Crushed Roof 200

posted by  someone claiming to be OBryan on  Sun Feb 17 04:15 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I had a large tree branch fall on my 84 242. The insurance company of the tree owner says they have no liability for falling tree branches so I will not get any kind of settlement from Allstate. (My joke to the agent was I got part of the good hands and it was the middle finger)
Until this incident the car had a nice body and overall it was in nice driving condition. Being one of the last 500 two doors made I felt it to be a desirable car.
The roof is caved in several inches and I was wondering if any of you fine folks had ever attempted to repair damage like this? One link I found on the web suggested cutting the roof off another car and fitting it on mine. This project is beyond my scope of knowledge. Has anyone out there ever tried jacking the roof back to some resemblance of it's former look? I am thinking about trying that and then giving the car to one of my employees. Any advice?
Thanks
