Duane,

For 5-6k they had better dip the bloody bastard in acid and paint it in
gold leaf  You ought to be able to find someone to dip it and paint it for
a bit less though.  

With regard to the shipping of the windshiled......try MBE  (Mail Boxes
Etc.) they will pack it and insure it for whatever you see fit.  so have
them pack you $50 windscreen and insure it for $2K....if it arrives in
pieces, who cares??  Hell, they advetise they do that kind of thing.
