    Anyone no of some good resin kit makers? I'm looking for a 61 LeSabre like mine.

    Modelhaus is the best. They have quite a few resin kits.

    But not for a LeSabre 2 dr. Sedan. If they have a resin, it would be the same as the promo/friction/kit i.e., Invicta ht or conv.

    I think a 2-door sedan is going to be tough as well, but I know Modelhaus offers a '61 Invicta 4-door hardtop, and that might be as close as you can get. Go to www.modelhaus.com if you haven't already. It's a nice site that features a gallery of some of their kits.

    If a resin kit of a gm b body 2 door sedan is available, a skilled modeler could mate that roof to the 4 door sedan lower body. Then just scribe new lines for the door openings.

    That's very true, and I believe there's a '61 Chevy Biscayne 2-door sedan body available, though the manufacturer escapes me. That body would provide the donor roof needed for the LeSabre, but you may as well start with Modelhaus' 1961 Invicta two-door hardtop to make life easier.

    I'm replying to my own post - so sue me! The manufacturer of the '61 Biscayne is MCW Automotive Finishes. I found this out by putting '1961 Chevrolet resin kit" into my search engine, and their site popped up. Hope this helps your conversion get off the ground.
