Back to the Future Mod
Everyone tell me what you think of this link
http://crcoachworks.com/RollOut/Rollout.html
This conversion is being done in Tacoma WA. My company built all the tooling for it. It's done on any C5 convertable.
You provide the donor car and the conversion is done at CRC for 45,000
My 2001 is going to be the second one converted I'm going to have it painted a 1958 color (Regal Turquoise)

Really like this one better than the C1 out there.
I think Cragers would be a better choice in wheel style.
Try editing this back in the opening thread.

Expensive, but I really like the look. IMO, much better than the '53 also.

45 is a lot of money. You could keep your 2001 and buy a solid axle. It is a fine looking automobile though!

Caravaggio's chopped vert conversion would be the answer to the windshield

This one
is a C1 body style. It's just a '62 body style instead of the more familiar '53 conversion, like...

wrecked C5's are perfect for this Mod
If you know of any C5's for sale with extensive body damage but very little or no frame damage that's the ticket for this conversion because all of the existing panels are removed and the new ones are put on.
The car is 4" wider and 2" longer than an original 62. The new panels are all epoxy pre-preg materials that are vacuum bagged and oven cured, (no Polyesther in this baby) they got 40 orders at the SEMA show in vegas Leno stopped by to see it said he's got a couple of C5's in his collection he may convert one. Right now there is about a years wait. I don't know about any of you but I owned a C1 (58) it looked beutiful but I hated driving it.

Convertables Only
right now the conversion can only be done on convertables however he has had some interest in doing Z06 conversion. it is possible, the top has to be removed and provision has to be made for the convertable configuration
