the 1984 camero rear window is a good idea, only problem is that the camero is 72 inches wide, which is 6 inches more wide than the miata; since we are using the A-arms/differential etc that would mean i would need to get longer CV joints which can be pricey; do you know of a similar rear window thats made for a 66 inch wide car? If i used the insight front windshield i would be at 66.7 wide instead so between 66 and 67 would be good. 68 might be pushing the CV joint issue.
also a 3000 dollar windshield is out of the question - budget is not that big.
The Dodge Viper has as good a windshield as we're likely to run across.About $600.Check the dimensions.
