Default Glass supplier

Can anyone recommend a supplier of auto glass for 68 Camaro that is close to original? I purchased a set from Pilkington about 3 years ago. IMO it's junk. 70% thickness of OER, but the worst part is the quench marks throughout the glass. I believe they went out of business, I can SEE why. Thanks

-----Dale Smith at OEM Glass is an old, old friend and has supplied the best cars in the country with repro glass for many years. Over a year ago he told me that correct vintage glass would become harder and harder to get sooner, not later. The reason is all the cheap, misconstructed, cheap (did I say cheap???) glass available was literally putting the good manufacturers in a position where the good stuff just isnt paying for itself . Volume just isnt there. We all know that profit is the bottom line for these big companies and people just havent been buying correctly, more expensive to make glass. Dale was very afraid that he wouldnt be able to supply the quality glass he always has for very much longer.........Bill S

I use Auto City Classics. I used their glass on both of my Chevelles, and my 69 Camaro. I will be ordering the glass from them, for my 69 ElCamino soon. It is a bit thinner, but it all fit well, and looks good. They also date code.
