I will take the gate and lights for sure. When you say skirts are you referring to the wheel skirts because we are good there. Also do you work out shipping cost to WI? 53228 zip
Thanks

Yes, that would be the wheel skirts. Shipping might be pricy; I think it would have to be shipped as truck freight. If you have anyone coming this way or going that way would probably be the best way? No hurry on pickup. Thanks

I sent you a PM with contact info. Thanks

Welcome from a 68 Newport owner!
(Among others..lol)
For the windshield, it is the same as 4 door sedan.
I strongly suggest get a new gasket same time.
Both will be special order and the glass will have tint across the top.
Here are reference numbers your local glass supplier can cross reference to today's newer numbers.
It will not be cheap.
To save money on labour costs, remove the interior garnish trim, sunvisors and rear view mirror.
Outside, remove the stainless trim, wipers and wiper cowl.

Hope this helps

Thank you cbarg,
That won’t be a problem having it stripped and ready. Just to confirm I understand your chart, I would need interchange # 640?

I was getting worried about finding a windshield so thank you for easing my mind.

Hi from Chilton, Wi up near Appleton, post some pix of your project

To order you need the NAGS (National Auto Glass Specifications) number. It's not 640 which is an internal reference. The NAGS number for this windshield is W658. I've found the number in the Hollander but my edition stops at 1966 and my other Hollander begins at 1969 !!!

Here are a couple pics. We are currently working on fixing the front sub frame. I thought it would be a little easier finding parts when we started lol.
