Glass Price Shock

[Mike in AZ]

Got quote today from OEM Glass for my '65 Roadster --I must admit I was stunned. I've kept up with pricing on most restoration commodities, but I was really unprepared for the prospect of paying $2000.

Question for you out there: are there any other reputable other ?? (the restoration is to Top Flite standards.) Or does Dale enjoy the pricing position of being the only game in town?

Re: Glass Price Shock

I just got some vent windows yesterday from ALL AUTO GLass. They look excellent, and about half the price of OEM. Look on the website, or I can find you the 800 number if you need.

I searched for the All Auto Glass website and couldn't find it. I too am in need of some vent window glass for my 67 roadster. Any help would be appreciated with either the website URL or their 800 number.

Thanks,

Re: Glass Price Shock

i believe you are looking for Auto City Classic ph# 612-444-5880 they will date code for you ask for John Ijust purchased a windshield and received very promptly they are reasonable also They advertize in HMN,and Corvette Fever. Does any one know where i can buy an etching kit to date code my side glass? All glass is new and seems like a real waste to replace just for date coding several yearsa ago there was a vendor who sold the date code etching kits but i lost touch with him. would appreciate any help

Auto City Classic

Yes, it was actually Auto City Classic. They are somehow affiliated w. all auto glass, and do all of their antiques now. They even gave me a small discount for my telling them I saw them on the internet. I would definitely give them the rest of my glass business.

Re: Glass Price Shock

Dear Joel,

Look in the yellow pages for an autglass company that does vin etching. It is very simple...they make a simple stencil with the "JC" dates etc. You place it in the correct area of the logo. They then use acid paste then sits over the stencil/glass for a minute. They wipe it off and you have replicated the factory sandblasting with acid!
