I hate say this but you have more damage than just the roof. I see side pillar damage and post alignment at top is bent in (may spring out) when roof is removed but I see a kink in the left rear quarter that tells me there is more to this than just the roof.
Strip out the interior panels at back seats and over the rear fenders look for hiden damage. This might be a total shocker once you open it up.

That whole car is turned in on itself. Talk about totaled. Not a backyard body job by any means.

Strip that car man and find a clean roller and swap it all over....

You have much more issues then just needing a skin or bows you need both roof headers on the ends of the roof while pushing it out would help get the sides where you need them you may still need to push them more with a porta-power, you are never gone to know till you get the roof off and the new one ready to set in place then push things around from there but look at the rest of the car you need a hood a cowl a hatch and a windshield a roof skin and the bows and both roof headers. The car is really just not worth fixing unless you are fixing for sentimental issues other then that it is just a fox body mustang no real value and wont be worth that much 20 years from now. I would just get a new body and move on if it was me and I do this stuff for a living. looking at the car from the rear is the Left quarter buckled or is that just a reflection in the paint it looks to me just to be a reflection if it is indeed a buckle that is more reason to move on.

ok you guys convinced me. Will take your advice and use the parts on something else. Uedlose you were right the left quarter is just a reflection but I will not try to fix it. Great input from everyone and a great forum.

Occasionally, when a home or business has roof damage, they need more than roofing repair, roof contractor miami will remove old roofing materials and replace it with the roof material of your choice.
