Will a roof skin from a 1979 Camaro work on a 1971? If so what if any modifications have to be made. I need a roof with the front windshield pillars and have access to a free one. But I don't know about the back window issue.

I would think you could make it work....the only difference is the back window..... 79 had the wrap-around window and the 71 did not.

Just buy the repo skin. It would be a lot of work to rework the back glass area. Ebay 300140299211. 329.99 buy it now.
