Thanks for the insight. I did wonder if it was a double compound curve which as you suggest will rule out most bodyshops with the necessary skills these days. I hope to have my 240 on the road for the spring in a solid but 'ratty' state. Long term plan will be a complete restoration but I things such as the roof will require thought, hence my initial question. Looking forward to seeing more photos of your restoration.The roof you see in the final picture is not the one in the metal, my friend wasn't happy and decided to cut it out again. The prime reason he wanted to remove it again was the fact the roof has got a curve to it and it needed to be jacked up, then welded to get the sort of flow to the roof. We used 1.5mm steel which is a lot stronger than the original roof, if you decided to do it, I would question weather your body shop has the ability to do it. I would go to a metal fabricator who can actually bend the roof with also jacking it up to get the right curve.
