1 word.....reinforce reinforce reinforce.

by chopping the roof (main upper support) you have to almost double 
the lower frame to keep it from twisting. Also I would recommend 
adding a roll-bar in case the car flips....it may look cool, but if 
it flips without a roll-bar your dead. Thats a hell of a lot of 
welding and weight added.

I have 2 pics of a chopped rocco
