Default WANT TO CONVERT ALPHA 60 TO TAILDRAGGER

I have a Hangar 9 Alpha 60 that I would like to convert to taildragger. This plane was involved in a mid-air and I have just about completed rebuilding it.
While I'm this far, (I'm going to have to recover) I would like to convert. Can anyone tell me if there is a conversion kit or maybe someone has done this and can tell me what parts to buy and how I should go about it? I'm sure I would have to do a little reinforcing in the fuselage, but that's no problem at this stage of rebuild.

Would be much appreciated. I am new to this (a beginner) and on my very first flight with my instructor, wham. I am anxious to get going, again.

Thank you Exeter Acres for your help. I am new so I haven't read a lot of the threads, yet. However, I think this is going to be my favorite place from now on. JUst in looking at posts today, you can find a lot of info
so you don't have to ask a lot of questions. Thank you, again.
