    Hi all. My name is Hendrik and I reside in South Africa. I have a 1953 Buick Roadmaster. Does anyone know where I can find/purchase a 53 Buick laminated front glass and more or less pricing on it. The one I have is still the original tempered glass. I'm getting ready to chop the top of mine. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi BJR. Thank you very much. I was told here in SA that it was tempered and not laminated. It will be safe then to cut the glass to fit?

  5. I don't know that you can cut Tempered Glass. Whenever I try it ends up in a MILLION little squares all over the floor.
     
  6. Nothing wrong with that, if what you were wanting is a million little squares. :)
     
  7. Lexan and not too much risk, bend it with a cutting torch big flame about a foot away from the plastic don't pull the cutting lever.
