The USA built 68C cars have the landau hinge lowered from the belt line where the earlier models are on the belt line. This was due to the slant windshield. There is no extra work to cover it.

Since this is a folding top, it's actually less difficult to trim than a Sport Coupe. It does have a difficulty factor that is a good bit more than a plain Roaster or even a Deluxe Roadster. Not everyone wants to take on one of these upscale models as a complete DIY project but it is likely easier than the OP might imagine. There is bound to be a trim shop that will do it. Hopefully some other poster may know of one that doesn't mind using a kit.
