Need a glass guy in the midwest

I am currently looking for a good gl*** guy in the midwest that knows old cars and more than just gl***. I have a chopped 49 Plymoutht that is now a hardtop. Need to do the front and rear gl*** and figure out how to make the door gl*** work. I am located in Ottumwa Iowa and willing to travel some if i find the right guy.

Know of anyone????

Thanks
matt

 

well, i use a guy called "little Eddie" out of Newport,MN he's awesome,great service and turn around..try uh..Ed's Twin City Rod and Custom.. should be in the phone book.Ed is "little eddie's" dad been in the biz for a long time here..

 

In Illinois, the place that comes up the most often in conversation is Edgar County Auto Gl***, 323 N. Main Street, Paris, IL 61944. His phone number is 217-463-1477. Paris is about 165 miles south of Chicago and near the Indiana border. He'll have my 48 Chevy truck pretty soon.

 

Thanks guys. I need someone that can fab and work metal as well as gl***. Or can show me what i need to do.

 

I found most of the good gl*** guys are dead or retired in my area /dallas/ Ended up ordering out of cal. check out the ones advertized in the hot rod books ,rod & custom etc. You will be amazed at what they can do.

The side gl*** will need a channel, or "frame" (usually chromed) that is a press fit on the gl*** (with a cloth gl*** tape as a cushion). I can fabricate the channel if you have a shape pattern (usually a curve shape where the front & rear gl*** meet). Some guys just have the rear gl*** slide into a track. To make the rear window go up and down can require some work, but very do able.

Might be hard to find a gl*** guy that can make the channel, but not impossible. Probably a good bet to have the channel (fit to a wood pattern of the gl***) and have it working in the car, before the plating and gl*** installation process.

Send me a pm if you can't find what you need. Stu
