I’ve thought about doing something similar in the past, but you would almost need a dedicated table saw for panel ripping, as remounting the fence rails and wings would be a pain in the bootay.

Why not make a vertical panel saw? Much easier to load sheets on to, and should be quite a bit more stable, as the saw is moving over the wood, rather than a wooden cart on casters moving over a shop floor… It would take the same amount of engineering, but takes up less floor space and doesn’t require removing parts from the table saw that are already calibrated. Most parts could be made from steel pipe from Home Depot, just make sure that all the pipes are square and run along the vertical supports without binding.
