    1940 Ford door glass

     



    I am in the process of installing power windows and other mechanical parts in my 1940 Ford deluxe coupe doors. I bought a project with no glass. Does anyone have the width of the door glass (I do have wind wing glass) so that I can make sure I have the glass shop cut it the right width. The vertical mesurement I will have to figure out with the power window system.
    I am also looking for patterns for the front, rear, and quarter windows. Thanks for any help. Attached is a picture of door where it is today. Brian

    Brian, here's a guy in Oregon who sells complete glass kits for those cars at a pretty reasonable price. Check him out... http://bobsclassicautoglass.com/flat_glass.html

    I make templates out of posterboard then transfer them to masonite. Cut out the masonite, do the final trimming, use the masonite to get the fitment and power windows functioning correctly, then send it to the glass shop for a template.

    Brian,
    I have a guy in San Dimas that I think has the original patterns. If you want his number I have it at work. Let me know.
