Hey Frank -

 

I haven't found any place that will do this.  It may be better to scout around for an NOS or mint used mirror.

Speaking of which......

  

I went to my upholstery/glass shop the other day to get my twin strut mirror glass replaced on my '59. I get a call the next day saying they can't do it because the glass is too thick and their replacement glass isn't as thick and wouldn't look right. Does anyone know of a place that can re-do or replace the glass in the mirrors? Thanks in advance.

Take Care,

Frank

Anyone

Has anyone out there in FL land replaced the glass in a rear view mirror?  I've called 5 or 6 autoglass and mirror shops in Northern Bergen County, NJ and just about all of them said they don't do it.  Is there a reason?  The reasons I got from a couple of them is that they can't get the glass to stick and they don't cut small pieces of mirror.  Kind of ridculous if you ask me with all the technology that's out there.  Does anyone know of anybody who does cut mirror and get it to stick on the mirror frame?  Thanks.
