    '68 Dart Convertible Stuff

    The best I can tell, the 68 A Body Verts, used a special plastic insert into the lower windshield trim. They want huge money for it, that I am not going to pay, so I just put some of the 65 Barracuda rear window plastic in mine. I did pay big $$ for the stainless piece that goes on a 69, but...
