Re: [ASC McLaren ] Question

the windshields are the same as a hatchback mustang. the mustang
vert winshields will not fit. and i will have to agree with you on
the side windows....the will shatter, sorry tom, not sure where you
got the info from, but even the vibrations from drilling out the pop
rivets that hold the window in can cause them to break....i own a
chop top ecscort and again, your screwed when it comes to side
windows. the old rodders can cut the 2 ply safety glass that use to
be in cars but not tempered. we had to hand form lexan for the side
windows because the cost of producing them was rather extreme. the
windshields(more than one attempt) were cut at our expense even when
they broke them. it took an experenced glass cutter 3 trys to get
it right. the price of customizing........
