Rear quarter glass

[D Knight]

Have an easy way to remove the rear quarter glass? My razor knife is taking forever.

Yes, you can ask username videobob how he does it. He uses a hammer and smashes it into little pieces.
You asked how and that is the simplest way I know. LOL.
Honestly I wish videobob wouldn't do that but in the interest of converting a DeLorean to a Back To The Future car that is what he does since the BTTF car does not use those rear quarter windows

There are power tools for this. Pneumatic windshield knife.

That's a shame - I know it's probably a time thing and I'm not sure what the inventory is on that glass but... In the interest of respect on conservation I would take the time to remove and re-sell to owners.

I like Bob but I lost a little respect for him over that.

Cheers.

Braided picture wire and heavy gloves...

I don't smash it with a hammer...
We use a vibrating oscillating tool to cut it out.
We had a bad one that we smashed on video just for fun.....ONCE.
I have a PILE of them if you need some.
I have all of the parts that remove in big piles.
I have trunk carpet, rear carpet, back boards, exhaust systems, battery covers, lock box covers, rear louvers, rear quarter glass, rear windows, original shaft radio plates, a dented hood, dented fenders (right and left), etc. etc.
We keep all this stuff and it IS for sale, however no one seems to want it as I can hardly give it away.
Everyone wants to "preserve" it but no one wants to pay for it, pack it, ship it, store it, .........

Here is the took I use and one of the best tools you can have:

I have two of these and all of the attachments.
The tiny Li-Ion battery lasts a lot longer than you would think.
The ratchet is a life saver when you are working on a car.

Now, if your cheap and have a Harbor Freight handy, you can get the cheapo version:

I have one of these as well as the Dremel version also. I have a lot of these, mostly because I use them so often that it is easier for me to have
extras with the blades on them rather than constantly changing blades.

Good luck.

Video Bob, do you have a list or Site of all the parts you have for sale and prices? Could be a good resource

Thanks for clarifying, Bob.

Like I said, I appreciate the work that you do and I'm glad to hear that you do preserve the parts you remove.

Now I know if I come accross a part that needs replacing, I'll think about if it's something you'd remove in a conversion and come to you first.

Cheers.
