Feralc,
You can do this sir, there are a couple of threads on this site and probably many more utube videos out there showing the process.
You just need to get a piece of Lexan MR10 on evil-bay (or elsewhere) for about a hundred bucks, make a construction-paper pattern and buy the correct tooth jig saw blade. I did it in about 2 hours and it turned out perfect.
:)

Thanks I will look for some video somewhere because I have never been good with cutting and things like that.
I'd rather have the one that is pre cut, or get a glass and put some clear film to protect it. |

Are you certain it is not polished aluminum? |

There is a place near me that sells scrap Lexan and plexiglass. I made wind wings out of M10 and a few other pieces. It cuts really nice with a fine tooth circular saw blade. It is really hard to break, unlike plexiglass, so if the saw grabs, it won't hurt anything. I used a die grinder with a carbide deburring tool to chamfer the edges.
It is really easy stuff to work with. I used 5/16" thick.

The car is at the shop, I asked your question to the mechanic and he replied "chrome"
I am not 100% sure but the car is one if the early backdrafts, what were they using back then? |

It could be either, it may have also been replaced since the car is very early. |

I used the 3/8 " material. I know a few that used the 1/4" and ended up having more flexibility that they were comfortable with. Mine has worked well at speed with no more noticed flexing than the original glass.

Lexan Windshield
I removed the broken glass and replaced it with a 1/4" lexan from a local glass shop. They used the old glass as a pattern. The only mistake was to not purchase the scratch resistance lexan. I have since purchased the correct lexan and will have it cut and put in place of the non scratch resistance lexan. I understand that in most states lexan is not street legal but who checks this.

...........on a Cobra? Hehehe. I would presume that would be the least of the safety concerns.
