Glass Seekers was the company my glass guy told me to call. Also, I looked at the two windshields that got shipped to me, made in China, not Ohio where the factory is. Very odd, but I bet all of the glass installers that also sell windshields buy them from the one producer.

That's wild, my wagon came from the Phoenix area and originally had a 350 Chevy with perfect louvers in the hood. I kept the hood because the louvers looked so good and did a great job of cooling down the engine bay. Not a far stretch to believe your buddy did the louvers. Hotrod guys I know have all said what a good job whoever did them was.
Got any pictures of the wagon? Ill send them to him and see lol he remembers every punch

My local glass guy quoted me $300 plus tax this morning.
Did you ask who the supplier is?

Just to add a little to this, my new windshields have "made in china" on them, where as the one in the wagon doesn't. When we get a new one in, I'll see if there is any difference between the old and new. I guess as long as we can still get them, but I'd have one in stock because you know the time is coming for that rock crack.
Ron, did you find a dealer for that crack rock?

No, I have enough problems finding a Bud dealer.

Can you share what you used under that hood for insulation/deadening?

Lizard Skin, both products. Sound deadener and the ceramic insulation. If I remember right, a couple coats of each. I used them throughout the wagon.

i have 2 chips in mine from PP, will leave till they start traveling
Available still $250 local pickup. No interest in shipping. I drive the state frequently and can help deliver in California for some gas money.
I would love one for the next time your down in California.
Safelite was supposed to come to my home on the 10th and replace mine through my insurance. They emailed me saying they don't do any vehicles over 30 years.
Insurance gave me a local glass co that they work with. They found a supplier some where on our side of the world that has 5 in stock. He ordered 2 to make sure at least one has no scratches and or one breaks. They are supposed to arrive in town Thursday (tomorrow). If so, I will find out where they came from and pass it on as well.

Just got my 71 back from the windshield replacement shop
The glass was supplied by a national supplier FYG. $169 to the windshield installer. He got it in 3 days. Ordered two to make sure at least one was not scratched. Sent the other on back.
My damaged one was also FYG
My insurance picked up the tab no deductible

Yep, I think that's the only company making them. My glass guy said his suppler just quit stocking the rare windshields, but you can still get them as long the FUYAO company keeps making them. That is a good price, too.
