I used Auto City Glass in MN, I was pleased with what they supplied to me, don't know about other people's experience with them. The date codes cost me $75 per piece of glass.

I know of a City Auto Glass. Is that the same one?? Where were they located. Did you have to buy all the glass or could you buy just one window. The problem I have is I need drivers side door glass and windsheild, but everyone wh=wants to sell you the complete set. Maybe it's so it all matches.

That is them! I got the name bass ackwards!
I was able to just buy the front and rear windshields (clear, with front antenna in the glass) from them, I didn't need any side glass.

The mirrors can be cut and dated by Paragon, they wouldn't do my Nova mirror though - I must have gotten an elitest when I called them - 'we don't do Nova's' they said, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Hey Marlin, call them back and tell it's a COPO Corvette and has that style mirror. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

How did the text in the glass match up with the existing glass? Could you tell the new windows apart form the rest? I have a City Auto Glass here in town so looks like I'll get my glass from them.

Any info/phone numbers for Paragon? Do they do 69 Camaro mirrors? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

No Camaro mirrors but LOTS of interchangeable Corvette/Chevrolet parts.

I thought the text matched up very well. They will ask you if you have the LOF in a straight line or diagonal, so make sure you check your other glass pieces. I can tell the new glass from my original side glass only because the new ones brought out some flaws in my originals that I had not noticed before. It is very difficult to find clear glass in good shape, so I will probably have my flaws polished out - actually, will probably try to do it myself.

Marlin,

Paragon changed ownership during the past few months, so you may find them more Nova-friendly next time around [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That sounds good! I will try them for another mirror, I have an NOS one on my Yenko, but it's a little bit later version so it's not a DMI. It hurts to smash a perfectly good NOS mirror, but if I can install a correctly dated DMI version - that's what I'll do [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
