Hello mate,

Why not just live with the cage as is. It will have no affect on safety.

I plan to loose the roof on mine in the future.

I wont be replacing it with ford metal though!

roof chop

make the car 2" lower, cut the roof off and shorten the A/B/C pillars and windows, then weld a shortened roof on, be very different and would save the need to redo the cage, and also lower the centre of gravity.
