Mine looks like this too.
I think a roof replacement is required???
Would love to know if someone else has fixed this without replacing the roof

Lots of work there.
Would search for a roof chop for sure.
Wondering how much rust will be in the unseen places on the edges of the roof.

I commend you to taking up the challenge to restore what looks like a massive job. Looking at your photo there seems to be rust through out the area. Not knowing what condition the rest of the car is in, your level of restoration and your skills, this may become an expensive and time consuming exercise. As an ex panel beater and can tell you that nothing is easy. However, there are many experienced people on the site that can provide you with help. Good luck mate.

I had to dig up the old PC to find this diagram I got the sheet metal supplier to fold to.
It's not very clear but it might be of some use if you can't find a roof to cut up.

Gday i know that it looks pretty shagged as it sits but look at it as another panel replacement. i have put heaps of roofs on cars over the years and its about measuring things first a million times, bracing the car cutting and welding once.
The easy way is through the pillars and if your donor has mint gutters a very neat job can be done. Putting it on as a skin is a lot harder and alot of unpicking of panels.
Put some more photos up if you can and i think the hardest part will be to find a clean donor roof.

Too many variables there re "old timer".
Has he retired?
Is there any rush?
Is he working from home in his own time?
Doing it through a business?

This is what mine looks like. I have a roof cut with no rust, thanks for the replys.
I thought about 30 hours, i.e. a week.
The old girl has the usual rust in the sills quarters , pans etc, but it was a complete car.
Im expecting to find firewall and plenum rust, that goes with the territory.

I paid $400 for the complete car, was that too much
