I managed to “score” a lot of points that way
It was a pain in the ass getting the rear part of the roof because Dodge reinforced the sheet metal. The sawzall and I won in the end though, just had to be careful of the razor sharp edges on all 4 sides
I bet it was a pain in the ass! You know how the top responds when you make the rear cuts. First one usually pops up from residual stresses in the sheet metal. The second cut drops like a rock and usually pinches/takes out the blade. The rest is easy if you have a nibbler, but the handling the tip is like trying to brush a shark's teeth. 
Someone will end up with at least a few cuts if not more.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
