(a)It would make your glass guys job a whole lot easier.
(b)It would also help keep costs down as he(the glass guy) wouldn't have to make templates.

Then take it to a local glass guy. you will save a lot of $$. Find one of your local hotrod people and ask who does there's. good luck | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | Glass kits seem to go pretty cheap on ebay. I would start there. Even after shipping, the glass is usaully cheaper than having a local glass shop cut it. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | .... I don't agree or disagree with anyone. I just always say "do the numbers". For me on my 52 Panel it was less costly to get them done locally at a place thats been in business for years. IF you have a problem it most definitely be cheaper dealing with a local guy than shipping stuff back and forth.
Do the numbers on your particular situation. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | I'm sticking with the little guy,it takes the 'shipping' out the equation.
I've seen how stuff gets 'handled' in some of these parcel distribution centres!
Plus.... you get to support one of your local businesses.

I wouldn't think a local place could come close to this price, even after shipping. I would like to support local buisness as well. Maybe bring a printout of this listing to the local glass guy and see if he can beat the price. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 49 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 49 | Thanks for the ideas, I do have the glass in the truck to use as a template. Doing a frame off resto/rod and want new glass, everything else is new or rebuilt and a door glass is cracked. thanks | | |
