It would definitely be cool but, it will start another major build episode. Cut the top, buy a tubing bender, buy tubing. Learn how to screw up tubing in bender. Buy more tubing and so on and so on.
In my case, about a million later and I would have a chop top XJ that looks like $10..

Hey Lowrange, the roll cage that you built has it been welded to the "b" and "c" pillars as well as the interior roof? I would really like to cut mine up but need as much info as possible (research) so I can achieve what others have done as well. Any pics and more info is very helpful.

The cage is actually a kit cage that I purchased from T&J Performance. Then I added harness bars and a big X behind the seats. I want to eventually make an external halo to brace through the roof down to the existing cage and add more triangles.
The main thing is to plate your frame rails and attach the cage to those. (Which is also on my long list of things to do. Bought the steel for it yesterday.)
