Rusted out vinyl under canopy!

Hi guys long time no see...... I got the fever again so here I am.
I am in the process of purchasing a 71 RR with a canopy top. The body is excellent except for under the vinyl (it's gone). Does anyone have any contacts or a parts car that I could buy a roof off of? Also I know 71, and 72 are interchangeable but how about the 73, 74 are those different dimensions?
Any help you can give me would be appreciated!
Dennis
PS I will probably post a question on moparts as well.

Hey Dennis
Good to see you here again. Do you still have the SRT? I have a friend who parted a 71 Satellite several years ago, and I believe he still has the full roof we cut off. He'll be at the Mopar Nats, and lives less than an hour away from there. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you his contact info.

Hi Eric,
It's good to be back.
I did have to sell my SRT. My wife got sick earlier this year and was off work for 5 months.... It's amazing how fast you can go through savings. As much as it hurt and upset my wife I told her it's only a car and from what I hear they are still making them.
Are you still enjoying your B5 RT? How bout that intake, did you ever take delivery?
You would love my new project. Still finishing up the details of the purchase. 1971 RR, butterscotch, 383 slap stick auto, factory wing, chin spoilers, rusted canopy, and strobe... Oh yea factory air grabber too. It looks to be a great project to get me back into the game.
PM coming your way for information.
Thanks for the info.
Dennis

I do still have the B5 R/T, although the new Green with Envy 392s are really tempting. Unfortunately, the prices are a little too high for me!
I hope your wife is doing ok now.
Butterscotch car...very good choice! Will you be coming down for the Nationals?
I send you a PM

Thanks for the info Eric, I really appreciate it.
My wife and I will be at Nats on Saturday. It can't be much hotter than it has been this week in WI.
Hope to see you in Aug.
