DO a search on this topic I think there is an ongoing thread on this subject. GBVette has this mod and was in the thread posting pictures of the conversion he did.

GBVette did a super job on his. But for us who are mechanically challenged, there is Caravaggio www.caravaggiocorvettes.com & Smoothline www.smoothline.com/ We went with Cararvaggio. Here is a link to a few pics >>> http://c5.techbottle.com/hardtop/hardtop.htm

Actually, the Caravaggio hardtop did not come painted, Burke Corvettes www.burkecorvettes.com in FL did the paint job & it is a perfect match.
