It could but here is a way at looking at it with the "glass half full." It really wouldnt matter if you have a couple rust holes, or an entire mess like mine. It needs replaced to keep from rotting (proper repair) so it is what it is. The repair is simple in itself. I had a harder time putting the seals in, than replacing the header, and the windshield. I was able to put a buddy's header installed in 3 hours, and this includes pulling the windshield. Now, all the seals and such were removed first. I guess I am making it a point, that the job is not hard, at all. I have blended quarters, installed inner rockers, outer rockers... you name it I have done it. This job is easily considered one of the easiest to do.
