Hey, I have had my 68 convertible since 1992. I've done a lot of restoration work to it. Let me be honest it is expensive to do this. Buying new parts doesn't mean it fits exactly like it is suppose to. Chinese parts don't always fit properly. Be cautious and ask a lot questions before with your work. In the end you will be happy and satisfied. Be patient. I have made many mistakes as well as others have.
