Hey Jerry!,

I've got a V8 72 sunroof car. Rust free but in a lot of pieces at this
point. How can I get parts for the roof canvas?? I'm missing some of the
plastic parts. Does anyone have instructions on how this goes together? To
any of you that think you can build a canvas gremlin.... good luck. The
roof is design special for the canvas. Reinforced. I know they, AMC made
alot of cars with the sunroof option (Hornets and Gremlins but they are hard
to find because they leak a lot and water would get inside. Pretty much a
NO rain summer car. Any info. on parts for the roof would be great.

Thanks,
