    custom glass

     



    I am trying to find a glass shop in middle Tennessee that would be able to cut a curved windshield for a 3 in. chop job. I am new to this state and have'nt met many rodders yet, but I appears that most rods here are early vehicles with flat glass. The few shops that I have found that are willing to cut flat glass won't cut the curved windshields. Please send me in the right direction.I am willing to travel anywhere between Knoxville, Chattanooga,or Nashville. thanks again fastr413

    almost any glass shop will not gaurentee a cut, basicly there not responsible when it breaks because on glass like this, it's a good possibility. find a way to lay the glass back to make up the 3", this is normally how it is done.
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone

    There should be a Safe-T-Lite windshield company in Knoxsville- they make 'em to order.
    Maybe it was Nashville...I forget- I haven't been in Tenn. for a while.
