possible hard top convertible, consideration Options

[acenova]

what up all, alright, kind of a random and off idea, but what if someone were to think of making a hard top convertible 6th gen, something like the del sol or the supra? Would you think it to be possible?

Unibody:

The frame or unibody provides the structural strength of the vehicle and also a location and mounting points for other systems that make the total chassis. The frame design is the oldest, made of steel and designed so that the body of the vehicle is mounted on top. The unibody, on the other hand, differs from the frame in that it is actually stamped out as part of the body structure. Also referred to sometimes as unitized construction, today?s automobiles most commonly use the unibody design because its inherent ability to absorb energy during a collision. Most light trucks continue to use body-on-frame construction. Even though a car or light truck is usually built one way or the other, there are some vehicles that use a partial frame (sometimes called a sub-frame) along with unibody construction.
