All needs cut. Don't know of any bolts. The sides are "gas or arc" welded to top with probable spot welds at "A" pillar and bulkheads. Where is problem? Drip rails? windshield surround? why whole roof? Red58, et al, can confirm or suggest options. Is this a rust repair or accident repair? Sounds like you have already made your decision but try to see if there is a way to repair just sections with your donor.
The weight will be approx. 90-110 lbs., two guys can lift.

Had the top off at the same time. Cut top at b pillars drilled out spot welds across wind shield and top of doors. The rest is bolted. I don't know that yours is the same
These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

First attempt on this site, so I hope it went correctly. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 82 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 82 | Did the same on my 51. I guess the technique remains the same? If so you can see in my gallery pics. Good luck | | |
