    Our windshield cost us $320.00. That's including the price to install it and tax. The glass company also told us the price for Maverick windshields would be going up because they are getting harder to come by. Don't know how true that is, but that's what they told us.

    Is that a tinted windshield? I tried in vain to find a clear one back when I redid the Sprint and had to settle on tinted. Anybody ever find a sorce for clear, let me know.

    I just called the glass shop, he told me that all their glass comes tinted now and that he would have to special order a clear glass and not to sure if he could even get it if he did.

    I just put a new one in the 71 I'm building right now. My cost was only $130 for the glass but I do get a pretty good deal since I buy 3 or 4 windshields from these guys every week. This is a shaded windshield which is what I wanted. I've got to take some photos this weekend and show you guys my progress. I took my car to Cruisin The Coast last week and had a great time. I think there was about 5300 registered cars there this year.
