    I am looking for input on gl*** for my '34 project.
    I used Chris Blattie and Bob's Cl***ic Gl*** in the past and both are now unstisfactory.
    Any suggestions for quality work are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    And, if you don't have a pattern yet, make sure to use Masonite instead of cardboard.

    X2 on a local gl*** house. But if you don't have one I used this guy for the windshield and side windows on my '39 p/u. Totally satisfied with his work and price and he does ship.

    Yeah they do. I bought locally for my T coupe. Windshield, 2 door windows, 2 quarter windows, and rear gl***. Windshield installed in frame. Door riser channels installed on door windows. $180.00 Can't beat that.

    If you're not satisfied with the work of a few shops, maybe it's time to learn how to do it yourself, and get the necessary equipment. Should be a fun learning experience.

    I use Bobs Cl***ic Auto Gl*** and will buy from him again and again. Always been great.

    Don't know where you are, but DO NOT, under ANY cir***stances, use Vintage Gl***, Lawrenceville, GA! Slow, cut wrong, forever to re-do, lots of hollow promises, still didn't fit!

    I learned the following from having to go it alone and bad experience from Vintage Gl***.
    Maybe you can benefit.

    Install the vertical felts temporarily, and cut a Masonite or Luan pattern that you can raise and lower by hand. Trim or sand edges for a perfect fit. One side CAN vary from the other.
    Find a local or nearby gl*** shop who does flat, laminated plate. It can be edge sanded for a perfect fit. If you or the gl*** guy insists on tempered, make sure it matches your pattern dead nuts. It can't be edge sanded.

    Jim's Gl*** in Livermore has done most of my gl*** pieces I needed.
