What kind of glass do the Avenger and Valkyrie use?

From Lance Cory:

Terry, here is information I believe is correct concerning Avenger glass. Rear glass is 65 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. Windshield is 65-69 Corvair Monza or Corsa. Side windows, that is tougher. Some people just use Plexiglass (acrylic - shatters) or Lexan (polycarbonate - impact resistant). Originally there were two other choices. One was a single piece side window which Fiberfab supplied, it was custom glass and no one seems to know what happened to the original molds. The other way is a window/windwing combo, using a windwing from a 65 Mustang in combination with a 66 Ford LTD door glass and a regulator from a Karman Ghia. The wind wing will have to be reshaped somewhat at the top corner. There is another alternative which comes close, use a side window from an early Mazda RX-7.  A little window reshapeing or Fiberglas work might make this a workable solution. Then again, some people just leave the windows out and drive in nice weather.
