That looks great thank you for the info. I am glad you were happy with the fit. I will take a look at them.

I have used Pilkington on two builds. Great guys to work with, excellent quality glass, finished nicely on all edges. They will even work with you and put all the original OE logos for LOF and the other stuff if your doing a full blown restoration. I have been super happy with all my interactions with them.

I went with Pilkington and am very happy with it. More importantly the glass installer was very happy with it. I'm car buddies one of the auto glass place in town. He sold it me at cost and charged me a couple hundred to install. Gray tint.

Did you call Pilkington Classics? They are on Facebook.

I bought mine from their location in Columbus, OH

You can also buy Pilkington Classics from Summit.

Pilkington was the company that bought LOF (our oem glass) in the early nineties (iirc)
The green tint is rather a hue, it is the stock "tinted" glass that was an option back in the day, its very faint on some paint and interior tones whilst noticeable on lighter tones.

The fit is oem, but one thing to consider, the Pilkington glass is a mm or two thicker than the cheap stuff.

Most glass shops can order it for you as long as they have a commercial location to ship it too.

Being an old auto glass guy (no longer auto, exception for the rare restoration projects), the Pilkington is the top of the line we can get right now. I've been through four windshields in my 2nd so far, good thing I know a guy lol...
