Roof? Looks like dogshit. Along with the quarters. If I hadn’t already spent thousands and thousands of dollars doing all the chassis, rollcage, and suspension I’d probably scrap the car and start over.
I’m sort of at a loss right now. It may be awhile before I post another update. I don’t even really want to look at any of it.

Don't give up on it, yes, take some time to get over it and then start studying how to shrink it back to skim. You can make it better and probably "good enough" for a skim. Finding rust free body parts where you live is like me looking at rust belt crap. The hood I just had body worked was warped from blasting bad enough that my bodyman told me to find something better. I got another hood that looked better, until it was chemically stripped and it was just as bad under all the paint and filler.....
I worked the low areas on my original with a heat gun and flame, with refrigerated water to shrink and I got it "good enough" that he was OK with the amount of filler needed to make it presentable. I had the same thing with the right door for my Camaro...HUGE, deep dent right on the center body line in the middle of the door. Bodyman wouldn't touch it. He was amazed at how well that dent came out with some metal tapping and ironing with heat and cold water. It's in final prime and ready for paint.
Be disgusted and pissed as long as it takes and then get back on it...
