    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)

    I dont think plexi-glass is a good choice. because of its brittle nature and tendacy to turn yellow with age. Lexan is a much better material.

    replacing glass

    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

    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.
