The Roof on my 55 is in Need of some serious Help, I Did a Search here for Nomad Roof Repair & Got Nothing. What would be the Best way of Repairing this Area, Has me stumped due to the Rib's that would have to be Maintained..............
Here are a Few Pics of my Problem's, Thanks for any Help.
I remember seeing a complete roof for sale in eBay recently, and I think it was reasonably priced. These cars are rare, so a good replacement roof is going to be hard to find. If the roof is good, it's likely the rest of the car is decent.
I think it's going to be a challenge to fix that rust damage. A good metal man (MP&C ) could make pieces to fix it, I'm sure.

At one point or another, "NewMad" by SAR had some great shots of the roof repair they performed on that project. I looked, but they have condensed it, eliminating thos particular shots. You might contact them to see if they have it archived in completeness and might share it with you.
I have the same thing going on with my 56,I was able to find a large middle section from gutter to gutter I got this part at a swap meet, as for the rear top corners nothing yet and plan on making them it's a bit of work.Good Luck it'll all come together.
All I can say is wow, I thought mine was bad I guess I shouldn't complain. I have a buddy who had a Nomad roof from a 56 for sale but can't say weather or not he still has it. He was asking $1000 which isn't a bad price considering all the work you have ahead of you. If your interested PM me and I can put you in touch with him and let you guys work out the deal. Not a job for the faint hearted thats for sure but as my buddy says anything is fixable
