Default Re: Nova interior questions

I was getting ready to ask who is Tri City glass since I had never heard of them and then Marlin came in and said it should be Auto City glass, who I have heard of. So, is it Auto City glass that we are talking about? Reason I ask I am getting ready to order glass from Auto City, but if there is someone else I should consider I am all ears.

Thanks,

Dave

Yes, it's Auto City Classics.(https://www.autocityclassic.com/)....I was mixing it up with Tri City Plating, that does chrome bumpers. I've used Auto City Classics for glass a number of times, but my other cars had tinted glass. My understanding is, they don't sell clear glass, but I'll look into that.

I'm not concerned with date coded glass on this car, like my others. It's a hot rod, but I may end up doing it anyway.

I had to ask them specifically for 'clear' glass, they had to search for it - but they found me both windshields, in clear, and then put the date codes on them for me. The date code service was $75 per windshield.

Bill, when I replaced my windshield for my Chevelle, I needed clear glass. PS Auto Glass here in Janesville actually had it in stock. They etched it for the correct date codes. I am supposed to call him tomorrow for myself....I will ask him if he can get what you need for your Nova.

Tinted is easier, probably cheaper and nicer in my opinion.

I like tinted glass too Sam, but this car is more of a basic no frills Nova....at least it use to be be. I think the clear glass has more of an old school look.

you'll never know it. I have dated and shaded glass in the front and back of my camaro with the original clear side glass and it is fine. best part is when you are driving and looking thru a nice new, clear shaded front glass. easier on my old eyes! besides your nova is not an original numbers car it is a Bill Rose nova. Something to have fun with and hammer when you need to.

I went to PS Auto Glass today. I got a quote for Albert but they were having a little trouble trying to find clear glass for your Nova Bill. I will contact you as soon as I hear something.
