the cancer it has on the roof.
It's actually pretty rust-free, except for the major issue, basically rusted through, on the roof. Shitty part is that it's right where the windshield meets the roof.
That being the location, I'm almost positive that welding in a patch would be impossible. Not to mention that would probably just be putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.
What I came up with, though, might work:
What if I got a donor fleetwood and cut off the roof, from where the pillars meet the fenders, to right behind the front doors, and weld that part in? My only issue would be structural integrity. I'm sure that coaches have reinforced frames, but would that be just too much?
As always, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
