Need source for custom-made race car windshields?

[decooney]

Looking for a race car builder or scratch builder who might know of a good source who makes race car windscreens / windshields.

I'm working on a ground up custom car and need to either make a windscreen and frame from scratch, but due to time constraints, would like to locate someone who makes them professionally. Will need the frame, bracing/brackets, Lexan windshield and all; based on specs I can provide. Even an older 40s-50s aerospace vintage look would be even better. Thanks ahead of time for your responses.

Any ideas on sources?

Have you talked to the folks at ERA? They built for one for my car (sorry I don't have any current pics) The aluminum work is great but I can't comment on the plastic/lexan material used. It certainly look period correct though.

Hi, I'm really looking for someone who specializes in custom windscreens for vintage race cars; like old Can-Am Race cars. This is not for an ERA product or Cobra, so I know ERA would not mess with this. It's like a Lister, but wider, about 12" wider and about 4.5" lower than a Cobra and different shape. Thanks though.

Howdy Duane,

For the custom lexan/plexi contact:

Aircraft Windshield Company
(562) 430-8108
10871 Kyle St
Los Alamitos, CA 90720

They do a lot of work for both original vintage race cars and replicas. They may also have some recommendations on who can do any custom frame work.

Cheers,
Alan
