Sunroof delete

Hey guys figured now is a good time to delete sunroof during this quarantine. Heres are alot of pics. Reason for the delete is the dam thing didnt work and it leaked bad every time it rained and couldn't even enjoy a carwash with out having to worry about water leaking all over. So I figured this was the best way to go about doing the delete, so if anyone else wants to attempt this here is a good example. I used an OEM roof to cut out as the template of metal along with the braces ( good metal ) btw. I cut the braces out the reinforcement the roof. Everything else is body work, welding test fitting etc. I haven't weighed the sunroof but im guessing its around 30lbs or so but i will get that exact #. I also have my build thread in the member rides part of the fourm. If anyone is interested keeping up to see what is next.

Like this. Added 2 more braces for more strength.
