Kurt,
No, I didn't read any books. I talked to several people experienced in glass work, and picked up tips from them, as well as watching some of the weekly TV car shows like Muscle Car or the customizing shows that would occasionally get into some glass work. The guy who used to be on here with the interior shop in Nebraska, Recovery Room, gave me tips on using foam for forms for things like consoles or stand alone stuff. Other than that it was just jumping in and learning by doing.

Roger i feel your pain.. See how our body's came from the same place it no wonder we had some of the same problems... I ended up making a bunch of little cuts in mine to bend and form it to the shape of the rear window opening... at one point i had to cut it apart to move one corner around because i didn't like to see it when you looked through the rear window... a lot of glass work and in and outs but it came out nice.. I also did a lot of glass work on the side window molding to make them fit like i wanted... glassed an edge that went down in the door so when you looked down in the door from the outside you couldn't see down in the door..
