I had a bit of an oh crap moment this morning. A deer jumped out of the woods and ran in front of me too close to avoid. It hit hard on the front left corner of my CMC/Fiberfab Californian, slid diagonally over the hood and slammed the windshield right of center. I expected it to collapse the windshield frame and land in the passenger cabin with my nephew and I, but the brackets held nicely and it slid off into the grass on the side of the road, where it died of its injuries.
Nobody was injured and my declared value insurance policy will hopefully cover the repair costs, which may be pricey thanks to the fresh gouges and stress cracks in the fiberglass. I've been searching for repair parts, but not having much luck with the CMC amber glass front turn signal lens, bezel, and horn grill assembly. The parts sold by Vintage Speedster Parts, Sierra Madre, and even on eBay are either original beehives or reproductions thereof, while the CMC parts are shaped more like a thimble. Any idea where I can find these, either used or NOS?
I also have a question on sourcing the windshield glass. I'm assuming mine is the original shipped by CMC/Fiberfab. Will the glass supplied by Vintage Speedster Parts fit, or do i need to be looking elsewhere, and if so where?
