Crown Vics have aluminum stock so sourcing one shouldn't be a problem. They are one-piece as well. They should be available at the junk yards in California. The draw back is that they are generally larger in diameter potentially interfering with exhaust and other components. Reducing drivetrain weight is always a benefit, at least in a street car. I was going to put one in my '73 Duster, but the clearances are too tight with the extra diameter.

Good info, we are going to have to modify the exhaust anyway because of the unique rear end setup so clearances should not be an issue since were doing a lot of modifying. Thanks!

Lenax windows......anyone have them? Worth the price?

Is that like transparent aluminum?

Is that like transparent aluminum?

Not 100% sure.....I think its a type of polycarbonate material thats 50% lighter than traditional glass and will not shatter under a roll over. Speedglass sells Lenax windows but they are on the pricey side!

After much debate, I decided to totally delete the back seat from the car because I want to keep her on a diet! Orlando Cantu, (My shop guy) is building this awesome rear seat brace that ties into the sub-frame connecter system!
