Hey Guys, long time no talk. I really missed this place among some members here as well. Anyways, spring break starts thursday and i want to replace the crushed in portion of my roof. My question is are there any tips you have when i do this. My plan is to cut, on the passenger side, the A and B pillar and about two feet into the roof section. I have a complete roof i cut off another explorer right next to the mounty. Heres some pictures of the damage.

I did it on a rolled over car
... Have to have the windshield removed, and will have to have the A pillar jacked back into place before cutting the old roof off. How much of the pillars did you get with the replacement? That will determine where you will make the cuts. Measure twice, cut once!!! Is the passenger front door hinge post bent as well?

if your going to replace just a section, go very, very slow on the welding. flat panels LOVE to warp, and make life miserable!
