In a few easy steps
Won a hardtop Performance Red 1:18 off ebay for a decent price...$12!
The convertibles are pretty hard to find so...I made my own
I also bought a "base" red 99 'vert a while back new in the box. Looking at the hard top, it looked like most of the convertible stuff would fit but how to get rid of the hardtop roof?
taking the car apart revealed that the roof was molded separately and was rivited onto the body.
Removing the roof revealed some raw diecast metal that just needed some Performance Red touch up paint...the convertible boot goes "inside" the car & doesnt cover this area
You also need to remove the windshield assy from the donor car (its all plastic including the pillar posts....which also need touch up paint to match)
Heres the interior & chassis waiting for the roofless body...
Screwed it all back together & viola .... A convertible 35th Anniversary LE 1:18th
