You never know when a rock may fly up and smack your windshield Always pays to have some spare glass tucked away!

I checked with Rick today. Three other people called last week, so we have what we need to buy a crate or two. If anyone wants in, let him know soon. Details will be available in a few days.

I'm still lurking around and ready for action... and so are those rock flinging big rigs!
does rick need credit card #s yet, or what?

Crit

iTrader: (6)

He doesn't need them yet, but it's the next step. I'm actually surprised he's ready to buy 10 windshields given that he's only got 4 buyers (I think). By all means, give him a call to remind him that we're anxious for the glass.

Hey Crit I just called Rick to let him know I'm in! Let me know if you hear back form him.

Crit

iTrader: (6)

Hey, could y'all PM me if you're interested with your real names, addresses and phone numbers? I'd like to check out how many we've got and see that nobody's getting overlooked? Also, please indicate if you're one of Rick's buyers already or if you're still on the fence.

Thanks.

Did you guys get the glass yet? how do i get on the list? what do I have to do?

Crit

Rick at Iowa Auto Glass is getting everything together. He's currently trying to avoid importing British glass through Australia, and is trying to buy directly.

PLEASE contact Rick directly at 800.553.8134 if interested.

He currently has 7 buyers which is more than enough, so he wants to go ahead and make this happen. If he can get it directly, then it'll be cheaper, but even through Aus, it won't be too bad with all of us splitting the shipping. Call.

Guys I can get these for $120AUD from windscreens obrien in australia.

I can organise this for you guys if you wnat.

Obrien buys windshields from a company in the UK. If Iowa glass in the US (a retailer) can't get them directly, then the plan is to buy from Obrien.

I know i kinda flaked out but bills came up around christmas time. Is this still happening?

Crit

iTrader: (6)

There's no reason it can't. I just got hitched and there was no way in HELL I was gonna get away with buying a windshield while "we" were pooling money together for the wedding. I'm back from the honeymoon and will call Glen on Wed. morning.

DELTA_Rotary

I hear you on that im currently "saving" money for our wedding in june. Its ok to spend 1400 bucks on flowers but I get **** for a 2-300 dollar car part.

hillbillyhector

Well, I've tried Rick every day for the last 2 weeks and haven't gotten him in person. I'll leave a message every now and then, but just can't get a hold of him. Maybe he's on the road - who knows. If anyone happens to call and catch him, please post up here and let me know. There's enough interest that he's willing to buy the glass we need as well as enough spares to fill the rest of the crate (last time we spoke, anyway).

Crit

Alrighty. I finally got an update, but it's not terribly good news. Rick will have to order 20 windshields, and is not buying them from the retailer in Australia, but will buy from the manufacturer. In order for him to commit to 20 pieces of glass, he needs 10 firm customers and recalls six or so off the top of his head. I'll send a PM to anyone that I know is interested, but we don't have 10 guys right now.

The only way for us to know when we've got 10 buyers is if we manage it here on the forum, so PM me directly if interested and I'll keep track of it.

<< Edit: Followup >>

Holy crap. We have 11 if Matt still wants in (not sure if you're keeping your car). In order of appearance, we have:

1. Crit
2. joepil
3. hillbillyhector
4. Matt22
5. Jesuscookies
6. clenchxxl
7. YOTOYLOKO
8. Jaime Enriquez
9. DELTA Rotary
10. 73IMPORT
11. twomucboost4u

I imagine we'll have a few guys that might flake on us, so we need to find two or three more, I'd think. I'll be in touch with everyone on the list, and we'll make this happen.

Damn, we've got ourselves a party.

I am in need of a front windshield. should fit a 4 door also right? how would we go about getting the windshield if they all come in a single crate?

DELTA_Rotary

Yeah Im in for sure. I sent you my info Crit. Did we ever get any pricing?

dannyrod

if we can keep this at a somewhat reasonable price..... IM IN!

Crit

iTrader: (6)

Rick didn't think we had enough guys to make it happen, but is checking on the price now. I'll call today to let him know that we're looking at 12 now and I'll get a hard number from him. Hopefully I'll have a price today.

Crit.. .I am very interested. Just wondering how you/we are going to distribute them around the country.

Crit

iTrader: (6)

We'll be buying the windshields from Iowa Glass, like anything else. They just happen not to carry these and are only willing to buy a crate if we can buy half of them. They'll ship them from Iowa like normal, whether you want it delivered to you or to your local glass shop.

Everyone that spoke up earlier got a PM from me asking for their name, address and phone number so we can verify how many people we really have that are interested. Speeddemon32, you'll need to PM or email me your contact info in order to get in on this. If anyone else wants in, you're more than welcome but you need to make contact with me.

PM sent.
