I made a windshield exactly how I wanted it out of carboard. I then took the measurements, just to make sure there was no confusion.
I brought this to glazer glass in New Bedford (only because its right across rt. 18 from my work). They made what I wanted in 1/4" plexi the next day. Cost was $130. Front panel is 40"wx 15"h. Both sides curve back, and are angled down, with a zig and a zag, but are approx 8"wx15"h.
You don't have to use glazer, I bet any glass shop / windshield repair can do this. The gal at the counter at glazer said they do hundreds each season. I haven't mounted it yet, but I will take a pic tonight anyway. It came out way better than I thought it would.
One thing I wish I did was have them drill the holes for me before bending. I am not really nervouse about drilling the holes, but it would have been easier for them when working with a flat sheet of plexi.

Put some masking tape on both sides before drilling. That'll usually prevent and chipping or cracking.

There is also a shop in Boston I once found on the web,....just forget what I was searching for  Bottom line is that you do not have to go back to the OEM shop. |

What material is it made from? Glass or an Acrylic or something? Zacs mentions a place in NB and I think there is one on 117 in Warwick that will custom build for you

That's the name of the place I heard of - of Warwick Ave?
They have a good rep if it is who I think it is... |

I second Nightfighter on the Boston area company, they advertise at the Boston show every year. Orange flyers. Think they are south of Boston and can make anything you want.
