didnt check their prices, but im sure they will be better. the glass shop i used probably isnt set up for shipping this stuff. if you can go to a car show or swap meet you can pick the stuff up for 10-15 bucks a stick instead of 25-30.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
about how long did it take for anyone to get their glass done and to them. Because i been going around and everyone keeps telling me two weeks or a little less for the temp glass. Did anyone use laminated glass?

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
2 weeks around here, is the norm. grandpa had laminated in his and broke them both over time, we had some tempered made for him, its alot harder to brake.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Tempered take longer because the glass has to be cut to size then tempered. If you are not in a large metro area it usually has to be shipped to a factory that has the oven to do it. Even though the Boise area has over 500,000 population all tempered glass for buildings has to go to SLC for tempering.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
I have the window template scanned and where you can print it out and put together. Need a place that I can upload the PDF files to. They are in a zip file and are 9 files. Any clues where to host them?

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
It sounds like they are in pieces? If you can get a full size to me by mail, I can scan it on my big scanner and have files that someone could take to a blueprint store or kinkos and get printed on one sheet. I can scan max 42" wide x as long a paper is.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
I sent grim a PM. I will be out of town next week, so it should be in my mail when I get back. PM me with your email and when I get the drawing scanned I will email it to you.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Have you tried uploading them using this site to host? the attachment window says it will handle a 100kb zip file. If you split it up it may work?

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
PM me your email and I'll send you the file. Not everyone will have places to go and have it printed on 20 x 28 paper, so I made it where anyone with an 8.5 x 11 printer could do it.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Here is the link to the page.
http://www.thehollisterroadcompany.c...ecewindow.html There is a Zip that contians the 9 files or you can download each file or one large format file that prints off on a plotter or other large format printer at Kinko's or Office depot. I would reccomend that if you use the large format that you download the Print_me_first page along with the large format so you can verify the scale. The Zip has the print_me_first in it. |

Re: 55-57 one piece windows
Main thing to do is make sure the scale is correct and line up the cross hairs.
