I have a 1969 mustang , I think SCCA calls for 5 mm minimum. Can use 4 mm if you use a center support. This is a track car for some weekend play. It wont be required to pass stringent tech. Thanks for the reply.
Awesome thanks and welcome to the family. So honestly I’ve just used the spray foam glass cleaner stuff. Haven’t really had it long enough to give long term feedback
So I’ve had no hazing. There was a video that showed the weight and talked about that I’m pretty sure. I cant remember what the number was but if you’re watching this comets playlist then I should be close to this video in the list
Can the lexan be heat formed by clamping it to the original window and the heating the glass with a heat gun to keep from damaging the lexan? Also where are you getting your lexan from? I got my front windshield from optic armor and it was 620.00 dollars. So you would think that at those prices the service would be excellent, I can honestly day was the worst customer service I have had from any company I have dealt with in the performance industry in my 40 years in the automotive business.
So honestly I’m not sure. If you watch the video that’s titled” more changes to the Comet” I think it is I actually show where I got it from name and all which will be easy for you to go off of. It came off eBay. Name was pop something I’d have to look back.
It come off eBay. Seller was pop something. I go over it in my video titled “more changes to the comet”. I showed the receipt and all. Hope it helps you out.
your side windows dilemma make me think of an episode or 3 of a BBQ grill converted to a plexiglass heating chamber for forming and shaping replacement glass... maybe you need a little heat and lay it on the original glass to get the shape you need.
I actually have an idea on how to get them to stay in line with track and incorporate a pull handle to close door all at same time. However I don’t think I’ll be doing anything about it for awhile. I don’t see myself rolling them down much at all
We haven’t drove this car yet. We took it to dyno and blew it up and currently waiting for tkm to finish the rebuild. Check out our other videos on this car.
Great video, appreciate the tips I’m currently working on windows myself this was a big help.
Hey absolutely thanks a ton for watching
Thanks for the update and tips🤞🙏

Looks good man keep on grindin ,may want to make you center support of some kind
Yea I thought about it bc I want to mount a rear view mirror so I could also use it to mount that off of.

You’re welcome and Gottcha cool to know. We don’t get teched here on anything hardly.
Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank Jeff
Would be really interesting to see if it does take shape when clamped and heated!
Yea you maybe able to find some info on here about that I’m not sure
Do you need a brace in the middle? Did you use any weatherstripping? I’m doing front and back in a Fairmont. Thank you
I did not need a brace. I used the foam tape I showed in my video
Hello, I liked and subscribed. Good videos. What do you use to clean the lexan? I'm reading Windex is the devil on these
Awesome thanks and welcome to the family. So honestly I’ve just used the spray foam glass cleaner stuff. Haven’t really had it long enough to give long term feedback
So what was the total weight savings and how do you clean them in a way to prevent hazing that happens to plastic?

I did whole car for alittle over $300 I showed receipt in that video
Is there a way to install it like regular glass with molding instead of screws
Yes you’d just do exactly what you do with the glass. On this car it’s be just put it inside the gasket and rope the gasket in
So I could use the glass setting ribbon like the factory and just reinstall my molding? Cool
Where did you get the tinted lexan from?
It come off eBay. Seller was pop something. I go over it in my video titled “more changes to the comet”. I showed the receipt and all. Hope it helps you out.
Can I use plexi glass? Broke my windshield need a cheap fix. Places here want $500!
Plexiglass doesn’t work the same I don’t think. I don’t think it bends as good or something I can’t remember.
Fairmont Futuras don’t have a door glass frame so I don’t think there is anyway to do those in lexan
I have no clue on them.
@9:00 they are called a tinnermans clip👍
That’s what the other guy said and I forgot lol maybe I’ll remember it next time. Thanks!

How's door windows holding up against scratches from rolling up and down?
I haven’t seen any from going up and down yet. I did put a few in installing them but a heat gun should take them out
@@ThePaintPaperHustle 🤙Good to know. Thnx for replying.
You’re very welcome
How does it sound when driving? Any wind noise?
We haven’t drove this car yet. We took it to dyno and blew it up and currently waiting for tkm to finish the rebuild. Check out our other videos on this car.
@@ThePaintPaperHustle will do thank you.
You’re very welcome hope you stick around and welcome to the family
what thickness Lexan did you use ?
Unfortunately if it’s not in one of the 3 videos then I don’t remember. I feel like I disclosed that in the first video but I honestly don’t remember
I like that
Thanks
Wilmington NC?
Yes I’m in Wilmington
@@ThePaintPaperHustle man it’s a small world. Hopefully I can see the car at a track one day, when I head back to Jacksonville
Absolutely buddy that would be awesome
Lol !! Blame Harper !! She don't care !!! As long as she has a crayon to color on ur car !!!
That crayon is a bolt or screw driver normally 😂
💔 P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!
👍🏻
I think you're gonna shave atleast deeznutz off your car in weight.... that's my best guess on the weight I'm not real sure tho. 🤷♂️
😂😂😂🐖💨
