Would it be feasible/legal (in PA) to use plexiglass for the windshield? I have a friend who works at hardware store who can cut me the pieces for cheap if I use plexiglass, so it would save me money over actual automotive glass. I know it scratches easily, but it would be long-term temporary. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | I'm pretty sure plexi is illegal for windshields. It might be ok for side windows though.

Its a plastic that is used by the railroads for its toughness and durability. Kinda pricey though. Any vintage train cars going on the road have to use it (as I understand it). | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 81 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 81 | I'm in the glass biz, and if the windshield is just a flat piece of glass, you can buy a piece of laminated glass (like the original) cut for not that much money and it'd be a whole lot safer than messing with plastic. I'm sure it'd be cheaper than the ticket you'd get for running a plastic windshield. Just my $.02. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 122 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 122 | it's just a flat glass sail, but it's got the little divider in the middle. I guess it's still a single piece, and that strip of metal in the middle is for support against the wind. not an aerodynamic design, but then I guess they werne't built for speed | | |
