look in mid fifty catalog, they have some tips and an approx location where to straighten door for solid flat glass.

Remember to step back and have some of that famous "frosty beverage".

Went through the same thing with my 48 1-pc from Vintage. I did get some useless instructions with mine. Did I say they were useless? I'm going to take mine to a glass shop eventually and let them figure it out at $20+ an hour.

Just curious why you would pick the flat glass that requires a fair amount of body work rather than the curved glass?

thats a hole other problem axracer, the guy at the show said it would fit with no problems and I did ask about the having to cut the doors and he said no. Well when it got here I could tell just looking at the glass it was FLAT

. I also asked the lady I called about this and she said," yea it cost more." No sh!# and thats what I wanted so its all messed up. I think Im just going to save the glass for another truck down the line and just order some curved glass from midfifty. So all I can do is

. Lifes to short yo know, but if anyone ever ask me about vintage glass out of GA Im just going to tell them to look at other venders like midfifty.
