I have an extra windshield that I am cutting down two inches (chopped in hot rod parlance) because it looks so cool. The posts and frame are finished and I am trying to get the glass done. I am usin

Hi Ray, Just a thought but Safelite auto glass makes their own windshields; At least that's what they told me when I had my wife's windshield replaced. Maybe they can do a special for you. Richard of

I use to work at a Safelite plant back when I was in college. The cost of tooling up and making the molds necessary for one windshield would be prohibitive. Windshield glass is typically heat streng

You might just want to go with some plexiglass. It is cheap enough that you can buy more when the wipers (if you are using them) scratch it. Plexiglass was good enough for a 100S without side frames

Hi Ray, I have in the past tried to shorten a laminated screen with unsatisfactory results. The last one I had done by a water jet cutter. Like cutting butter.. Michael Salter _______________________

Plex is my fall back position. I hope I can get a good glass one but at $200+ a shot there is a limit. Ray Ray, You might just want to go with some plexiglass. It is cheap enough that you can buy mo

How was that done? The water-jet guy I talked with had a problem with the curve in the glass. His machine is a two axis and only wants to do flat parts. Did they get it done in one try? Ray Hi Ray,
