Projects Windshield cutting

I have a 55 ford fairlane and I chopped the top 4" and now I have a new piece of glass 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 glass replaced by Robert Valentine @ Dirty Leg Inc. He cuts his own glass, 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 glass how to laminated" on YouTube

 

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

I've never chopped anything or cut any glass, 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.

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
