BJ70 roof repair

[Fatbob]

So, this is my first post of work I've done to my truck and this is the first welding I've done. It's rough but it's done.

I knew I had some rust problems on my roof but a roof rack, a bbq, and the corner of an apartment building put this at the top of my repair list.

I got a roof from a 77 from EBI and started cutting. Got a little help from my buddy Mike.

Got a little better at welding. Got way better at grinding. Got some help from my Uncle Bob. Took a poker break.

Threw on some mud, tried to keep the shape that was in the corners, the gutters lined up pretty good, good enough for the girls I go with, a rattlecan finish, popped the window back in, got the headliner back up and I'm done.

I've had it out in the rain and it hasn't leaked yet. It did leak a little when I hit it with a pressure washer but I'll just stop doing that.
