A friend of mine here in AZ did this. One of the nicer bodies around, looks good and fits. What I didn't care for was, the C5 mirrors and maybe they could of re-thought the exhaust tips to resemble the era. I'll look for pics
Here is a thread with some poor quality pics, http://arizonavette.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1545

and here is the link, has good pics of the process. http://www.crcoachworks.com/

The name of the company is Classic Reflections Coachworks in Lakewood Washington. Here's a link to their web site.....

I believe there is now a waiting list, and the cost of the conversion is about $58K plus a donor C5 convertible....

Looking at the pics on the website, didn't do justice to the car I've seen in person. With the top up, I remember now, wasn't crazy about that part either.

Yeah - you could buy a Z06 which is a belly button car. Not to mention that best part of that car is what you don't see...the worst part of that car is what you DO see!

I have personal knowledge of the car in the posted link...and there is a lot more to it than what meets the eye....

The cost is out of this world. Alot of cars I could buy for the cost of a vert AND the conversion. I'm also not that big off a fan of the conversion, looking at the original cars that the owners sent in then seeing the finished product - not for me.
