    Apparently there is a place in Arizona that can supply gl*** for vintage cars... Does anyone have the name?

    Thanks!

    If you can find an old gl*** shop, they may still have all the old patterns, if it's flat gl*** you are needing..

    I have yet to find a gl*** shop that cannot do flat gl*** if that's what you are looking for. If it's for your TR6 you might have to find a place like Moss that specializes in British cars.

    I've used Street Rod Gl*** in Riverside CA. 951-789-8870 for gl*** on at least 6-7 deuces. Perfect fit every time. I also like them because I can have the side and rear gl*** tempered for the same price as laminated..

    I can cut flat gl***, unless you want it in one piece and to fit your application.:)

    YOU do not go to that shop that says they will change your windshield in your driveway. You go to that old third generation run shop that is still in it's old building in the old business area of town (unless they moved) that is a full service gl*** shop. If they don't have patterns for older gl*** they can make them and if you have old samples that came with your car so much the better. You might check with Spinner Auto Gl*** as they cut gl*** for heavy equipment and trucks.

    If it's rare vintage gl*** in AZ. It might be from Valley Auto Parts. Report back if you get a a quote for gl*** so we can compare to new gl***.

    This is a timely post. I contacted a local shop about replacing a single piece of gl***. It currently has old plate gl*** and wanted to replace with safety gl***. No patterns but a simple match or trace from the old gl*** was $500. I’ll be looking into some of these suggestions above.

    I've also used this supplier and give them a great recommendation. Everything comes delivered in well packaged foam.

    I just had a cement patio poured, one of my oldest buddies owns a concrete company and came and quoted it. I told him go ahead. Ended up a schedule issue and he couldn't do it so I called another guy.

    Other guy was $500 cheaper, lol....

    Had the side and quarter windows made by them for my 37 Plymouth. They were beautiful.
