Man that sucks to see that amount of rust on such a nice car, I would take a serious look at the entire car to see where else hidden rust might be lurking before going any farther.
If that is the only area you are dealing with then you might have to find someone parting out a gbody and cut off the front section of the roof even if it is not a t-top car you might be able to make it work using the t-top replacement parts like ones that GbodyParts sells.

Yeah I bought the complete kit from gbody but the very bottom piece of the roof panel wasn't with the kit because it hadn't been manufactured at the time when I purchased in February. Brian at Gbody.com told me back in April they had just began making the part but didn't know when it would be available on the market.thanks for the reply

It would definitely be easier if they have it in production and you can get it new instead of a used one off of a donor car since you will know it will be test fit with their other parts that you already have.

There are several cars being parted out by members on here. Look through the parts section. I'm sure you can get it cut out of a parts car. Maybe not T-top specific but you should be able to get some good metal to work with.
