I just started dealing (casino) and im making good money, but my savings are only at about 400.00 right now, i really want a set of windows, and can probably have the money in another two weeks. No bullshit here. Just throwing that out archie so you know you have atleast one more set sold for certain.

i am excited for you guys and cant wait to see the results...even though i did not get in on the buy, (as i havent decided to rebody or chop and custom )i feel like i am waiting as well,it kicks ass that you guys have tops so similar in design that you can spread the tooling cost out and get glass ,as someone who has a few chops around for a few years and hassleing with the alternative.. i am excited for you all ,glass for financial reasons are impossible for one off stuff like mine,( at least for the side windows anyway) with my budget . i am happy for you guys and jealous at the same time

quote Originally posted by Archie: Traveled 896 miles yesterday in just under 20 hours. Got the window masters dropped off to the supplier. I was very impressed with the operation they have there. It isn't like dropping something off at Joe Blow's corner glass shop. They have a 200000 Sq. Ft. factory with about 140 employees & the right equipment to do the job. They were impressed with what we were doing with the Fieros & I passed out several V-8 Archie "T" shirts that have the pics of 2 chop tops on them. I took a tour of their engineering dept. & talked with their engineering people about the masters & what we needed. They have the right equipment to digitize the countours of window glass (pics below). Confidence is high. Archie

Thee official 1-month bump.

Are there 16 pair of eyes watching for glass besides Archie? Sounds about right.

I spoke to the glass guy today. He expects the windows to begin coming off the last operation tomorrow.

He said he'd call me tomorrow to confirm a final finish date & a day when I can go to pick them up.

Archie

does it smell like glass in here? or is it just me?

Is there any sets left for sale if so I will take 1 set

Is there going to be a separate thread for the first install and when can we expect to see this?

i will start a thread when i get my windows. hopefully they will be done soon. from what archie has posted, i would think they will be done in a week or 2. my car isn't an archie chop but it was done similarly to archies chops. the glass may not fit my car as easily as it will an archie chop, but since it will have the proper curves i'm sure i will be able to get it to fit properly without too much trouble

I was on the way to the airport today to pick up a customer, who was coming to drive his LS3 '88 GT home, today & I got a call from the Glass guy.

It seems that they had a problem with the windows.

They have all the right side windows done & they scraped all the left side windows in the last Tempering operation.

This must have happened last week because he tells me that he already has replacements in process & that they are only about 7 to 8 days away from that last operation.

I am going to call him back tomorrow to see if he can snd me a Right side window so we can test fit it.

I talked to the guy last Thursday & he expected that the left side windows were expected to be going into the last process (the one where they scrapped the last group) by the end of this week.

I hope I'll be going to pick them up next week.

Archie

I had asked the guy to send me one of the Right side windows for some test fitting.

It arrived late yesterday & I had time to test fit it into #1 & #21 & it looked pretty decent.

Here are some quick pics.

He11 yes this is some progress! I cant wait for my set, My cars all torn down and just waiting for the windows, And i finally got my new snap on lift installed so im counting the days.
Archie are you going to be recieving all of the windows and then sending them out or are they going to be direct shipped? I probably would feel better taking a road trip over to you to pick them up.....

thanks for the progress report!
