Not that this really answers your question, but a friend of mine who runs in the local Hot Rod circles told me a story...
He used to, on occasion, have small runs of custom windshields made in Mexico for certain years of Ford Trucks. He still has one on his little hot rod truck and only has one spare left (rocks on the highway, you know.) They were somewhere in the neighborhood of under $50 each to have them made.
Sometime after the last order he and his partner in business placed, PPG bought the little shop in Mexico and now they can still have these windshields made, but they would cost in the neighborhood of $250 each with a 250 piece minimum order.
Got $62,500 burning a hole in your pocket? You might could have a few made. Who knows? You could market them for somewhere around $500 each and double your money!:~)
Seriously. This could be done if someone has the disposable cash and the desire to make some money over time. After all, at a $500 each sale price, you would only have to sell 125 to recoup all your initial investment!~:) Surely there are 125 Bradleys out there that are in need of some glass...
