      Clint,
      If you are set on using glass for the windshield, then you will need to employ a body shop to reduce the size of the opening to fit the factory windshield. They will need to reduce the opening by 3/4" or so for each direction, plus subtly shape the opening so the wrap of the glass matches the cowl and roof.

      John,my car is a daily driver so I would be very hesitant in using anything but a glass windshield. Reducing the size of the window openings in metal sounds time-consuming and expensive. But,what else is new?

      I met a guy at Chevellabration in Nashville last week that's building a custom 69 Elky. We're going to work together on developing a one-piece side window kit for 68-72 El Caminos. It would be easy but the windows have some curvature.
