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.

Option 1 will destroy the car. Option 2 is the only feasible option. I would actually make the cut down on the A-pillars rather than in the flat sheet metal behind the windshield. There's less chance of warpage.
