It is impossible to do a 197 it can't be done don't be drawn in noooo. It depends on the car a land rover would be fairly easy but a car with a monocoque chassis, by cutting the body you are cutting the chassis, greatly weakening it that's why most convertible cars are nowhere near as strong...

Welcome, I've seen that car before, I'm sure. Page 74 current pfc magazine?
