[Mgs] MGB windshield replacement near me

[wkilleffer at epbfi.com]

Hello everyone, 

There's a chance I have asked this question before, and if so, I must apologize. If I have asked it before, it was likely before the pandemic, and that slowed everything down. I've also had a few deaths in the family that slowed me down in other ways. But now I have time and money, so it's time for this long overdue task to be complete. 

My 1974 MGB is in dire need of a new windshield. It's to the point that I shouldn't drive it at night or at times when I'm driving into the sunrise or sunset. 

I realize this is no one's favorite MGB repair task, and I know better than to take it on by myself. Frankly, I would rather pay a knowledgeable person to do the job and not worry too much about it. I'm not involved with any clubs and while I do have a couple of "car guy" friends, this is outside of what I could enlist them to help with. I'm kind of a "lone wolf" in this regard, and most of the time, I don't mind. But then something like this comes up, and resources seem slim on the ground. 

Gang, I'm sick and tired of not being able to drive my car, and this is a major factor in what's keeping me from enjoying it. The brakes are great and I have the engine running better than it has almost since I got it. But if it's not safe to drive due to vision, then it just sits in the garage. 

I live in the Chattanooga, Tennessee USA metro area, and know that none of the "chain store" glass places are going to be up for something like this. I'm not sure there's still a local glass shop around here or not. There is a shop not too far from here which specializes in British car work and restoration, but they haven't returned my calls. I may try them again this week now that the local show is over, but they may not want to do this kind of work. 

This is doubly frustrating now that I have the money, but can't find someone to do the work. 

Any thoughts, or anyone nearby who knows the scene better than I do? 

Thank you, 
-Bill
