didnt check their prices, but im sure they will be better. the glass shop i used probably isnt set up for shipping this stuff. if you can go to a car show or swap meet you can pick the stuff up for 10-15 bucks a stick instead of 25-30.

Sal's '55 Chevy · 11-14-2009, 01:30 PM

about how long did it take for anyone to get their glass done and to them. Because i been going around and everyone keeps telling me two weeks or a little less for the temp glass. Did anyone use laminated glass?

blackdiesel · 11-14-2009, 03:14 PM

2 weeks around here, is the norm. grandpa had laminated in his and broke them both over time, we had some tempered made for him, its alot harder to brake.

OrrieG · 11-14-2009, 04:15 PM

Tempered take longer because the glass has to be cut to size then tempered. If you are not in a large metro area it usually has to be shipped to a factory that has the oven to do it. Even though the Boise area has over 500,000 population all tempered glass for buildings has to go to SLC for tempering.

Sal's '55 Chevy · 11-15-2009, 01:11 AM

Both of you are right and i been shopping around to see who is the cheapest but i think i know what im going to do now and i think it is going to look good because im thinking toward the future haha. Thanks Guys.

I have the window template scanned and where you can print it out and put together. Need a place that I can upload the PDF files to. They are in a zip file and are 9 files. Any clues where to host them?

It sounds like they are in pieces? If you can get a full size to me by mail, I can scan it on my big scanner and have files that someone could take to a blueprint store or kinkos and get printed on one sheet. I can scan max 42" wide x as long a paper is.

If you can do it in one file I would be glad to host that one as well.

I sent grim a PM. I will be out of town next week, so it should be in my mail when I get back. PM me with your email and when I get the drawing scanned I will email it to you.

Thanks but we got it taken care of. Check out the link in my sig.

bensimmons_05 · 11-18-2009, 09:46 AM

Have you tried uploading them using this site to host? the attachment window says it will handle a 100kb zip file. If you split it up it may work?

bensimmons_05 · 11-18-2009, 01:55 PM

TEAM EFFORT! I can't wait to do this mod.

GRIMSS · 11-18-2009, 07:09 PM

PM me your email and I'll send you the file. Not everyone will have places to go and have it printed on 20 x 28 paper, so I made it where anyone with an 8.5 x 11 printer could do it.

dwcsr · 11-18-2009, 09:34 PM

Here is the link to the page.
http://www.thehollisterroadcompany.c...ecewindow.html

There is a Zip that contians the 9 files or you can download each file or one large format file that prints off on a plotter or other large format printer at Kinko's or Office depot.

I would reccomend that if you use the large format that you download the Print_me_first page along with the large format so you can verify the scale.
The Zip has the print_me_first in it.

**JML55** · 11-18-2009, 09:58 PM

Thanks, I just downloaded your zip file and then printed the files of my printer worked perfectly and your instructions are very easy to follow. Thanks again.
