    Mustang Aluminum roof?

    I have what probably is a stupid question, but one I don't know the answer to and can't find any info online about. A friend of mine is looking at buying a 2000 Mustang with some hail damage on the roof. Only the roof, nowhere else. He checked with a local body shop guy to get a rough idea about doing some PDR on it. The guy told him that year Mustang has an aluminum roof, and getting the hail dings out by PDR is nearly impossible. I wasn't aware of any stang having an aluminum roof at all. Is this true? If so, what years have aluminum roofs? Or is what the guy told him BS? Thanks

                  Someone over on Corral made a carbon fiber roof skin for a 94-98 Cobra.. that is the only known to me non steel roof but NO Mustang ever had an aluminum roof.. dude didn't want to touch the car would be my guess..

                    You wouldnt think so, PDR on something like that must make good money. Or is it something where even after it is done it still doesn't look perfect and people bitch, making the hassle not worth taking on?

                    barack obama is president. You no longer need concern yourself with your own welfare. The government, as nanny state, will protect, provide and handle everything for you. All you need do is demand your "entitlements", continue to vote Democrat and watch Oprah.

                    Vote democrat... because your daddy's union boss said so and millions on welfare are depending on it.

                        I'm going to guess it was over the shops head that looked at it or it wasn't a job that could be even pdr'ed.

                          Yes.

                          The 99-04s had Fiberglass hoods, no?
