Looks the same as four '67's that I've opened up. FWIW, I found using plastic scrapers or wood shims to remove the heavy stuff first minimizes paint scratch. Depending on conditions, you may be able to use a wad of the mastic as a removal tool for the heavy stuff. I wore rubber gloves...

Welcome Patrick. We need more pics of your Newp in order to dissuade you from cutting up the hood. IMHO, a scoop doesn't belong on a 4DSD. But it's your car to do whatever you wish with. Hope the input helps. John

FWIW, I just had to disassemble the right rear door/glass on my 4DSD. I found a few things that needed attention. The glass had gotten really hard to raise and lower. Eventually the plastic rivets that secured the glass to the track failed and the glass was flopping around. The original...

Tears of joy only.:D

You are correct sir. On all points. I smile every time I get a restitution payment. John

No, I moved to another, bigger shop shortly after the trouble. But he lost his business and his wife in the deal. And I know where he is. John

3 years, out after 2, 3 years probation. And $25k in restitution, which he is still paying. I actually went and visited him while he was in. Only to assure him that he would spend the rest of his life wondering if I would seek revenge. To be clear, I'm not that kind of person. But he...

I used two quonset hut style units for almost 7 years to store two of the Newps. They were top end quality wise, and price wise as well. The HFT unit you linked is low end junk that won't last more than a couple of years before it is compromised. I paid $850 each for mine in 2004 and 2005. The...

Keep in mind that my input is for '67 only. Rear glass on sedans use gaskets, 2DHT's use sealer only. I have not done any rear glass work. But I have done two windshields on the Newps. Both were original windshields coming out. They both had gaskets, butyl sealer, and 1/2" wide foam tape...

I can't help with the A-pillar trim, haven't dealt with that yet. The exterior beltline trim is attached to the inside edge of the door with spring clips(maybe 3-4) similar to what's used on the door panels or the cowl trim at the bottom of the windshield (just smaller). Roll the window all the...

Just to clarify, the roll pin you show goes through a doughnut shaped roller. Two of my Newps still have the roll pin in place but the roller is gone. My speculation is that over time, through a lack of lubrication, the roller seizes on the roll pin. Eventually, the curved stop rod with the...

This is what I learned when I replaced the windshield on the 4DSD. I got mine from here: Vintage Glass They offered tinted or non-tinted. Follow the guides on the website and submit a price request. It may take a day to get a response. I got impatient and called them, They told me to send them...
