Replacing T top roof with full roof.

Have an 87 w/t tops that I would like to convert to a full roof. Putting in a cage and have no use for the t top roof(seen them fly off) Thinking of cutting at the a piller and weld into the rear roof where the t top ends. Anybody done this?

Searched until my eyes hurt. Found a bunch converting to t tops and several wanting to do the t top to hardtop conversion but no one that has actually done it. Have the ability to do it just looking for ideas on where to start.
