How do you make curved windshields?

I have just bought a vintage Revell 57 chevy kit, online. I didnt realize untill the model got to my house that its missing all the clear parts!!! (thats the disadvantage to buying a model online)

The quarter glass, light lenses, and vent windows are easy for me to make or find a replacement for, but how would you make the curved windsheid and back glass?

I have pelnty of clear flexible plastic and I was wondering if i cut a piece to the size I need, and  carefulyl heat the clear plastic while its clamped in place on the model, would that make the shape I need for the windshield?
