I just started digging into it and Im hoping its light enough that it can be sanded down and just coated for now, the rest of the car is really too nice to want to take the body off the frame at this point.....

That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 1975 firewall back parts shell that has a decent birdcage in it - I'm going to hack that out and dispose of the rest of it. If you want to go for the gusto and change the whole cage it is THE way to know that you know that you know it is nailed and clean.
I modified a 1978 birdcage for this 69. The spot welds drill out and the roof t top bar comes right off. Then it is a snap to weld in the convertible top hinge mounts.
