Looking good so far! Where did those tires come from?

Nice start, but wouldn't it be easier to convert this to convertible:

tires are from the kit, but i had the red stripes from another model that i didnt use them on.

i think it would be alot easier to do a little bit of filling to this kit, then to cut a whole roof and what not off of the 69 hardtop kit
