Your modifications made a huge improvement in the overall look.

 

[christcrusader13]

Sorry for the delay....

Progress!! Looking good and I attached a pic of the go through ratchet set, i love it, you can also get a set with a smaller and larger ratchet, I think mine is Kobalt.... it's my favorite set.

Glass cutting 101
Steep learning curve, only 11 cracks, not so bad

 

[Neverdone]

I work in a glass plant. I feel your pain. Best tip I have heard for cutting laminated glass.... Score and snap one layer at a time. Score it snap one side. Put lighter fluid on the snapped line and light it to burn the laminate. Then snap the other side.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Man, I do not envy you having to cut that curved glass.
I'm tuned in however because it is something I would love to learn to do...

 

[I-R-POPS]

Looks like she's the one doing to work.
I need me one of those assistants.

 

[Sam_Fear]

I've been told that new glass is less prone to cracking than old. Also, I've thought maybe making a support out of expandable foam might allow for easier consistent scoring.

How much is new glass gonna cost ya?

 

[soltz]

It's the challenge that's fun [S
The first thing I figured out is us a straight edge and make sure the two sides line up real close. I use a propane torch to melt the lam.
New is about the only way, I could never get an old glued in glass out without breaking the hell out of it
I bought the first one off e-bay, $130, not bad I'm thinking, when I picked it up I ask if I could buy from them, PWG autoglass, they gave me the #, I ordered another one today $41.17 from the factory, much better deal. I'll let you know how it turns out. I think they have shops all over the county[S
We'll try again next Monday but now I have a pattern.
Stay tuned
Also I think I've got the bag leaks stopped, it's be holding since 3 this afternoon[P

 

[JBailey]

Good deal on the bags! For $50 you can go through a couple windsheilds and not get hurt to bad, but hopefully the next one doesn't crack on ya.

 

[riverrat44]

Just finished looking over the entire thread. Your El-C is one wicked ride. Family projects rock. Wish I lived closer to my son, so I could work with him on his 68 Camaro. I'll be watching for further updates [P[P[P

So what did you find on your loss of air pressure?
You can't just leave us hanging.
Glad you got figured out. Air bag systems can be a pain sometimes.

Correction

It's PGW not PWG, Pittsburgh Glass Works, you can find them at pgwglass.com
And yes my second glass was $41.17 [cl If you need glass it might be worth looking into [S
IRP, found leaks at the gauges, all four. Disassemble new sealant and reassemble.
The tank was empty this morning and one bag was a bit low, so i'll keep looking. Yeh
Riverrat, I hear you. our first build was her first car, 70 Camaro started when you was 14.
