Your car was one of the cases that inspired my to tackle this! I'm going to take the second option. If I could find a car that was that perfect, I think I'd just buy it rather than take it apart...
Honestly, I would not recommend option 3 to anyone. That was just a crazy thing to do with people (me) who didn't have any sense having never done a car project before. Interestingly, that donor roof that I used was already cut off of a car. I bought it off of a guy in NC. I asked him why he would even cut up a car like that. He said the rest of the car was a complete wreck. I just can't even imagine given how perfect all that donor material I had was.
