probably stupid t-top cut off idea..

so... one day, whilest looking on the internet, i saw a guy cut the top off his car.. this gave me the idea to take a t-top car.. and say cut off the middle bar? like disconnect the rear roof from the windshield completely.. this also made me think of taking say.. a regular iroc, and cutting off the middle piece to give the same idea.. and making like.. a single t-top, out of your car.. so if you did this to both they would look the same, but you could just put the piece back on when need be? am i crazy?

That's called a Targa top, it's been done before. You will need to strenghten the body like convertible coversions though.
