tcoupekyle:
Thanks Lynn I really like that idea with the drill. Any advice on bending?

Paul New:
Bending it will just bend to the shape needed it is very flexible

JEFF/21C:
 I've used polycarbonate LEXAN brand on my late model for the wing bent it in a brake drilled it never cracked also window wings on a cobra kit car cut on a band saw drilled for brackets it's not the same stuff as plexiglass which will crack and break but people have heated it to form and use washers when screwing it in place

lake_harley:
+1 on LEXAN/polycarbonate. I also would avoid plexiglass. Seems brittle. Drilling the holes, I would suggest drilling a bit oversize for the small machine screw or whatever your fastener might be. That allows for a bit of wiggle and expansion without stressing the hole. And yes, use washers to spread the clamping of the fastener.

Post a photo when you're finished!

I semi cheated on mine. I did aluminum with engine turning finish. Figured cheaper and heck I look over it anyway. I wanted to combine new with old and do a canopy style, but my financial advisor was against it.LOL
