Today we're going to show how to make your own windshield - whatever shape and size. Crazy, right? The biggest issue when chopping a roof is the glass situation. We really feel that this method we're about to show will change the game for all customizers who encounter the same issue 🔥

I love your process and how you sort of figure things out as you go. I'm ADHD and I find myself explaining to people why I think out loud so much while I'm working on something. It seems to be the only way I can focus on what I'm trying to figure out without thinking about ten other things at the same time! I tend to overthink myself into a state of motivational paralysis. Nothing gets done! I'm certainly not implying you have some sort of mental condition, I'm just saying it's inspiring to see that someone who's process is similar to mine can be so accomplished at what they do. Thank you for the video.

The rear window from the side looks splendid. My brother works in a glass shop. He turned me on to non-scratch Lexan. I've used it in construction and on race cars. Way better than Plexi. And... you can bend it in a sheet metal brake.

When it comes to creativity there are no hard-and-fast rules only general theories and principles. Even those are meant to the work with and applied. This is what you do so well. I could say you think outside the box but that really wouldn't be quite as descriptive and accurate of a description of your talent and just simply going after it!

Never heard of clear vinyl wrap, but it sounds perfect for this and other disiplines. My buddies who build airplanes (homebuilts) will love this. Even the kitbuilders who receive preformed windscreens could wrap and protect these parts. Over time, plexiglass grazes and fades and considerable effort is spent polishing so one can see where he/she is going. Excellent video!

I use a very similar method, made a template and found a place where they use regular glass to make the window, then I use vinyl wrap on the inside for safety. The price on the glass was under the price of the vinyl, and works like a charm. Chad, follow your flow, it's great !!

@jamessnell105 2 жыл бұрын
I totally agree that this is a far superior way to create a custom windshield. Although I appreciate the effort and ingenuity I believe that the exterior vinyl wrap is not the solution for anything other than a show car. It won’t be safe and probably won’t be legal. It would be helpful if you would share the name of the shop that you found.

Chad, sorry this so late just ran across this channel. Your excitement at overcoming your insecurities is addictive. Personal wins in your own mind are the greatest satisfaction I believe exist. I am so much reminded of myself watching you on KZfaq trying out whatever grows in your imagination! I don't build the same type of projects as you but the procedures are the same for finding what you love to do. I have watched you on Discovery but there's too much added drama for my taste on that show. Your wonderful partner knows you so well it's a real pleasure to know how much you respect and appreciate her and her instinctive camera work is exceptional too. I hope you find great success with this medium. Keep at please!

I’m impressed. We have a mint low mileage 1991 Nissan that our parents bought new. My sister has it as a second car. One day she left it outside in the high rise outside lot. She theorizes that someone dropped something off one of the many balconies in her building. Whatever it was the rear window shattered. She called a number of glass places and they all claim a Nissan Stanza window is not available anymore unless salvaged from a junk car. Apparently none of the Nissans are junk. I have not been able to find a rear glass let alone get it out without breaking it. I may just try your method or similar to fill that void in the rear of the car. Thanks for the great videos. Ps plexiglass is very expensive a places like Ace, Home Depot and Lowes. Ps2 will SAR plexiglass resist windshield wiper scratches.
