I'm still considering the roadster option as I wouldn't drive this thing in the rain. We get 300+ days w/o rain here, so its not a prob. I acknowledge all the advice against whacking the roof off of a rusty Charger, but I hate to tear up a good Sat or Coronet convert to create this thing, plus I...
'68 Charger convertible
Hey:
Now that I understand the best way to create this, can ya'll tell me all the year models of Coronets and Satellite converts that will readily accept the "68 skins?
Thanks-
Hey, I could handle the roadster look. If this thing comes off as nicely as I plan it to be, it'll never see the rain. All I'll ever do is drive it on sunny days a wipe it with a diaper.
So, if I cut the roof off, can I finish the top of the windshield somehow without looking like hammered...

While were at it, what's ya'lls opinions of aftermarket chassis I see offered at around $11,000? Then all I'd need...
I'll risk upsetting the purists and post the following question: If I wanted to create a 1968 Charger convertible, what's the best way to go about it? I do not wish to destroy a potentially valuable restoration project, nor do I want to pay a fortune for my jumping off point.
I'm a Pontiac guy...
