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.

Yes, you can unbolt the front fenders, bumper and hood. In the rear, you can cut off the rear fenders and remove the bumper. The windshield frame could be replaced but it looks to be close to a Boxster screen. However, they added the bright stripping found on air cooled models.
Inner fender structure and hood/deck surrounds look to be very permanent.
But making and hanging new doors in the existing frames which are stressed looks to be a bit of a project as they are no where near the same. Furthermore, I would submit that the Boxster is a much larger car as is the Cayman.
