Well, some turd passed me today in a NO pass zone and I got the ole rock in the corner of the windshield on the 33 coupe... It's like a gun shot it... My question is can a local glass company make me a new windshield, or can someone recommend a windshield for a Minnoti 1933 Ford coupe... Thanks!

Posted by gman0046  -  08/09/2008 07:32 PM Should be no problem for any decent glass company that does custom work. It's flat glass. gman0046 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Anchorage, Kentucky   Posted by jsrodder  -  08/09/2008 07:43 PM A good glass Co. Should be able to make a new in no time. If the galss is not cracked out they should be able to do a fill on a glass chip and repair it. rockymountainrods.com [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Aztec, New Mexico   Posted by My_33  -  08/09/2008 08:27 PM Thanks guys, it's a pretty good lick in the top pasenger corner like shot with a bb gun, it's not a chip... I'm going to keep it out of the sun until I can get someone (glass shop) to look at it... Again thanks!! My_33 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Dayton, Texas   Posted by cr55  -  08/10/2008 08:17 AM I've seen some pretty decent glass repairs done on chips. Any glass company should be able to cut a new piece. I had a guy come to my garage and cut most of the glass for my 37 chevy right there.......CR I thought that I knew it all , but..

No big deal on yours either- It's flat glass Don [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Prescott, Arizona Charter Member since October 2001   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  08/10/2008 12:43 PM most likely set in butyl so it can be cut out and may have s10 trim on it. should have no problems. now can they do it without screwing up your car ??? dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by 31tudor  -  08/11/2008 02:24 PM Had my Model A windshield done in green tinted glass just a few weeks ago. I took the frame to them, they supplied the gasket and installed it in the windshield frame for just over $100. A little pricey but they did a really nice job and didn't scratch anything so it was worth it!

A couple guys at work says it works 17.00 bucks... I figure it can't hurt to try it... My_33 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Dayton, Texas   Posted by SAM1951  -  08/12/2008 10:02 AM get a pro to do it.if your kit fails you have to replace glass or live with it SAM1951 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MIDDLESVILLE, Alabama   Posted by raf  -  08/12/2008 10:24 AM I have a few small nicks on my windsheild of my 40 Ford. Can these be polished out ? Any thing I can buy to remove these? raf [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Arlington Heights, Illinois   Posted by 1carguy  -  08/12/2008 11:08 AM FAF - If you can feel a nick or scratch in the glass with your finger nail, it can not be polished out. There is no product out there that can help chips in glass. The glass repair guys can drill and inject resin into stars but that's about it. 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California   Posted by da34guy  -  08/12/2008 12:25 PM Bite the bullet. Spend the 100 bucks or so, why try a band-aid????? Don [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Prescott, Arizona Charter Member since October 2001
