I believe it should, transparent/candy is what I have used. Couple of hints: use masking tape on the outside, make sure the inside is cleaned w/o dust, and if possible lay the window flat (reduces runs).

If you want to keep it authentic, remember that the windshields weren't allowed to be tinted per NHRA rules. Usually the side windows were just replaced with colored plexiglass.

Make it easy on yourself and buy some of this.

I think you'd be happier with the results if you just used colored clear plastic sheet from notebook covers, readily available in office-supply stores.

EDIT: Guthmiller beat me to it.

Any of Tamiya’s colored transparent acrylics will work as well.
