Default roof removed,what a task!

Ive got this 94 parts car,figured I would remove the roof before a tree fell on it or something(dont laugh its happened 3 times to me).
Anyway I cut the cap off the frame to save for a fix of the 99-02 dreaded **** glue problem.
There must be an easier way than the way I did it.
Anyway its off.

you dont really want to know........
its hot ,outside in sun so I had to take breaks.
Also removed the headliner,and rear hatch for easier access.
I wish I had seen a pic of one already removed so I would know just where to look for the rubber to cut.

There was a thread on here about a guy that cut roof off his FRC c5z06 to make it into targa top.
