There are about eight of us on the san jacinto v kings, vectors, and a viper or two. I have had no luck coming up with something that matches what pipcorn produced. Went to a glass shop and was digging in there catalog, very proud of what they have. Would like to know how you bent it around, I can do the jig. I also have some aluminum unistrut and 1inch conduit. I thought I would start with that and see how it went first. How many winter nationals have you been to? We nave made the past three. The drags at dso they got us on video, just riding by but they got us. And the wind shield, did you make that or is it something that you fixed? And check out plumb crazy fiberglass, his vector is very nice! Down here we call bu ba tne president, v king with a 260. If you want to be president you have to pass him. " he is over a 100mph" lol

I filled in my broken windshield with spray foam and bondo then spray glue and tin foil then several layers of mat and cloth. . Tin foil is a great release agent. The plexi glass will attach to resin thru wax.
Coty,.. I think a fiberglass frame would be the only way to recreate the original. Quick,...pull a mold off yours. LOL
The problem is,.......the time it takes to make a mold, make the part, and TRY to make minimum wage for your time,.... not enough people want to spend the money to make it worth your time.
That's how/ why I learned fiberglass. Out of necessity.
My windscreen HAD to look just like the original so the back side is as smooth and shiny as the front. It takes time but is worth it in the end....

LOL!!
I think you got the Virage/ 280 in my sig. confused with the Viper/ 200 I had in my sig. previously.
The Viper has a carb 2.5 200....and that was fast enough for me.. Now lives in Georgia.
I will be working on the Virages' splashwell delete/ modification Jan 17-26 while in Washington.
Don't want to hi-jack this thread but will post on the progress in another thread when we get back.
I did look around for extruded frame rail material and never found any. I think Howard had them made.

If you look at these pictures, it's pretty complex considering the retaining clips that grip the internal ribs.
