Where can I get some plastic or plexiglass side windows that stick in the holes in the doors. Thanks!

The link above leads to Fibersteel, but I think their Sliding/side windows will not fit a replica. You might call Henry Reisner at Intermeccanica for a possible source. The Vintage side windows may fit but I would call Kirk (owner) before ordering them. Or, call John Steele at JPS, he probably knows what fits and has good prices on parts.

You can build your own custom fit Plexiglass side windows. Look for David Salvato or Gordon Nichols e-mail address via Search. Both have fabricated their own from materials available from Home Depot.

Ken,

Made some stiff Cardborad models and then made the final "Side Curtins" from Lexon. Pretty simple. After final fitting; went to Auto Trim Shop & pick-up some windor weather striping to provide a "Better Seal."

Good Luck,

Jack

Russ Rodriguez at Fibersteel said that the new hard plastic versions are in the works, but are not yet offered for sale.

Yeah, Russ has been saying that for about 50 years. I suggest you don't wait for his product. Make them yourself or look elsewhere!

Russ has promised "any day now" since I joined this forum in 2001. Don't hold your breath.
