I'm arguing that you can't cut the body off a monococque, because the monococque IS the body. Hence the name monocoque aka unibody.
You could modify the monococque with yer sawzall, but you can't pull the body off it.

If you cut the top off a Cayman, you cut the roof off the body, not the body off the car.
And it's a stressed part, so the entire thing would be weakened.. So better to start with a Boxster, since that one has been built to work without a roof.
