I get my glass thru him for about $70.00 for the windshield in a 73/up.
That's about wholesale price.
And,some insurance companys will replace it for your deductable,which is also waived by the installer,so it can be done for free!

Hey Mike,

I don't know if I should be depressed or encouraged!

I never thought about the insurance route. . . might have to look into that and see what it would do to my rates. Too bad we aren't closer!

I have to do something in the next few months, as it will be fully assembled and going to upholstery and hopefully in a local show in early June.

Ended up buying the windshield and and rear window seals from cooper restorations. I reached out to other vendors but never got a reply. Will report back on the install

Just had them put one in. used the same gasket with new trim and it was $160 something

I just located a glass shop a mile from me that will replace the windshield for $160.

I also double checked the LMC website and just getting the windshield delivered is $285!

Not sure how local glass shops can have glass delivered and installed for the same price LMC wants just for the glass sitting in their warehouse... but now I have that issue resolved!
