Nice-looking Tempests!
They will be a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too. IMO, don't even
think about straightening the roof on the black one---just weld a straight roof on. I spent a long time on my '63 racecar straightening the left side of the roof where it had apparently been run under a tree branch (or a bridge abutment!). If I'm faced with that again, I'll just replace the roof. Normally, a roof is the one part of a car least likely to be damaged, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a replacement.
