Just graft a Superbeetle roof on there, less Bondo required.
For a couple of days,I had the Dodge Viper windshield laying on the hood blister.It doesn't have as much plan curvature as the Camaro glass,but it is DOT rated and a much easier integration onto the truck,with the blister in place.The glass is offset on the passenger side and a separate wiper/motor unit could be installed within the blister cavity.
I drove around the property with it and there actually is very little optical funny-business.
I would do a matte black treatment underneath to reduce reflections from the white paint.
