I have the chance to by a 53 hornet coupe with a crushed roof.
The A pillar and windshield are totally crushed in about 8-10 inches.
Window split and frame are totally destroyed.
Back of roof and rear window are OK.

I have a 53 4-door parts car, I'm wondering if the angle of the a-pillars and the windshield on both 53 models are the same or too different to consider using the front of the 4-door roofline.

Sure would like to save this one, your knowledge would be appreciated.

I believe at least about the first 16 to 24 inches from the windshield toward the rear would be the same. From that point on the begins to change for the contours of the coupe roof. I have attached a couple of picture of my '54 for your ready reference
