Baronedog,
I have the same problem as you. My problem was the heat here in Cali baked the seam sealer away and allowed rain to get between the pinch welds. So now I have rust on the inside above the window frame. So as you I asked myself repair or just cut the complete top off and replace with good donor. I am going to cut the top and replace. Going to make original opening panels out of plywood. These will get put in to replace the doors and front and rear windows so when I put donor top should be easy to size up and then start welding.
Good luck and please take pictures as you go..
