<VV> Rear Window Project

[tony..]

Take this comment for what it's worth...

I once read an article about a guy who formed a Lexan rear backlight 
"glass" for a roadrace car (not a Corvair) by using a stock backlight 
glass as a form/buck, a sheet of MRI Lexan, and a home brew wooden bake 
oven (described as more of a long trunk than anything else)  and a heat 
gun.  He laid the stock glass on blocks to level it, then draped the 
Lexan over it, shut the "door" of his oven and piped the heat gun into 
the "oven" and cooked the lot.  It took a while but the plastic 
eventually softened and draped itself over the factory glass.  I assumed 
he simply used a saw to trim the excess.  You can cut Lexan with a 
jigsaw easily, just tape up the areas around the cutting line with 
masking tape to avoid scratching from the saw's "skid plate" or whatever 
it's called...

If you use Lexan for such things, ask for MRI Lexan.  It's much more 
difficult to scratch or haze up.  I used Lexan MRI for my Goldwing 
motorcycle, original plexiglass windscreen was dulling and yellowing.
