It seems to be a lost art. None of the mainline glass people seem to be interested. I am in the process of redoing my doors. I carried my framed door glass and vent window glass into a shop. The owner looked and seemed to struggle with the idea of doing them. He finally offered to do them for $150.00 if I would leave them with him for several days. I didn't. :hammering:

Call the South Austin Speed Shop for suggestions. They should know of someone who works glass. Do not expect it to be cheap though. I had quotes of $45 just to install the glass in my vent windows.
Also, out in Bastrop is the Tint Shop. They should also be able to steer you to someone if they can't do it themselves. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,139 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,139 | I just had this email in my box this morning: Hi John and Peggy, I recently had a little trouble finding someone to cut glass for my 50 Burb. After searching all over trying to find someone with patterns I came across this guy-
http://www.classicflatglass.com/
I called him and he has over 10k classic glass patterns including all the Chevy and GMC trucks from 1932 on. He called me about a week after I ordered all the side and door glass for the burb and said it was done. Just thought it may be a good link to ad to the site.
