Don't forget the driver training by ol les. Wow

I've been thinking about this for my F150 as well. Will 1/8" lexan bend very well? The F150 windshield has a contour to it.

1/8" will work fine Alan. I have 1/8" in mine, and the only problem I have is at nearly 140 mph on a 1/4 mile run, the center of the windshield is pushed in about 2-3"... It definitely needs a center support...

Thanks for the info Doug. I actually have a perfect windshield I can use as a pattern. Now I just have to find a source for a piece of lexan.

Thats what I did for all of my windows. And a single sheet of lexan will do both side windows, the rear glass, and the windshield. Just watch that if you get the really thin stuff (1/8th") like I run, that you will need to make supports so the windshield doesn't collapse in when mud hits it. On the 4th year with the same windshield and 2nd year since I finally put the sides and back in. Just wash it with soap and water, don't scrape off the mud.

I did 1/8 lexan on my windows and added a center support. You would be amazed how much it flexes around 140 mph.

Yeah, but us mud guys are different. Our tires may be spinning way more than 140mph, but we don't move that fast. Think Fred Flinstone

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, you might want to get the MR-10 lexan, it is scratch resistant. I got mine at the local glass place, I think it was about $80 - $90 for a 4x8 sheet.

You could always go even thinner than 1/8" on the side/rear windows for even less weight.

paid $600 for MR10 a 4x8 sheet up here

I found a local sign shop that got me the 1/8" scratch resistant stuff. Not the lexan or Marguard brands, some other off brand stuff, and it's been working fine.

Nah, it's a little place in Stafford.

Found this in the 2012 NHRA rule book;

WINDSHIELD, WINDOWS
Altereds, dragsters: Optional. Windscreen mandatory. See
General Regulations 7:7, 7:8.
Stock-bodied vehicles: Mandatory, must be in good condition and
free from cracks. May be replaced with shatterproof material,
1/8-inch-minimum thickness. OEM windshield may not be cut for
scoops, carb, etc. Windshield/window tint must meet the applicable
state requirements. Windows must be closed during races, need not
be operable.

So does this mean a lexan windshield is legal? My buddy says it must be speed glass or oem glass.
