Re: [Chrysler300] Repro Windshield Project Update

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxx>]

An alternative for the windshield project would be Timo Tanskanen. He has
the F windshield in stock, sells for about 850.00, is tinted the same as
factory and looks of high quality. He is currently replacing my B
windshield with one of his own making as mine is beginning to delaminate on
one edge and he has the windshield gasket problem well in hand.

He does have a windshield bug of his own design not that of the original so
be aware of this if this is important. They are manufactured in Finland
using molds of his design. Some others from South America have been of poor
quality. My current one came from South Africa some 14 years ago and I was
never to pleased with it and had never until now found one that I thought I
could be satisfied with.

Several club members have used his product and I have never heard of any
complaints. If there are any out there, speak now or forever hold your
piece. He advertises in our club newsletter so you all can get contact
info there.

Just another alternative for our listeners.

I realize there is much interest out there as to what has become of the
reproduction project for the '60-64 windshields.
Below is the update from Vic Phillips as to where it currently stands.
Fellas, if we are going to have windshields as the years roll on, it is
going to take a man like Vic or someone exactly like him ( who???) to get
the job done because he is a dedicated hobbyist.

So please let Vic know of your ongoing interest and support by dropping him
an e-mail at classicglass@xxxx .
I'm not involved in this project other than hoping to see it done, wanting
one for my 300F Special, and being a correspondent of Vics partly because we
both own Studebakers!
