Default WTB: STeel Sunroof Panel Near Atlanta

Anyone out there got a steel sunroof panel near Atlanta? Color and condition not a factor as long as the sheet metal is in good shape. I will be using it to delete the sunroof hole in a track only car that is currently stripped and awaiting paint. Anyone? Thanks

Hey Todd, those fiberglass sunroof, are they much thinner than the standard ones? I'd like to get one if it's going to help me with the clearence in mine whit my helmet on. Do they come with clips on them to hold them down also?

I also like to attach a camera mount on it and use it soly on autocross

Let me know
Thanks

But are they thinner? Could they be put in place of an electric sunroof?

manual sunroof panels are about 5lbs lighter due to the fact that they don't have as much reinforcement glued to the underside of the panel. The panel itself may be thinner as well, but probably not by much. If you rip out everything that has to do with the electric sunroof, lift motor and gears and such, you save roughly 10lbs.
