Model T Replacement Safety Glass and Plain Glass	Speedy Glass 9626 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque 87112 Phone: (505) 294-7006 Customer Service Representative: Priscilla Juarez	Speedy Glass on MenaulNE has installed safety glass in a number of local Model Ts over the past several years. They have one person who specializes in custom work. In April, 20ll they replaced the original glass with safety glass in the two-piece windshield of our 1920 touring. The cost for Flat Lam 6mm ¼ clear .030 12 x 38 was $37.88 and the other piece was 10 x 38 and cost $28.00. We also got two clear glass replacements for headlights cut from 1/8 clear 8x8 at $4 each. Total labor was 2 hours @$35/hour. Total bill with tax was $154. They were able to fit the safety glass into the original bezel. We left the work overnight and it was done the next day. If you do not have an existing glass for pattern: Reference is “Specifications and Sizes of Ford Windshield and Closed Body Glass, Model T” 14 pages of diagrams, truck and passenger car glass used in Model T fords years 1915-1927. T-11. Ford Motor Company, DetroitMichigan, 1927. Reprints available	Paul and Marilyn Duncan (505) 345-1343
Upholstery Supplies	R& R Trim Supply 1110 1st NW Albuquerque, NM 87102 (505) 265-1524	R&R trim has an excellent selection of fabrics, foam, trim, staple guns, stables, jute and other upholstery supplies. The guys in the shop are knowledgeable and helpful and they take returns if there is a problem with what they recommended. In the course of doing the upholstery on our 1920 touring, I got jute twine to tie the weak coil springs, upholstery gun, staples, cotton batting, and extra vinyl trim for the bottom of the seat back.	Paul and Marilyn Duncan
Plastic Replacement Supplies	Plastic Supply 2109 Candelaria Rd NE Albuquerque, NM 87107 (505) 884-0525	Plastic Supply has two plastic materials we used on our Touring restoration. One was black ABSU (0.60x48x96) in a large sheet that they cut to size. We used this to replace the original cardboard sound absorbing material behind the front & rear seats. I also used scraps to replace the cardboard pieces over the armrests (required bending with heat). $28 We also purchased a remnant of HDPE (3/4” thick) approximately 48” long by 12” wide for $15. We cut 5/8 “ square strips for replacement of wood tack strip behind the seat s. Then, heated the curves to 180 degrees with a heat gun and bent to shape. Clamps were used to hold the strip to the sheet metal shape until cool. The tack strip was perfectly formed, easy to drill for bolts and screws and secure for upholstery staples.	Paul and Marilyn Duncan
