Description
When rust, rot, or old vinyl tops have compromised your GM A-Body’s roof, don’t waste hours patching holes or chasing weak spots—replace the entire roof skin quickly and correctly with AMD’s premium OE-style panel. Specifically designed for 1968–1972 GM A-Body fastback models, this roof skin is the solution for restorers looking for precision fitment, durability, and authenticity.
Whether you're working on a Chevelle, Malibu, GTO, LeMans, Tempest, 442, Skylark, GS, Cutlass, or Cutlass Supreme, AMD's roof skin offers a seamless, factory-style replacement. Made to original factory specifications, it spans the entire roof area, perfectly mating to the A-pillars and quarter panels—just like GM intended. For models originally equipped with vinyl tops (a common source of hidden rust), replacing the entire roof is often the smartest, cleanest fix.
Application Notes – Monte Carlo & Cutlass Supreme Fitment:
While this panel is engineered for fastback models, it also fits 1970-72 Monte Carlo and Cutlass Supreme with minor modification. Due to differences in the sail panel area, light trimming and shaping may be necessary during installation to accommodate these unique body styles. However, it still provides a superior base for restoration compared to universal or poorly fitting panels.
Why Choose AMD Over the Competition?
At Auto Metal Direct (AMD), we’re restorers ourselves, and we understand how critical accuracy and ease of installation are. Unlike other aftermarket roof skins, which often require excessive reworking or adjustments, our panel is built using AMD tooling and crafted from proper-gauge steel for unmatched fit and strength.
Competitor panels may skip the details—thin steel, rough edges, or poor alignment—but AMD's roof skin is meticulously test-fitted on real A-body cars to guarantee that all contours, flanges, and mounting points match factory specs. This saves you hours of labor and results in a cleaner, stronger finished product.

Installation Overview:
Installing AMD’s roof skin involves removing the factory spot welds, lifting the damaged roof skin off, prep and welding the new AMD panel in its place. Thanks to our commitment to OE fitment, the new skin aligns cleanly with factory seams, drip rails, and glass openings. Minimal reworking required—just a professional-quality replacement right out of the box. For Monte Carlo and Cutlass Supreme models, trimming adjustments will be needed at the sail panel areas to ensure perfect integration.
