Thanks everyone for the replies!
I will not build this 1:1. It is meant as a design experiment, assuming an established company wanted to take it on. This means they would have the $$$ to make a new windshield. That said I'm going to have to do some work to make the thing feasible. Since glass can only really bend one way at a time for our purposes it'll take a little bit of doing to get that to work out.
The powerplant would probably be a front mounted 3 cylinder diesel with FWD.
Kach you're welcome to come see the stuff and have a talk. CCS has a Tim Hortons inside the building if you want to do lunch
Speedglass may be worth looking into. Is it basically plexi?
Oh, did I mention we also have an original EV1 displayed on campus?
