Thats easy,widen the read deck on the outside of the lock receivers.Ive thought about this type of project in the past and this is how Id do it.Id take the ZR-1 and the complete donor convertible.Both cars would be striped down to the bare frame from the windshield back.All of the convertible frame structure would be transfered to the ZR-1.Everybody thinks it would be so much easier to just take a convertible and put everything ZR-1 on that,you could do that but you wouldnt have a ZR-1.There a guy somewhere close to me that has a 91 that was converted in Europe some time ago.When the weather gets nicer wee supposd to get together for some pictures,when we do Ill get as much info as I can on the car.[IMG][/IMG]

I had also thought about converting a ZR-1 over, but Figured no one would really be on board after they learned what it would cost to turn a ZR-1 into a convertible.

It has been done a few times. There was the one body that sold a couple of years ago that had a Vert rear deck spliced to a ZR-1.

If only you could find someone with an LT5 for sale.

Yes, there are a few out there. I just figured since I was building a car from nothing anyway, why not go for it. LOL

That will only happen after intense negotiations.

Yeah, ........my vert!

Let's see now, #702 LT5 into #702 and #444 LT5 into #444, both convertible conversions. Someone's lost his tiny little mind!!!
