I order a ton of stuff from Ricks but cant speak for there glass, last 3 builds ordered every piece of glass from Auto City Classic inc. great price and never had a problem with fit. I believe its all a little thinner than the original, but still fit fine. Tough to beat the price. When I did the 67 a couple years ago all 8 pieces(includes wing windows) showed up at my house in pinkerton boxes, they fit great. 500 to 600 bucks buys it all, I think they all do the LOF date thing if you want to spend for it.

I recall AMD had some issues with door glass having wrong curvature,but they have taken care of that problem last year, I have a full set I have yet to install,so I can not comment on how well it fits and the overall quality.

AFAIK Pilkington is one of the best glass makers ,they supply many European car makers with their glass as OEM

just picked up the glass for my 70 chevelle from auto city. 750 to my door. would have been 30 bucks cheaper to a bus. i asked about manufacture and they said they ship whatever they have and the manufacture rarely stays the same. they said that if i had any issues during install (wrong fit, curvature, etc) they would ship me a new piece at no cost. this was even after i told them i wouldnt be installing for over a year.
