try speedway if i remember right thats the closest got.  I was gonna do that too bught got caught up in the build time. (wanted it done for autorama 6 months) so i gave up in tht idea. You will prolly have to make the thing fight correctly too.

The last time I got that hardware it came from * Spadaro; http://www.*.com .  If it's chopped you'll need the shorter than stock side slides.  

The windshield frame was a different story.  The body I was using was a Gibbon.  The frame had to be built to fit not only because it was chopped, but the shape was "off" some.  The company that reproduces them was familiar with Gibbon so had a template.  Unfortunately when I sold the car the receipts went with it, so I don't have the company name handy.  I know they used to advertise in Hemmings so you might want to try there  www.hemmings.com .  Failing that, I've also gotten repop w/s frames from Wescott  www.wescottsauto.com , they sell parts in addition to their own bodies and are very helpful even when it's not their bod.  Also you should check with Kiwi to see if they know the name of the company/supplier, you can't be the first person who's wanted to do this.

Edit;  I just remembered I still have the box the frame came in (don't ask).  Here's the info;

I agree with Dave, I have bought a ton of stuff for my Coupe from Speedway. they have reasonable prices, fast shipping, and I have never had a problem with returning an item.

check 'em out. I just got a set of 39 LED taillights, and I am impressed
they are really bright.
just got done ordering a new set of Taylor 8mm plug wires from them.

thats due to another post, but I really don't wanna talk about it anymore :x

just think, if ya start ordering parts now, everything will be ready when the body arrives

Correct, and for most any of the other parts dealers...........well, the quality ones anyway.

Speedway probalby has the best deal on the actual windshield frame.

There is almost no chance the frame is gonna fit in the open. You will probably have to do a decent amount, or a whole lot of work to get it to fit. Which in my opinion, is worth it.

For the hinges and stuff.....
* Spadaro, Bob Drake?, Ozard Ford, Obsolete Ford?

When we put the windsheild frame in my car, we had to build the hinges out of a piano hinge. Its very tricky to get the hinge at the right angle to make it swing out.

If you have any more questions about actually installing it, i can tell pretty much everything we had to do to put on in my car. Mines not a 3 window but i think the only thing thats different from a regular passenger car is the shape of the frame, like the dimensions of it.
