making resonator/need help

After visiting numerous web sites about guitar kits and resonator guitars etc. I still havn't found good instruction on how to make a resonator out of a dreadnaught. I found some converter kits on ebay but I'm not sure they will do the job. They only came with the cone, bridge, cover, sound hole covers, and tailpiece.
Do they need to have a sound box (the wooden ring about 3-1/2" deep with circular wholes cut in it?
Do they need additional blocking?
Will it cover the exist'g sound hole or ...?
Any suggestions?
any tips will be appreciated. I am hoping to set up a resonator for minimal cost exclusively for sliding practice but and I have a spare dread to experiment with.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
