Speed Glass on the street?
Thanx.
My windshield had been cracked for a few months and i was going to replace it with Speedglass this month when my inspection sticker went out but the wedding is kiilin me so i decided to just put glass back in it.
I was going to eventually do speedglass front and back with a pin on hatch and keep the stock side glass. But i'm thinkin other wise now. hell i'm almost as light as the super light weights and still got another 100 lbs or so i could lose with out going speedglass and pin on hatch.

It would be nice to be at that weight someday but I am handicapped by the iron motor and twin turbos, piping, FMIC etc. My hopefully realistic goal is 3000lbs and 900rwhp on pump. Should make for a spiffy power to weight ratio. 3:1

You may be able to buy the glue at an auto paint supply store. I know thats where my dad got this glue for his fenders and his windshield on his vette

Percy's doesn't think it is a good idea.
I installed it in the rear of my car and they said it is not smart to glue the glass because they have seen multiple times that the glue didn't hold. I screwed mine in with the install kit they sell.
We at RPM are doing a complete set of speedglass on a shop car. We are going to use 3/16 front glass and I think that it is DOT approved. We will probably screw the front and the rear in. The sides will bolt to a prefabbed regulator. This by the way will be a complete street car. We have a goal of 2500lbs with a driver. Should be nasty.

Theglue I use will hold the Lexan in. The problems are the front and rear windows need supports in the middle to keep the window from bowing down at speed. The side windows WILLNOT stay in the car without a frame to hold the top when the window is in the up position.
Guess Who I do have a set of glass doors ready for windows I would sell.
