Default Sail panels
Yesterday I was at a local salvage yard and came across 7 lt1 t top cars with good sail panels.

I was thinking about cutting the roofs off and selling them, didn’t know if there was any need and what it would be worth because of shipping? Or if it’s even worth the time of doing?

I wouldn’t be peeling the panel off that would be up to a buyer. What are your thoughts?

Yeah I understand that, peeling them is a pain. But also shipping not sure cost and size of that. That's why I am not sure if it is worth it.

Honestly the cost at the salvage yard for the roof is $150 not looking to make a fortune. I just know how hard it is to find them anymore.
