Is there a source for pre-formed Lexan windshields for 70-77 Hornets/Gremlins?  Building a land speed race ccar, 75 Hornet hatchback, and would like to use a Lexan windshield.  Pro Glass in northern Illinois will make a one-off from an actual windshield, other options?
1966 American HT, 401 with STR 11, T10
1979 Spirit GT, 401, T10
1975 Hornet Hatchback, 440 c.i. stroked 401, to be an LSR race car
1930 Essex coupe, to be a 401 with 3 deuces, TKX 5 speed, hot rod

Having Bob at Proglass make one for you is the best option. They are not that expensive and they do a great job. Now if you want to build a box, get a heater, and try to do it yourself your going to end up with more money and probably a lot less quality. I've bought Proglass windows for the last 24-years and I wouldn't even begin to waste my time trying to do it for no more than they charge.

i know i made my own for my spirit just based on cardboard and a piece of 3/16. Riveted in all the way around. Still had to make supports, but instead of paying $300 or so (best guess) i literally have $100 and a sense of accomplishment in mine. and Faith.
