Hey there. I've been doing some research on this because i am interested myself and am in no way a pro.
I think some obstacles could be the tools required, the paint, and the lid.
If you can make some nice clean holes for a fixed grill that would be better. If you fix the grill in place, however, you have to make some sort of contraption on the bottom to load and clean it as well as ventilate the fuel. You won't be able to hang meats or adjust cooking space easily.
The paint on that drum probably is not safe for high temperature which would require stripping it (firing it really hot and burning it off?) or painting over (don't think that would work).
You can get those clamp lids in this style: https://www.amazon.com/Drum-Locking-Ring-Inside-Lever/dp/B01LYH71DW
but i don't know if/how these stand to heat.
TLDR: Yes, it just sounds like a lot of expensive work unless you have one lying around.
Good Luck!
