RE: Roof Panel
Excellent!
If you're interested, I have a post in the top section. I replaced a quarter on my '69. It might help. Although I didn't go with the full sail version, it will be pretty much the same routine. Remember not to distort the other panels too much when you remove the old one and support the door jamb to avoid body flexing.

RE: Roof Panel
Nice job on the roof. All I can say on replacing the quarters is brace everything up as much as possible. I finished up my quarters eariler this summer and a exra bit of time spent on bracing so you dont get any flexing when you remove those panels is key. I basically put wooden blocks all the way around so the car wasn't sitting on springy suspension. Might have been overkill, but it turned out great.
Good Luck!
