    Hello to all!! Could you gasser guys help me out? I need to find a source for the blue transparent plexiglass or lexan material for the side windows for my sedan. I think 3/16 should do.The 1/8 would be ok if it is all I could find.Thanks, Glenn

    I don't think they make colored lexan. Try McMaster.com for the colored acrylic or plexiglass. The brown truck can bring it.

    use 3/16" or 1/4, 1/8 is too thin, might blow in, even on the sides

    I saw a gasser at a recent show, he just used some of the bright blue tint that all the Hondas are using over the factory glass, it looked good and would last longer

    That gasser was killer, the tint fooled me.

    Glenn...Scotty used 1/4" clear Lexan [tm] in his Morris....heated it in the sun and went over it with a heat gun to soften it to conform to his Morris curved windshield and back glass opening. We tried plexi first but after it sat overnight in his garage and cooled down, it crazed and cracked in 345,723 places....the lexan worked fine and it still in place after about 12 years....dig it........
