Does somebody know how to convert an AMT '53 Corvette in one of his Show Car "uncles", the Corvair? I had no time to buy a Mini Exotics transkit when it was available...

Most of the work will be the roof and tunneled decklid, obviously.

I'd try a Jag XK-E or a Lindberg GT-6 roof for starters. Neither kit is much good for anything but a parts donor.

Well, for now I do have to agree with you, I do have a Lindberg GT6 ( that was waiting for the finding of the wheels they used in Le Mans, a most probable impossibility, as I never saw it in some other car... so I did not pay great attention to the kit...) it's quality is really is very, very bad! so I already cut the top off, and it may go in the Corvette with, I believe, a BIG AMOUNT of work... let us see what I can achieve with it... thank you very much for your tip
