Anyone know of a good local source for Lexan sheets? I would prefer to not have to mail order if I can help from it.

Enough to build a pair of windows like these:

I would like to use my Alfa Giulia Sprint GT on the road occasionally, but I've removed the windows. However, the competition GTAs had these removable sliding Perspex windows, and they comply to FIA Appendix K for Historic Rally use. However, they are next to impossible to come by, so I figure that I can just make a set. These would also make the Alfa legal for running at Edgewater or Tristate.

I'll measure this evening to see just how much I need, but as far as thickness, thinner is better. That's part of the reason I would like to buy locally...get a better idea as far as how rigid various thicknesses are.

Gene - if you can't get what you need at Lowe's give me a shout, I have a pretty decent local hook-up.
