Do some searching.

There have been a couple. Not many. It's super cost prohibitive.

There are only a couple around. The widebody five axis one and I think there as another floating around. The most costly part is having the glass done. Otherwise its just labor and alot of measuring.

I absolutely LOVE that xB.

Chopping the top on any car, and not screwing it up, is incredibly complex and expensive.

Now, if someone devises a way to brace the chassis really well from underneath, I could see hacking the roof off, and making a carson top. Of course, that would render the car a death trap, should anything bigger than a moth hit it, but let's not worry about that....

Don't know the story behind this one, but it's an extreme chop! Looks like a diecast to me.
