I remember when a person could purchase stainless steel CJ5 body, fend
ers and hood in the Philippines. Never saw the parts in person.
By the way "polycarbonate" is the term for generic LEXAN, the plastic they use to make bullet-proof windows (when it's thick enough).
Transparent LEXAN is not especially UV resistant. This is precisely why solar panel manufacturers still use glass and not plastic.
Look st the headlight lenses of beater 1985 Ford pickup trucks and my point will illustrate itself. I checked with General Electric and no they do not offer a UV proof transparent LEXAN polycarbonate.
