And it only took him 30 years to put that skill into his hands. OMG I love this. I am so inspired. This is one of the best build video I ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm 14 and have started my own car company. Some day I promise I will do this and remember with respect Deep Ellum Auto Glass.
Your enthusiasm is awesome, don't ever let anyone pee in your corn flakes.
you make a very hard job look very easy. great job and keep the vids coming. to all the guys and gals at DeepEllumAutoGlass have a great day and thanks sharing your work with the rest of us.
We can cut your glass for your chop top. We also install any glass needed. Wet belt sanding is another way to get the glass to the size you need. Cutting is quicker but the down fall to cutting is that not all windshields survive cutting. They sometimes will crack during the cut. Wet belt sanding is more time consuming but the glass makes it almost every time that way.
Does wet belt sanding work with heat tempered glass too or just laminate?
Thanks
I have used lexan since 1979 on my six-inch chopped top 1969 Mustang Mach 1. It went into outdoor storage in 1998 and suffered a serious rustout that I have been busy reengineering over recent months. This time around it will have a glass windshield, and the rear glass iis already installed for the first time since the chop. As a first-time glass cutter I found the right self-oiling diamond tip cutter folowing RUclips videos, cut corners first. The curator of House Of Kolors Kandy Urethane Jon Kosmoski's radical 58 or 59 Ford F 100 chopped-top he cut the windshield with a belt-sander which must have taken a month of Sundays, but after it was show and road worthy it cracked and he had to sand down another one shortly before selling it and it fell into obscurity, it may be what prompted him to sell it, "not a third time".
I have a perfect lexan windshield pattern from the last build, roughly what would it typically cost to send it to your shop from Fort Lauderdale Florida zip 33312 to R/R a clean cut?
Mine would have cracked into 1000 bits the minute i looked at it. Great work
Who the hell has a hand that steady? I got to take up drinking!
Great job.
i could watch this all day
Awesome for u guys to share, it's been a long time since I did that and it still made my butt pucker every time...good job
I know I'd be more nervous than a damn cat fish at a fish fry if I tried it. I think I might try it anyways on a junk windshield.
no I just heard the tap wow awesome trick on cutting and burning with alcohol I will have to remember that on my rat rod project. thanks for the awesome video
We use denatured alcohol to heat up the lamination.
I'm shire you had a whole lotta practice before even attempting to do this one.
Nicely done sir!
Would you use the same technique to remove about 1/4" to 1/2" of glass??
Thanks
Very nice didn't know that's how they do it
I've always wondered what happens when you have a non-standard size or contour to a windscreen.
Could you give us some more details of how to cut glass down using the wet belt sanding method please?
I'm thinking about cutting the roof off my car from just behind the top of the windscreen and then angling the roof in a shallow curve down to just above the rear lights. I'll need to cut down both side windows and front door windows.
Thanks
Basically Koito you have a upright belt sander that shaves the glass down for you instead of cutting it.Very time consuming.
Nice job I liked how u cut the corners first then the width that was a big shield to I also liked after u made the cuts u let the alcohol seep into the cuts to help burn the lamy away less cutting less chance of loosing the shield here in philly r guys r to scared to just get in there and do it and I love chopped cars but those old car shields aren't cheap to lose one hurts very cool video thanks
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
you make it look easy
One of the main things to do is get a good oiled glass cutter. Also, the thicker the windshield the easier it will be to cut.
Spray alcohol on the glass then put fire to heat soften interlayer vinyl so cutting easy with a razor blade
Nice job Robert
I just bought a steel, diamond coated grinder wheel for cutting glass, haven't tried it yet.
Has anybody out there used one on a windshield?
Nice video presentation! Could have used some narration though. :- )
is it that you buy an existing windscreen and cut it to suit?
Dallas texas huh? Maybe ill drive on over. I need a windsheild cut. But forst i need to get one from the junkyard, broke mine taking it off....
What are the name of tools and alcohol u used for cutting that glass
how about cutting a newly made windshield not new old stock have you had any luck there?
Tim Lundquist this was a brand new windshield. not NOS

Looking to chop a 1953 Oldsmobile 88 hardtop my question in concern is the back glass do you have any suggestions factory rear glass is tempered. Didn't know if there is an alternate solution. Thanks in advance!
You will either need to keep the rear glass hole the same, do not alter, then you can use the same glass. If it’s altered you will need to source a new laminated rear window so it can be altered to fit the new hole.
Best to keep the same opening for the rear glass
@@DeepEllumAutoGlass Thanks for the reply is there a laminate rear glass available for that car?
I would really like to know what this windshield came out of.
It's the same glass that would be used for this vehicle if it wasn't chopped. Usually the glass that was in this vehicle before being chopped is used for a template along with practice for making the necessary cuts on the new replacement glass.
The guy in this video didn't fabricate a glass part for this vehicle he basically modified the glass part manufactured for replacement of these vehicles.
Is there a reason you cut the corners off before you cut the length?
Jill Koch We do that to get as flat/straight piece to cut off as possible. It’s hard to get a piece off if it’s curving or wrapped around.
The flatter the better.
I guess this ain't your first rodeo.. Now how do you round out those corners.?
ThomasTheSailor Chubby We have a 6 foot tall wet belt sander. Cut as much as you can. Sand it to get it where you need. 80-120 grit paper with water to keep it cool
is it tempered glass?
It is laminated safety glass.
Tempered glass is cut and seamed(sanded edges)before being tempered. Once tempered it can't be cut.
is that fiberglass
OMFG!
I`m shocked...
How the hell did you do that ? My window would look like a freezer chest.
7 minutes ya'll,nice!
I am chopping a 71 Mustang and may need to send you a windshield
Mark Olsen Ok. Are you local?
@@DeepEllumAutoGlass No but will be in your area in February and will call prior to showing up at your door
some verbal instruction would be a plus. what tools being used? what spray? how thick is glass? many questions this video give no answers.
why did you begin by cuting the two edges of the windshield ?
Mellah kais we did this to cut some of the curvature out of the way so we could have a straight cut
What did you spray on the glass?
+Jonathan Latham Alcohol.
how is the glass curved?
Slightly curved due to the shape of the car, very rare you find cars with perfectly flat windows (often really old cars have them) but cars from the 40's onwards often had curves to make them suit the car more.
D4RKHOUND that's *why* not how.
Lamborghini Countage 5000 S, has a flat windshield..
Very Cool :)
A real lost art! MAGA !
He cut 4" off the top of the glass,WITHOUT any measurement, just free hand. Any betting the glass is either still too big or even worse,way too small.
Witchcraft!
Try talking next time, by using the English language you can do this thing called communication!
This wasn’t for you
@@DeepEllumAutoGlass see? YOur doing it already!!! Good job
Wheelie Kings I actually did this video many years ago for a specific customer who asked it to be done this way.
I communicate very well. This customer asked, I obliged. And he purchased what he said he would.
I didn’t get smart right off the bat.
A little bit of respect might get you somewhere in life.
👍 Good job!
