My Dad, brother and I recently purchased a 1975 Dodge Charger SE as a project car to have something to do together.

The car is in fantastic shape with 1 major issue. The landau roof.

We have not peeled the vinyl yet, as we want to have a plan in place before we do so, but I think we may need to replace the roof, or at least the section under the vinyl.

Does anyone know where I might get my hands on a replacement roof and how much of a hassle it is going to be?

 

I'm not sure but i don't think they make replacement parts for those cars, your best bet would be a mopar salvage yard or fabricate patches from sheetmetal.

 

Find you a parts car with a good roof. No one is making new sheet metal for those.

If places like Year One doesn;t have it, a GOOD resto shop should be able to fabricate one, but it probably won't be cheap or exactly OE appearing.

I would start by stripping and sanding with a good coat of primer ONLY then will you be able to see the rust and make a decision as to repairs.. Patch panels would be your best bet. IF you cut the roof out for replacement make sure to have supports so the body does not twist / deform
