The glass is missing in the front window of my newly purchased '61 Bambi and the back window is hazy plexiglass. The windows are flat and rectangular - no special curves or shapes. I have searched the forums and found recommendations for regular glass, lexan, and tempered glass for replacing windows. What are the pros and cons for each type?
Glass is probably the best all around. If you don't have a rock guard to cover the front window Plexiglass is a good choice as it won't brake if a rock hits it. Well most of the time.

There are a couple of places on the internet that will make tempered glass of any shape, size, and specification and send it to you for a reasonable price, either with a DOT safety brand or without as you wish. That's what I'd do.
Thanks for the replies. I think that I will go with tempered glass. Are there any problems using tempered glass on windows that open and close? I also need to replace some of the jalousie windows on the door - any problems with tempered glass there?
