Thread: chopped top glass

Tweet

does anyone know where i can find some one who installs glass in a chopped top 1949 ford?

Its all flat , so most glass shops will, hopefully you did not mess up the back glass , that will be harder to find

thanks! I do have the rear window. this is my first project so Ineed all the help that Ican get!

I make a pattern first from posterboard, then from 1/8" masonite. I do all the fine sanding and fit the masonite exactly to the opening just as I want the glass to fit. Don't forget to fit the seals and weatherstripping you will be using on the glass to the masonite patteren so that the final cut glass is the correct size when it is cut. And when you pick up your new glass, make sure it matches your masonite patterens exactly.... A bit of extra time spent on the patterns will make the final install on the glass an easy job.
