I'm contemplating getting a very cheap and run-down coupe and cutting the roof off. I have TIG welding equipment and will fabricate frame stiffeners. I also have a covered place to keep it for the six months of wet weather we get here in the SF Bay Area.

I see the big convertables and think they are just the classiest things on Earth. Sure, this one would have a $300 paint job and be in need of some decent upholstery but it's not the flashiness I'm after. $1000 for the car, a couple hundred in fabrication supplies, $100 for some seat covers and $300 for the paint, that's $1600 for a very fun ride.

What would I be getting myself into here?
