Depends on what you intend to do with the car after substituting UV-stabilized plastic for glass. The front quarter windows and the big rear window are all easily made at home (in a kitchen oven for the small quarter windows) from plexiglas. Some vendors have them in stock, and plexi can be home-tinted, too. Great for weight savings in race cars but plexi side windows don't work well on street cars due to the roll-up/down against the weatherstrip fuzzies actually scratching the soft plastic.

Making them of Lexan- with a Mil-spec hard-surface coating- is NOT a home job due to the temp involved and the fine control needed, in a rather BIG oven. Many of us delete the rear quarter window glass for lightness & service convenience- cleaning the big rear window and working on the gas tank top. Without rear quarter glass, there is no aerodynamic drag increase and the fuel tank sender easily comes out the opening without trouble or bending.
