Cutting open a torque converter

Torque convertors are built on a zero balance platform, that is why they weld on a weight for use with a 360. The front facing plate that the ring gear is welded too on a mopar T/Q is very strong, the actual body shell is there to house fluid as the rotating parts need the input shaft of the trans to support them and keep them centered. Once the body is cut open and all parts removed you are basicly left with a ring gear, that by design would be stronger then a typical chevy ring gear / flexplate. Honestly I see no danger in doing what he is trying to accomplish.
