I think I can make it good enough with some hammer and dolly work. Or I can cut out a patch for the section of roof that I need.

Now I have a question for those that have done it: How do you weld the rear of the roof skin to the rear of the cab? It looks to be spot welded internally. I can take it apart, but how does one re-attach the skin? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Would suggest to peel the roof off and get the rust out to clean metal. That area it will keep growing due to condensation.

Your into it now, why not go all the way.
