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.
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.
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.
