do you know how to weld and have something to weld with? http://www.corvette-restoration.com/...upper-corners/ this is more fabbing the pieces than purchasing them, but cutting pieces to fit the frame is much the same. did you take diagonal measurements-lots of them before cutting into the windshield frame? if not, how do you know the windshield will fit when you are done? and the air gaps between the pieces have to be gone before welding. and no sealer until welding is done.

Yes. I think that is the way to go, rather than rely solely on measurements from the old one. Both should be considered, but the main goal is to have the windshield and trim fit. I'll use the new glass to help align everything before making any welds.
