Vintage Glass is asking what windshields we need reproduced
« on: October 04, 2018, 05:54:47 PM »
I am on the email list for Balls, LLC (dba Vintage Glass) from a previous purchase.  I received an email from them asking:

Wish List: We're going to make some Obsolete w/s = Tells us what you need.

I'd like to ask all you Aero owners (& KF) to please take a minute to contact them via the email address below to let them know the Aero windshield is on your wish list.  Having some more windshields available for these cars could go a long way to keeping more of them on the road.
Thank you.

There is a seller regularly listing one piece windshields on ebay, clear only.

Another run of glass wouldn't hurt but given my experience with this fellow for a rear glass, I'd be skeptical of anything other than him hustling up a middleman deal.
Long story kinda short, he has, or had 2 or 3 glass company entities on the net that, in my case, greatly overstate his manufacturing capabilities. He took my info and a photo, said he'd get back to me after he talked to "production" in his "in house" cutting & tempering facility.
I kept looking and actually ran across a real manufacturer, the owner of amhotrodglass, that already had my specs AND photo and would barely speak to me she was so pi**ed off at being called a b*tch by that guy trying to have her make my back glass. I got that all sorted out and didn't have her make one from acrylic...………… but I have to ask myself...………...why would a guy with an in house state of the art glass cutting & tempering facility be asking a gal that bends acrylic to make my back window?
I did fine several glass benders that could do it, him not being one of them.
