I can help with build sheets, let me know what you need.

I am not sure on the banded windshields.

I was under the impression the other glass was tinted on the AC cars

Another possible source for 68 information concerning windows and tint is the buck tags depending on where the car was built

Just a though/possibility

Over two weeks to one month lead-time sounds about right for any busy production period, it may vary a bit after production slows down.

Good idea except our buck tag is missing and Marti Auto Works is not making them right now. :(

Yes I agree. I was surprised to find that a lot of the side glass was made in the latter months of 67. It could be that the convertible glass was not used as quickly.
