Yes I did, to a mate. That's why I'm trying to get the screen done before he picks it up.

There is another option but it's not a cheap one... might be time to make a mould and get a screen made.

I probably would if it was mine for keeps.
$4000 = 28 screens, I recon I'd get one rite before I used that many.

I recon you're right too! i thought it was around half that to get made. Clearly not!

back when i did the chopped ute (2004)
i had 3 different companies quote me to make a new screen
the cheapest back then was $5200
for the first one and $1000 each there after
this was provided i supplied the mould
now the mould needs to be in metal and able to withstand an incredible amount of heat as it goes into the furnace when the glass is shaped
any imperfections in the metal will show in the glass
now remember that fb / ek screens have a shape from top to bottom and from left to right
so the moulds are a hell of a lot of work
i did make and still have metal moulds for the rear corners of the back windows of my ute
i will do a tech on how i went around it to show people contemplating the same process
good luck trev
see you over here in sunny perth at the nats

Can't wait Paul.

Well done Trev. Now don't touch it, bump it, or drive it!

Or speak to loudly around it.
