I sent my 68’ glass to Percy’s (Speed Glass) to be used as the mold for the lexan on my AMX in 2005. The full set, front, door, wing, and back fits very nice. They now sell them through Summit. Give Summit or Arron or Chuck at Percy’s a call, 888-727-2970.

....just to update everyone, the Percy's operation has been purchased by Taylor / Vertex (yes, the ignition wire & magneto guys).  Currently, they are not making any lexan window / windshields and before their purchase, Percy's had idled their lexan window line.  Chris at Taylor / Vertex / Percy's told me to touch base back with him in a couple months as they are planning on starting window production again but he had no idea of when inventory might be available.  The impression I got was to not hold my breath so....  back to square 1 I guess!

Don,

This is the worst news I have received all day. Looks like I’ll never get my original glass back.

  You can cut these yourself from a flat piece of Lexan for about a third the price these companies will charge you.
  I've even done the back glass of a 79 Camaro in Lexan,  you have a hard time finding a car with a glass more curved and wrapped around than that.
