As far as I know, on average I cost over 5K for a month. I'm not as curious about the hand that feeds me though, lol. If I were flat rate I sure would be.
Full roof stampings did not show up until a few years later. Tooling was not developed to that point yet. Any you see with no fabric insert have either been filled like this or are fiberglass. The 37s were the first mainstream cars to have that but it appeared as early as 35 on Caddys. As far as I know. Most of them leave the gutter / mounting flange for the fabric insert and use a flat patch but I whacked the gutter and used the center section of the roof off that yellow '68 Camaro because it had approximately the right crown shape. It was a challenge. I whipped up a wooden brace for some minimal support but it will hold up two jack stands without it.
