hahha ya i figured i stir it up on that post. but what ive seen done,
They welded in cross braces and lateral braces inside to prevent any flexing or warping from occuring, then they chopped it and rewelded the new top in place, then and only then did they removed the temporary braces to ensure the body remained true to form, They made it look easy but talent and skill often does that.

i agree swapping the shell may be easier!! and what i saw done, was not performed on a supra!!!
