Might anyone be able to recommend a curved glass cutter / installer in Wisconsin, Illinois or Iowa? My '51 Chevy was chopped a long time ago and the de-laminating windshield needs to be replaced. Thanks
I took my car to PS auto glass in Janesville. I think they also have a place in Madison. It wasn't cheap but I was very pleased with the results
If you have no luck with glass, try ProGlass in Yorkville, Il. Bob does great work in composite materials.
you can use a sandblaster to cut glass... tape off the glass you want to keep.. use thick duct tape.. and blast along your cut line... when it gets to the plastic.. cut that with a razor.. flip over and repeat.. support it on foam, or tires, or sawhorse.. I hold a piece of tin along the line to make sure the sand doesn't cut thru the tape.... when you are done, the glass will have a polished edge hope that helps
Nice car. Good luck and let us know the outcome and the process used. This topic is common and it's nice to know what good steps were used.
remember when you use sand to cut glass it generates lots of heat and that will break it, have a air supply blowing on area to be cut increases your success rate. it takes lots of patience!
