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 or 66 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. front glass is 65-69 Corvair Monza or Corsa. Side windows, that is tougher. Some people just use Plexiglass or Lexan. 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.

7/14/2002 Adding to Lance's info:
One piece ( OEM Style) side windows can be had again. They're not cheap, (what do you expect for custom made windows eh?) but they are tempered auto glass, curved and shaped for the Avenger/Valkyrie. Details soon. Your webmaster - Terry
Body parts. The molds are said to exist, I'm attempting to track this down. If I am succesful, and the owner of the molds will make parts, I'll put it here. Sometimes you just might have to fashion you own, pull a plug from an intact car, or but a trasher and gut it for what you need.
