    there's a few things i have been wondering and would like to have answers..

    -are there any companies making repro-windshields, or any other glass for mavericks?

    -has anyone ever used plexi-glass in place of any glass on their maverick?
    (door glass, 1/4's, etc)

    there was a few other things but i cant think of em..

    Except for racing - stay with real auto glass. Windshields are still made and available from autoglass companies - but that is all. Everything else you will need to find from a donor car.

    There is plenty of junked cars out there, I have a small stockpile of glass for these cars. Lots of guys on this board have a bunch of parts cars too.

    Don't use plexiglass-it scratches easily and turns yellow/cloudy pretty quick. Lexan is better, but is best left to purpose built race cars.
