The lines are "almost" exact.

thats why I selected that roof.

All the body work was done with a minimal amount of filer (sp?).
The guy at the body shop uses his little hammer to shape the metal back.

He softened the roof line where needed. Thats about it. If you check the other thread (the one with pics) you can see the lip and work that went into that job
