Gents,
My painter is concerned how much the roof of the '67 2000CS flexes. The early CS does not have the ribs found on the later cars (not sure if those actually provide support to the roof?) I'm looking for advice how best to add support to the roof. Instead of ribs/bows, the headliner on the early cars use a pressed, fiberboard panel that attaches to the ceiling with plastic clips at the back (like on a door card) and metal tabs on the front edges. I do have a small amount of room to add ribs between the fiberboard panel and metal roof. You can see how we have temporarily fitted some aluminum bar stock in this recess. I think I could shape some steel rod or small square tubing and tack weld it in this recess.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Ed
