Dan, I had a very informative visit to the manufacturer of Van's canopies a 
couple weeks ago.  While Todd can do certain canopies, he is technically 
unable to provide the canopy for my airplane.  I wanted a custom color so I 
worked individually with the manufacturer.  They are located just north of 
Dayton, OH.  I talked with them at length about doing custom blown or 
pressed canopies for individual applications.  They are very accomodating 
and extremely reasonable.  They have canopy molds for all kinds of 
airplanes, including the canopy for the F-23 radar signature test.

I am assuming you used a mold to lay the plexi over to form your canopy.  If 
you still have those molds, this manufacturer just might be able to use them 
to fix you up real quick.  They always have numerous colors to choose from 
in inventory.  Matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet if you went there, 
scheduled, they would do it while you waited.

If you are interested in talking with them, or anyone else who might want a 
custom canopy, let me know off list and I'll relay there name and number.
