I had heard for years about people doing it, but it just seems like more work once you have to to take everything apart to even cut the hole. Then you are left with... well a big hole in your car.
 
Yup. That's why I only did it once. About 20 years ago. It's a major pain to do a fuel pump in one and someone (pre-interweb) suggested the access hole method. It really wasn't a time saver. IIRC it was mainly an attractive option because the tank was full of fuel.


Car looks like it's coming together. Sorry to hear about the roof discovery.

Thanks its getting to the final stages. but at least on a good note the roof should look better then ever now. Should be getting the last of the order from Rock Auto on the steering rack and belts and brake pads so im all set to finish this pig up
 
Okay so last night i got the rest of the roof sanded down. In the middle there is a sort of resin that i leveled out some. Now i have to build it back up and finish it with some filler and then can wrap it. Had i realized what was under the paint i would have suited up i itch like crazy today

I read somewhere that those roofs were an appearance problem when the cars were new. I don't think they were body color from the factory. It's my guess you are dealing with an attempt to repair that issue.
 
K member removal (yes I went the hard way and took the block out from the top)
I was just going to say when I saw that block hanging I was like- there's an easier way...but now you fixed that. 🙂

Considering LS technology is 20+ years old now, plenty of tune-experienced folks are out there for your car. Even canned tunes are better than they used to be.

Rad-*ss and bad *ss. Liking that old-school Pontiac blue!
