Projects Windshield cutting

I have a 55 ford fairlane and I chopped the top 4" and now I have a new piece of gl*** for the front and I need some one to cut it! I'm in the Houston area! So if anyone can held?

I had all the gl*** replaced by Robert Valentine @ Dirty Leg Inc. He cuts his own gl***, you can look him up on Facebook.

 

One of my buddies used to do his own with a sandblaster and lots of duct tape. He would mask off the whole windshield except the cut line and start blasting. I never got to see him do it, but it worked, although he said it was a slow process.

 

Watch "Cut windshield chop top custom auto gl*** how to laminated" on YouTube

 

uh oh.... I think I would have had the gl*** cut and chopped the car to fit.

I've never chopped anything or cut any gl***, but it just seems like success would be more likely that way.

 

You can always do it yourself with one of those Home Depot tile cutting saws. No I have never done it but have seen it done. For the radius cuts just nibble your way around the corner.

 

x2 - my '54 Chevy lowered windshield and rear window down into body

 

Probably a whole lot easier than the back window.

 

@Jim Stabe from San Diego here on the HAMB modified an OT MGB with Corvette running gear. He posted some really good info about cutting down a windshield from an Impala IIRC. I'm sure its gone since it was OT but he posted some info on it on a British Forum. Might be worth searching for.

Call some of the local rod shops, shouldn't be hard to find someone but understand you may go through a few windshields
