Pay no attention to the man behind the Glass
Today I received my driver door glass from AAPD.net. I have heard a lot of horror stories about the contour of aftermarket glass not matching the contour of stock glass. However I have not heard anything specific about Scott Drake reproductions, which is what this is. I just ordered my butyl tape from NPDlink.com and I will attempt the assembly next week when the tape comes in. I really hope this glass matches the stock contour, so far I have had nothing but trouble with reproduction parts...
Here is the glass. Dachshund not included.
I also talked to a restoration shop and a chrome shop today on the phone. I have to give a shout to the guys at http://www.vintage-mustang.com for the recommendation. I called Orlando Mustang and Peter was so helpful. Even though I was not spending money with him right then he was more than willing to talk to me about chroming and recommended a great shop called Space Coast Plating over in Melbourne. I am willing to ship my parts to someone I can trust, and so I will. Space Coast quoted me a price I was very happy with. They were very helpful and honest with their answers, as if they enjoy what they do and are not out to just make the quick buck. I was figuring a lot more.
Thanks a lot to Peter C (Pmustang) from vintage-mustang forums, Peter from Orlando Mustangs and Space Coast Plating (Sorry I cannot remember the gentlemans name I spoke to). I can't wait to do business with these guys.
