Advice on Roof restoration 1967 Plymouth Fury III
This is an old story but one I'm now dealing with.
Took off the vinyl top from my 1967 Plymouth Fury III. Only to discover a bondo newspaper filled (around the back window) horror show. Had my auto body friend take out the rear window and we discovered that the previous owner did a cheap and quick newspaper job around it. Front of roof looks to be the same shape.
My auto body bud figures it was a quick bondo fix then new vinyl was thrown over it. Followed by a quick paint job of the car and a quick flip to yours truly.
Had no idea that it was that bad underneath. Lesson learned. There are more horror stories about the car that I won't get into here. It was an ebay purchase 3 years ago that was not what I thought it was going to be. (Long story) So basically I need a patch for around the rear window and front windshield.
Another option would be just to replace the roof. But not many furies locally in my neck of the woods (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the 1974 Plymouth Scamp in my PhotoBucket down in my sig.
This was done in Fiberglass Matt.... My story....If it works for the glass cars it will work good enough for me... I almost had to cut off the roof, but opted not too..
