Being inspired by this entire category I have started to rebuild some of my old grave yard specials. Some of the not so intense projects paint removal and polish have been coming along quite well. I am down to windshields and drivers on a few of my old tjets and a couple of vibes. Can anyone suggest the best place to obtain windshields and drivers please. I was looking at some of these (hopefully I'm not going to get in trouble for posting a link here) If so just advise and I will remove it.

Anyone tried the windshields from this fellow? Thoughts, are they better than the Dash version?

Thanks in advance ..

That "guy" is the man behind the newer Model Motoring,
he is straight up with business and often includes extras to
repeat customers. :thumbsup:

Another good source is Road Race Replicas. He does a bunch of reproduction bodies and parts. Been very pleased with the quality and service from Phil:

Here is my feedback:

1. Harrison at Model Motoring has top notch glass and have bought several pieces from him
2. Tom @ HOModels has great (and expensive glass) but he looks to have closed his website www.homodels.com. His ebay handle is 112796
3. I also use Dash bodies for glass, tops, and chrome usually a very good fit and often inexpensive.
4. Glass from other clones - Johnny Lightning (JL) and others have repops of some tjets and vibes. I've used glass from JL AC Cobras (need modification) and the JL Corvette for the Vibe Corvette.
5. Road Race Replicas - wide variety of glass, not quite as nice as some of the others in my opinion.
6. Homemade! You can use cassette and CD cases for flat glass in Dune Buggies. I have used a vacuform for some tops with fair success. Other guys here use blister plastic material to fashion glass.
