Lexan windows.
Hey - where would i go about looking to get lexan windows for my 73 charger? I'm interested in at least the windshields front/rear. Thanks.

You will most likely have to cut it yourself using an original as a template. Plastic supply houses would have the best prices for lexan. (Cut out the middle-man.)
I used 3/16" for the windshield and 1/4" elsewhere when I ran a Challenger in brackets. They have different versions, some of which are more scratch-resistant. Isoprophyl alcohol is good for removing shoe polish as it literally melts it off. Unless you buy the special stuff to write on your windows. A good plastic spray-on cleaner/polish, which should also be available at a plastic supplier will help prolong the life/visibility of the lexan. |

Have you tried TAP Plastics in San Jose on Alameda @ Race St.?
They do almost anything custom. Warning, they are pricey. |

Hey thanks for the replies. For you guys that got custom work done, did you need to leave them your car/windshield to use as a mold, or did they already have a template to work with?
I think there's even a TAP plastics here in downtown Mountain View. Thanks. |

At TAP, you will almost definitely have to leave your windshield as a template. I haven't had windshields done there, but some other things and they don't keep any templates of anything there.
