Personally I think learn from this blokes mistake - ( http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=210036 ) ie I wouldn't do it. However best thing to do would be speak with an engineer in person to show you best places to cut/how to brace etc. (Maybe take the car with you) Because as soon as you cut the roof off, the body at the rear will warp and getting that back into shape will be well near impossible.
