Default Side Window Glass Source

Anyone out there have a good source for side window glass. I know you can probaby find it at most glass replacement places but it's pretty expensive.

I am tearing into my doors this summer and the current glass I have is scratched to h#$%. Lets just say it's bad.

Looking for an inexpensive source. Have been looking on ebay for some time but almost every time the comment is some scratches.

If you are looking for restoration correct or OEM quality then try these guys.

They made the originals and i believe they sell direct.

I don't know how thick the repros are but I just called a local aftermarket body panel supplier and just ordered a new windshield, passenger door glass and driver door glass for $274 total, delivered to my bodyshop.

That was my cost so I'm sure if your friends with the bodyman he could get it cheaper. I'm not building a numbers matching car so I was just more concerned with new, shiny, unscratched glass.

So I would def contact the local suppliers first and save on the shipping.
