  3. You should be able to get flat safety glass cut to needed size by local glass shop.

    I had my Model A windshield done twice during it's 140k life with me, at a shop near my home. Also had one door window replaced.

    Well uh, i uh..... might know a guy. But glass is pretty much the same price wherever ya go. Get it cut within driving distance and you won't have to pay shipping ;)

  6. Flat glass should be able to be cut any glass shop, GOOGLE for the measurements...

    Price on packaging and shipping glass cost more than the glass UGH !

  7. I'll might add. Make templates of the glass that you need cut. I do it mostly because of chopped tops. But just make sure they fit in your car first. Then take them to your local glass shop, and have cut.

  10. Check the yellow pages for automotive glass, I don't know what part of Virginia you live but you should be able to find someone within 50 miles of you.

    Here in Anderson,South Carolina there is at least 3 shops that cut automotive flat safety glass. HRP
     
  11. If you need stock glass I’ve got new set for ‘28-‘29 5 window with slight brown tent or at least that’s what I was told it fit came with pile of parts pick up in Somerset, Va.
