Does anyone know where to get a patch panel for the roof for my 62 its the front part that sticks out on above the windshield.

My first choice would be another section of room from a donor '62.  I do not think you can buy this piece new anywhere.

I have another one but its in the same condition because this project has been going for 16 or 17 years. My dad gave it to me a year ago and im just now started to do some work on it. Heres a look with the roof off.



Heres a pic of the top of that part imlooking for


Alot of work ahead but its all rust issues not much body work.

Making a patch would be allot easier than looking for a patch panel in my opinion.
 Only other thing I could suggest is using a different area of the donor roof, same bend.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

I looked and looked and didnt find one so ill just weld them and grind them down. I started on the inner part filling in holes and grinding them down. After I get done im going to prep and por15 the two roof sections and put them back together and start on the rocker panels.
