It's time to buy the glass for my '40 coupe project. I'm looking for a referral. Any experiences good or bad about a glass suppliers. Thanks Bill H.
 
I purchase all of mine from a local glass shop. He makes it out of the proper thickness (nominal .250"), unlike Sanders. And, a ton cheaper than Sanders.
Mike Driskell sells the kits to etch the logo / date codes. Easy to do and quite reasonably priced at that.
 
For many years I have used Street Rod Glass in Riverside CA. 951-789-8870 I always get my side and rear glass tempered. They have several color choices. Excellent quality and service. Quick shipper.
 
The problem I have here getting glass cut locally is for the roll up glass and vent glass. No one can seem to put a smooth straight edge on the exposed edges.

X2 on Street Rod Glass. Did the windshield and both door windows for my '39 p/u. Quality work, fair prices, and reasonable turn around. AND he is a real hot rodder.
 
I have done it both ways.
My local glass shop was over 500 bucks for my first sedan delivery project.
My second sedan delivery project was a little over 400 from Bob's Classic Glass in Oregon.
I had a very long wait but I ordered ahead of time knowing there was a covid backlog.
I try and patronize local shops but prices in Calif are out of hand.
 
I had my glass for my 32 sedan cut and tempered by Street Rod Glass for 450.00. 4 side glass and the rear window glass.
 
It's all flat glass so any good auto glass shop can provide you with the proper sized glass. I made patterns from 1/8" Luan plywood and fitted it to the opening and gave the glass shop the patterns and they turned out great. Got the "Bugs" from Mike Driscol to complete the job.
 
I made a Fixture one time with a .012" milling blade to create my own black edged glass The blade was to cut the center safety layer. It worked but took WAAAYYYY too long.

Now I do as others have said.
 
I agree with Krylon 32 I have used the for my 40 coupe and am very happy service & quality My coupe is NOT stock

So sorry that number didn't work, I looked through my receipts but can't find the receipt and I don't want to suggest other Connecticut glass places without knowing it's the place I used. I will keep looking.
