I had the same thought at that time; but the conversation drifted off in another direction. I went to high school with a guy that had a '40 Chevy coupé with a chopped top stored in his parent's barn. Snow brought the roof down. The rest of the car wasn't that bad but the chop was toast.
As it turns out, I'm working on something you might want to see— a disaster/displaced/homeless shelter. I'm collecting materials. 5ea 1 1/4" steel pipe, vinyl coated steel cable, and yesterday I got 4ea 3x15" ground anchors for $4.99 at Wilco. All I need is some 1/4" brass tubing and turnbuckles. It will be a 10x10ft hexagon floor plan, but it would scale to 20x20" trivially.
I'll let you know how it works out.
