I found a guy that will cut the stock glass to fit. Or cutting a lexan one is always an option if all else fails.


A word of caution. A friend of mine in FL built a car similar to yours with a chopped and raked windshield. His was a low buck build with a plexi windshield on a rusty POS chassis that I sold him for $200. The next owner wanted a glass windshield, and a 'pro' broke 3 or 4 windshields attempting to cut it down to size.

Killler project, best of luck with it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


Must have been Glenn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I really like this project and the lift off roof will be very cool.
