Hi. My 56 rag had roll over damage when I got it (after i ground off a couple buckets of bondo). So it is all dented on either side of the sunroof, and in the picture shown, there is a fold. What should I do? Also, my car was a victim to the fiberglass happy eighties and so the previous owner decided to cut holes in the sides and screwed on air scoops. How big of a hole should I cut to replace. Should I section the whole area out or just a square around the big hole and weld shut the little ones?

HOLE: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=93867

Also. Anybody want to choose me a color? It's between primer grey, primer black and primer white. The wheels are red and I've got red and black fender beading.

I've never done it, but is seems like the ideal solution for your roof would be lead. Maybe somebody else will chime in here Question

That's what I was thinking too, but it's hard to find a lead guy these days. I'll ask around though
