i know the usual fiberglass fenders, hood, trunk, and bumbers are availible, but what about plexi-glass windows, like stock replacements with the same thinknesses and same mounting, I this this is do-able where to the un keen eye you won't notice there plexi but they are????, the windows would still beable to roll up and down ( this is probably a 100 lb. drop, beings glass is heavy)

Take the braces out of the doors, big savings, and nobody will ever know! Also check out this page Weight Watchers for your Buick (http://www.buickperformance.com/wgtloss.htm)

Lexan is a much better material.

If you look at JEGS you will find plastic glass for a Chevelle . It is the same as the Skylark . Good stuff is more than 1000.00 cut to fit your car but I do not think it is for roll down windows. My 70 has the door braces and window regulators removed and the window moves up and down with a seat belt like the factory backed 68 Hemi darts . There are many uneeded parts if you are going to drag only . Just decide how radical you want to get .

careful with lexan aka polycarbonate. some cleaning solutions will cause it to craze (micro cracks) and cause it to turn fuzzy and no longer be considered safe.
