Anyone have some other options for coupe side windows? FFR seems reluctant or unable to supply them. I live in the Northwest, so windows are kinda mandatory. Anyone maybe have manufacturing drawings for a set?

Assume you're talking about the Gen 3 Coupe? These? http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/60371-gen-3-type-65-coupe-side-window-components/. They are showing as out of stock, even though I think that info isn't always 100% right on their catalog pages. If they are out of stock, understand why they may not be able to immediately supply them. Reluctant? Not likely. Not sure where that's coming from. They are still in start-up mode with short staff etc., so things can be delayed. You should however be able to get some kind of promise date once ordered. The setup isn't cheap, but it's pretty extensive. Between the steel frames, acrylic pieces, gasket, etc. would be challenging to duplicate IMO. I doubt anyone has mfg drawings. Not something that is normally released for obvious reasons.

There are options for roll-up windows. https://www.formacars.com/ has shown some prototypes. Look nice but not cheap. Gordon Levy has also said he has something. Or several have fabricated their own. Not a small exercise though.

I purchased some in the beginning of this year but still waiting on the Plexiglas. No answer to when I will be getting it either. There are no instructions that I can find. I just asked them to send me a pictures and hope I can work from that.

I received instructions for the Gen 3 side windows in a build manual update. File name Gen3-Coupe-manual-rev-4G-update. I didn't ask for it. Came sometime after my kit was delivered. Maybe they could send that to you? Or maybe it's included in later versions of the build manual. FWIW, documented my experience putting them together in my build thread. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?26630-Edwardb%92s-Gen-3-Type-65-Coyote-Coupe-59-Build-Complete-and-Graduated&p=362057&viewfull=1#post362057
