Default The unthinkable. Broke the windshield

After 13 years with this machine, I've broken a windshield. The windshield frame wasn't damaged but the glass is shattered in the middle of the windshield. So now what to do? The car is an early 92 Everette Morrison. This is a really great car but I'm worried about the owners of E-M actually getting back to me. So I'm looking for ideas on how to get this glass replaced. If I go to the Lexan or synthetic route, who do I talk to and how do I make sure the replacement will have the right curvature and dimensions as the broken windshield? Can it be duplicated from the broken glass? It's still in one piece and in the frame. I've taped it up so it'll stay together. Is it possible to duplicate the glass? I'm looking for any help I can get from all of you.

Figured something would happen as the car was on it's way to the chassis dyno after I put a new cam and lifters in it last fall. .

Thanks everyone.

Tim
