Reflections The roof is one area I am glad he fixed, my repair was going to take a lot of work to clean up. |
A Little off the Top The evening started out finishing up the repair in the antenna mount area. I stepped out to get a nut to repair the shoulder belt mount, upon return the patch was done. While I worked to remove the plate for the shoulder belt mount he was moving onto the roofline where I had previously installed the replacement window section. In his cleaning it up he spotted some pin holes and questioned me about them, I indicated that there was 1-1/2" of metal underneath from the replacement section that was part of the roof from that car. After a little talk we chose to cut that same amount off the roof and but weld the roof to the section. Once he had it opened up I was glad we chose to do this. The shoulder belt was something that Dodge installed custom just for CHP and the nuts were pressed into a plate that was welded into the b-pillar. The plate needed to be removed so a new nut could be welded in. | ||
