Ok i have a 32 3 window coupe i am building.

I think Wescott's still sell all the pieces for the opening windshield.

See the info I posted for you on RRT.

Oh hell, I'll cut and paste it here too in case anyone else finds it useful.

The last time I got that hardware it came from Dick Spadaro; http://www.dickspadaro.com . If it's chopped you'll need the shorter than stock side slides.

The windshield frame was a different story. The body I was using was a Gibbon. The frame had to be built to fit not only because it was chopped, but the shape was "off" some. The company that reproduces them was familiar with Gibbon so had a template. Unfortunately when I sold the car the receipts went with it, so I don't have the company name handy. I know they used to advertise in Hemmings so you might want to try there www.hemmings.com . Failing that, I've also gotten repop w/s frames from Wescott www.wescottsauto.com , they sell parts in addition to their own bodies and are very helpful even when it's not their bod. Also you should check with Kiwi to see if they know the name of the company/supplier, you can't be the first person who's wanted to do this.

Edit; I just remembered I still have the box the frame came in (don't ask). Here's the info;
