National Chevy Assoc. also has the windshields. I don't have experience (yet) with quality or fit , but I would think that most are made by a large national mfg. Perhaps you could ask the vendors for references of past recent sales.

I think that most of the glass available is good quality and is made from good patterns. I would suggest that you do some homework and make sure you get top quality gaskets to install your glass as the gaskets make a big difference in the final installation of the windshields.

Ever thought of a one piece windshield? Years ago I put a 50 Olds one piece windshield into my 51 chevy - perfect fit. Got it from a wrecking yard. Just saw out the metal divider. Think we used a utility knife to work over the gasket. Loved not having to look through the dog leg. Nice upgrade if you are not keeping it totally stock
