Tommy-
My whole project seems kinda bronzish so far...Would bronze glass be too much bronze or would it be cool?

Give him a few numbers of glass shops in your area so he can make a few calls ::)
I know you said you don't want to do tempered glass, but is this single or double strength glass?
Also, the edges, are they rounded after sanding, or straight? The sanding gives it that somewhat-frosted look, right? Obviously it should be hidden by the sides/bottom/top of someone's cab so it shouldn't make a bit of difference, I'm just wondering, since that frosted look has a bit of "grip" to it.
Lastly, how are you gonna ship this? Breakage seems like it'd be a serious problem. This is the question I think is MOST important. Doesn't make sense to worry about the color of broken glass, right? ;) And what's going to be your policy on breakage? (I'd suggest requiring a photo if you're gonna do refunds/replacements)

I know this question seemed a bit retarded but in my defense I must say this...It would be nice to get a comparison price since one of the claims here is that Tommy's glass is a great deal. I just assumed he might know then what a typical glass shop in the US would charge for something similar. I might be a heck of alot more inclined to snatch a piece of this from Tommy if he were to come on here and say something like..."You could expect to pay around $75-$80 at your local glass shop" I being the gullible sucker that I am would probably click the buy button without even checking with the glass dude down the road. I'm building an arcade machine, I would rather not even talk to a "glass guy" if I don't have to. I would MUCH rather chat with a fellow cab builder/glass dude anyday.
I'm also assuming Tommy would have shipping arraingments worked out before offering this. But yea, the UPS man will kick the crap out of that box all the way to my doorstep!! We all know that is true!! I would still be willing to take the chance.

If any glass arrives broken just have it sent back at no charge to you and i will replace it for free. I have the glass i send insured. Unfortunately time will be wasted in the event of broken glass but it will not cost you anymore.

Single strength glass is 1/16 thick, double strength is 1/8 thick, like i said I'm offering 1/4 thick glass.
The edges are kinda rounded but not enough to really mention. The sanding of the edge does kinda give it somewhat of a frosted look on the edge but i wouldn't say it's grippy. I use a pretty fine sand paper on the edge so to answer your question.. it's not a clear perfect machined edge but it does fit the application well.
