So I need to replace the roof on my black ST coupe, (check my profile for details) and I was wondering if anyone has done this type of body work before. The hood and front fenders are easy enough to replace but the roof will need to be replaced. I know how to weld and after reading the post about coomers yelli celi I can get the paint done as well. But I was curious if anyone knows how difficult a job it is going to be, should I just take it to a shop and let them deal with it, or try and do it myself?

Well I thought about making it into a Convertable but the area where the roof meets the windshield is pushed back to my sunroof and my supports that run down to the front fenders are also creased. So I thought it was beyond saving.
 But I would like to try the Targa route, that might look pretty cool. I dont think I have seen a Targa Celi.
