Oh snap!
That is of course the easiest way but vert bugs are not easy to come by and you will pay for it.

| i've thought around that too. like if i could cut a big sunroof in it, and then have a piecce i could insert in, but it would have to seal up really well. |

The car I have already has Full Chromoly cage from front to back, Beard seats that are mounted, rear Beard bench seat mounts, king/link pin conversion, +7 beam thats welded to the cage, Wright rack, Chromoly front arms and Chromoly 2X3 on the rear, full close ratio 3 rib on a 10* mount, strong 2180. Full CNC Hanging pedal set up, Wilwoods all the around it, 6 Fox shocks, etc........
When it was caged, it was setup to take the body off. It would be easier to just cut the top off at this point. |

Sweet if its set up to take the body off you could have two of them 
bodys are easy to find
i would find a body cut the top off do all the sheet metal work and drop it on your pan that way if you dont like it you can put yours right back on  |

I second this idea.
THis would also limit the down time for your car...
Course'.. I wouldn't do it at all. I've had both. Sawzall Vert', and a full body... and I like the full body way better.
Especially with a car that looks as good as yours does. (in those pics anyway)
