Any ideas for making large holes????? need help...
You might look into one of those step bits, though I have not seen them go to 2"

As for the rear glass, custom made is going to be very expensive. Many people would use lexan or speed glass. http://www.percyshp.com/SpeedGlass.html

Have you considered adapting an original big window to avoid the custom glass expense?
