The reason I ask is because I am in the process of having a curved windshield built
& I want to get some more info of what windshield he used. I really like how it is proportionate
to the car. I should have asked him when I took the pic. He was leaving & I hate when someone
bugs me about something when I'm on my way out. Oh, well....
Any help would be beneficial,

It's probably a Toyota truck winshield cut down. Dave's custom glass in Phoenix will do it, Tatum uses them.

I want to stay away from the cut downs because from what I understand, I have to pay for it even if they break it while cutting it down. I will take a look at some Tatums to get an idea of what they look like. IF they can do it without the whole, "we break it, you bought it" clause I would consider it.
thanks

Pretty sure if they cut it down you pay before they start. Everybody I know that has a curved windshield has had to have it cut down. Good luck!! beer.gif

Looks like an alumicraft car maybe call them and see what they use.

Mine is an uncut Karma Gia wind shield. But get the biggest window you can so not to sacrifice visibility.

If you can avoid having it cut that'd be better but most can't avoid it.

Go see Emil to have the aluminum done. 951 202-5334 He is right there in Grand Terrace. Windshields are about 135 for cut and install. He did my car.

Doubt he would have known, it's just a windshield to him installed by the builder. Track down the manufacturer of the rail..........
tintman
anybody know what he charges to do the aluminum work for the windshield to set in? my car has a flat windshield and i hate the way it looks!!!!
Mike330R
I believe he starts around $800 for a frame. Call and ask. Top notch work for sure!
BenTerrible
That's an older alumicraft car - we used toyota 4 Runner glass I believe. Call J. Cooley and confirm. The frame is what gets pricey.

That's a good lookin' piece of glass, it fits just right.
I guess its all about what fits the car best, that's the magic.
