Focus on design and method for the the bumper first, then we'll move forward.

- lexan sounds cool, but it's not something that needs to be handled and because there's so many other small items to deal with we'll stick with glass |
Design method -> 10 parts foam + 1 knife + artistic talent = plan of action
Ugly body grooves -> Yes they will be wavy, metal or not. If you find the time Mon or Tues night, check them out real carefully and apply some filler where I fucked them up with the pry bar. This way we can block sand all the body work Wed. You will also need to find/ buy a mini rectangular block for the grooves. Durablock prob makes one.
Also, if you want we can mask and prime or at least spot prime Wed. If you don't have a gun let me know. For this we'll need blue or green painters masking tape, and masking paper. Or we can double up newspaper.
Final thought, if you buy paint. Get the slow reducer. Slow. Don't care what billy bob says at the paint supply store or what joe ass clown says on the other forum... slow reducer.  Slooowww.

Second final thought welding that piece onto the roof, then spending hours filling and sanding and filling and sanding and priming and filling and sanding and priming and glazing and sanding and priming and sanding (Yes those are all necessary, in that order) is a whole hell of a lot of work to do to produce a very gay stock look.
I vote for lexan/ open/ or a net. It'll save time, weight, cost, and you can sell that top on e-bay for prob a decent amount.

If you want an example of wavy metal grooves, look at the drivers side door on my Neon. Wavy as all hell, why? Because I don't care about that car, because it's a Neon, and worse a Dodge. Ergo, it deserves wavy panels. Which is prob why Rice-Rocket-Hating-Bird is attempting to dissuade you.

A good rational point.
Open is almost certainly not NHRA legal, so I'm pretty sure that's out.
Net? I don't know
Lexan? Probably legal, but I don't know
Anybody know a NHRA rule guru? I'll set it aside for now. Plenty of other things to do.

The groove will be exquisite when we're done. We can make an applicator for the groove (like a template) out of wood or plastic to make it easier to apply and smooth efficiently.
BTW, in case you didn't get my voicemail, you're open windows are
M-W-Th-F 1:00-8:00pm. Wednesday might open up as I think I'll try to take it off.

No. What kind of foam from where and I'll get it. Or you can get what you need and I'll reimburse you for it.
Don't have a gun, tape or paper.

we can get a small sanding block that should fit in that groove.

Well, not to complain. BUT. Too many ugly guys and only one cute girl. You need  more women if you want me to watch these.
