AMD & Auto City Classics any differences?
I need a windshield and back glass for my 66, and I've read that glass from Auto City Classics is somewhat thinner than OEM. Anyone have experience on this? Is AMD selling the same glass as ACC or their own?

If rear glass or side glass is FACTORY TINTED, I'd search out very nice original tinted glass.
The replacement tinted glass from every catalogue or restoration parts vendor that I've ran across in the last several years sells the same junk, just follow any of these freshly "restored" late 60's early 70's puppymill builds. With the sun hitting the back glass, you will see an odd rainbow effect. On the windshields, every new ordered one I've touched for the last 15 years has been thinner. Not really something that has bothered me, I wish the front tint bands were exactly like original LOF windshields from that era, but oh well

I have a replacement windshield from Auto City Classics in my car, I don't recall that it was any thinner than the original. However, it was put in over 20 years ago so I can't comment on what they sell today.
