I'm looking at the same combination. I think it can be done "fairly" easily. I keep an eye on this thread.

before you pick up the saw, decide how you will brace the cowl and rear wall. Once you cut the roof off, they lose alot of support. We did this to a van years ago and had to keep adding braces to the cowl to keep it from shaking as you went down the road.
