Hi Stuart, I am working on a scratch build too, from Chuck Lindquist plans. Kirkham gets glass from Poland from what I have heard. When I talked to Pro Curve they needed a lot of information I didn't have at that time, before I got the first set of plans I was trying to find the glass since I though it would be the most difficult part. Steve would not confirm or deny that they made the glass rear screen for the FF coupe. So I am keeping them in my back pocket in case I have to have a piece made. Chuck said he would add the dimensions from his car to the body plans. I don't think any of the replica companies come close to the originals. I was told that Hawk Cars in the UK can get the Polish windshields, but I have been in contact and they haven't answered that question yet. I also am looking for lower ball joint forgings if anyone has a solution for that problem. Hawk has original design ball joint forgings on their complete "wishbone" for 360 British pounds. Pretty reasonable, but I am waiting on a quote from them on their adjustable set. Let me know how you solve your windshield problem, I would be willing to split the cost of production with some one if we could figure out the process. I did see a thread here about trimming a mid year Ford Falcon windshield, which is a cheap solution but I have not looked into it other than to know they run about $190. So not a big investment.
