Dianne,

 There are short pins welded to the roof.  Under the stainless strips there is steel sub-structure. The sub-structure has holes the pins go into.  There are smaller slots cut to the holes. Once the pins are aligned with the holes the section is slid (forward, backwards - sorry, can't remember) over the pins. Even if the stainless looks good don't be surprised if the steel sub-structure is rusted.

Don't be surprised if that substructure crumbles to pieces when you try to remove them, I ruined several when looking for those strips in the yard back in the day. 'Course that'll show you which ones are good.......... ........

Thanks guys, I can use a rubber mallet I guess. I want to get this one painted in the worse way!

I did get the Galaxie finished today!  I didn't do the paint though, the Galaxie doesn't fit in my garage LOL

That new paint looks nice and shiny!!!
Dwayne

Thanks Dwayne, the Pinto is next. A way lot more to do before paint though, found way more really small crows feet, I should have had it sandblasted like someone here said

That color looks good on that car..
