I have seen plenty of postings on how to repair small holes in a roof. My 69 Cutlass S has some pretty big spots under the vinyl top that will require some bigger pieces to fix the sheet metal. Also I have the standard holes by the lower rear window.

I am at a point that I could use some suggestions. I have some options that could be possibilities but wanted to here from folks that have experienced this.

Option-1 cut the top off and make it a convertible. What structure additions would be needed as well as hunting up the convertible equipment?

Option-2 I have located an old shelled out Cutlass S that has a solid top. The thought would be to cut the roof off replace my roof metal from about 1 inch back from the top of the windshield back to the bottom of the back window.
