ruffrida2005 · 01-07-2010, 12:39 AM

ruffrida2005 · 01-07-2010, 12:40 AM

Oh and I bet you would only run a high 15

jgh64pkup · 01-07-2010, 12:48 AM

that would suck seeing that its an 1/8 mile track haha
whats acrylic

ruffrida2005 · 01-07-2010, 01:01 AM

it's a type of glass. like a really hard plastic that you can shape and bend with heat.

jgh64pkup · 01-07-2010, 01:04 AM

oh ive heard of lexan and i thought about using that for the rear glass

jgh64pkup · 01-07-2010, 01:08 AM

are motorcycle windshields acrylic

70 Suburban · 01-07-2010, 09:39 AM

some are. well mine is anyway

ruffrida2005 · 01-07-2010, 05:07 PM

Acrylic is easier to use then Lexan I believe, I put a Lexan window in my old ranger in the rear, and it sucked cutting it. but it can be done.

jgh64pkup · 01-07-2010, 05:57 PM

where do i get it

dammitmitchell · 01-07-2010, 08:12 PM

you might wanna research it dude and learn how to actually cut/mold it..
it can be an expensive mess up..

tiggamonsta · 01-07-2010, 09:21 PM

Lexan, Acrylic, Plexiglass, etc. They are all pretty much the same stuff, just different manufactures. It can be cut with a table saw pretty easily if you have a high tooth blade. Getting curves and what not is probably easiest with a router, or band saw. If you get too much heat the shavings tend to melt and clump up. It is not too bad to work with, as long as you take your time. I have made several tanks for our saltwater aquarium with it. I think a 1/4 4x8 sheet was a couple hundred bucks. You could probably get by with 1/8 for the truck.

jgh64pkup · 01-07-2010, 09:50 PM

um like i said does anybody have a windshield they want to sell

tiggamonsta · 01-07-2010, 10:39 PM

If you want to drive to Austin, you can pull the cracked one out of my 64 and have it for free.

198plus · 01-07-2010, 11:32 PM

I have one on my parts truck.......I'll check it out and see what shape it's in.

nxtruck · 01-12-2010, 11:16 PM

Brian,
I have a question. Did you end up using a factory latch on your cowl hood, or do you have it fastened some other way?
