I am looking into designing my own car and Like the title says... I am looking for a curved windscreen that is 60 inches across at the bottom and 57 inches across at the top. I tried looking online but I couldn't find anything and thought I should at least ask someone on here before walking down to the grocery store at 12 p.m and ask every SUV, Truck, and Mini van owner if I can measure their windshield.
You could ask to measure other things, so at Walmart, hat should be completely normal.
Don't people just use C3 Corvette windshields when they design their own car?
Your best bet would probably be to talk to a windshield repair guy. If you don't like that, there are two other ways to consider:
1) design the car and have the windshield custom made to fit it. ($$$$)
2) Get a windshield at the pick and pull and design around it.
I would tend towards the second option. When I designed the car I'm building, I started by designing around the engine, radiator, and rear axle. Once I knew the engine bay length and radiator width, it became a matter of basic math.
consider getting a windshield close to what you want and working around it. I'm not the only one to use that method. http://www.automobilemag.com/green/news/0901_wooden_supercar_splinter/suspension_control_arms.html
The windshield came from a Dodge Caravan and isn't exactly what was first sketched
Also, use the pick and pull. If you try measuring windshields @ walmart, you'll look odd enough to end up on the People Of Walmart website.
Go to dealer row and measure the new/used inventory? seems a way to get a lot less weird looks.
First, change the tittle of your post to something relevant that might actually attract people who can help.
Next, make a flexible shape pattern of what you need based off of a plexi mock-up. Now go spend a day at a scrapyard and or understanding car lot seeing what fits you pattern.
You for sure are going to have to find a best fit situation and work from there.
Realize that windshield glass CAN be cut as a DIY. Side-glass can NOT be cut.

I remember the splinter supercar! Great build and I loved the wooden valve covers he used. Yeah I'm trying to find the closet fit I can to my design and I think either a truck, suv, or mini van will be my best bet seeing how they are wide and all.

Didn't think about that, thanks!

Still kinda new so I'm unsure of how to change my thread title.
Well it's a great thing I'm not gonna have to worry about side glass 
Well, it seems like I'm gonna be in at the junkyard for quite a while the next few days.

The image didn't seem to come through, and I ah... got caught up in a the V12 MG GT page. Great forum I didn't know that that site existed? Didn't think that the movement to put V8's in small British was that big of a movement? I thought that the European purists would be in uproar?
Thanks for the heads up on this!
Here is a whole forum dedicated to the desecration of MG sportscars.

The link I sent you is for a person who is making an MGB 11" wider than the factory intended, and hence needs a new windshield.
No idea what happened to the pic, but if you hunt around I am sure you can find it.
In reply to NOHOME:
Thanks I found it!
Any height requirements or will the height dictate the rake of the glass? Are those numbers firm or is there any wiggle room in there?
Why do my pictures keep going away!
?????
Here is another option if you have more $$$ than talent or time.
