Interesting idea
i was thinking it would be cool to replace the 2 ttop pieces into 1 piece and remove the center metal strip.. Kinda like the supra setup... perhaps eliminate the glass altogether and fab a solid top thats removable

people have done it but knowone ever seems to finish it.
It would be a very simple project, just drill out the spot welds that hold the center piece in place...done.
Your gonna want reinforcment like sub frame connectors or a roll cage, our stock unibodys can't handle it and will fold.
