I'm looking for a company that would be interested in making a few sets of this curved corner glass. I have a group of people interested. if the price is right there is also interest in a 2 piece conversion (from the original 6 piece). Any companies you've used? I know we can buy plexi replacements but that sounds horrible to me. Thanks in advance.
IIRC, there was somebody in Sweden (or one of the Nordic countries) that would custom-make windshields if you furnished a pattern. A couple of very high-end customs got them. I don't imagine it will be cheap....
I think you would have to start by making a pattern as stated above. Check out this https://www.customcarchronicle.com/custom-cars/custom-glass/#.XULdAehKjIU for some ideas. Google "custom windshields". A bunch of years ago a buddy of mine made a pattern and had one made. If I remember correctly, somewhere in the Boston, Ma area.
The right plexi, MR5000 (or 4000) won't be cheap either but likely cheaper than glass. What's right about it? One of my race pals had it in his bracket racer for a dozen years that I know of and it always looked like glass in spite of untold amounts of shoe polish dial-ins and cleaning. I think a 4X8 sheet used to be about 3 times the cost of standard stuff.
