Hi guys,

Just curious, are backglasses traditionally printed on normal or tempered glass? Also curious if someone might know the thickness of a backglass (1972 Williams "Swinger"), if I were to go get some glass cut to replace one.

Thanks,

Thanks, ccotenj! Much appreciated. Has anyone had experience with plexi? I wouldn't mind it, especially for the safety, but is it more flimsy than glass? Does it kind of bow in or out of the machine (whereas the glass stays rigid)?

More thanks,
