NEW PROJECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get the windshield?

Hi tok4321,



No! The windshield for the GT2 was proprietary and is no longer manufactured! They have become very rare and difficult to find.

The 63' - 65' Corvette Coupe windshield was used on only the GT's and will not fit the GT2.

Gary Hammond,

Could I possibly get a glass shop to make me one or get a custom plexiglass one made?

Simply put....no.

A glass shop can't make one and a plexiglass windshield is likely illegal (if you could get one done).

A GT2 without a good windshield is a tough project to complete.

windshield aside, what else can any body tell me about the car? i know finding a windshield is going to be difficult but im 19 and im pretty stubborn about things like this. ive got a bug being delivered sunday. it needs pans and a few odds and ends here but its got a bunch of good parts on it i can sell to make some money back. i would love to put a mazda rotary engine in it, what does anybody know about that? should i be weary of that? should i avoid it all together? where can i find a free build manual for it?

Oh how I remember being 19 and hating to listen to advice......

The motor won't make a difference until you get a windshield. Once you get a windshield blow all the money you got on it. Until then it would be much better for you just to send your extra money to me.

As it has been said there is no glass to be had. In the rare occasion it comes up for sale you can expect to pay $500 or more for the windshield. The rest of the windows and interior pieces you can find used by checking this forum, ebay, craigslist etc.

Where can I find a free download of the build manual?

Hi,

My Bradley GT and GTII CDs hold files of the complete, original assembly and wiring manuals, and any official updates. The GT CD also holds roughly 38 years and 645 thousand actual miles worth of useful information.

Ordering is easy. Just send $35 through PayPal to jefftroy@aol.com.

If you don't use PayPal, you can send $35 by check or money order to:

Jeff Troy
759 New Holland Ave.
Lancaster PA 17602

Be sure to state whether you need the GT or the GTII CD. The cars – and the manuals -- are very different.

One of the many advantages of the CD over an original printed manual is that you can take the pages you need out to the shop and not have to worry about dogging them with oil, grease or other shop debris. If you ruin a page, you can just print another.

One of my CDs just may be the best money you can spend on your car. I'm sure that anyone who has one -- and most owners do -- will tell you that it's extremely helpful.

Thanks and warmest regards,

There have been people in the past who used the windshield from another car. The story was on the now defunct (I think) GTII website. I have no clue but the 300ZX is what is popping into my head. It was close. Close enough to allow the body to be modified to match the not quite right windshield. You say you are stubborn... this will prove it. Start by making a cardboard template, then start test fitting to various cars to find a car that is close. Think of it as one of the "Wonders of Fiberglass".

Nope, still on the long list to do.
