Got a 64 Chevy Pick up to do. As Scotty would say "That means it is an old truck !" Question being, at that time, were the windows clear glass ? The windows on that one are all flat as well ? It is a Fleetside, if that makes any difference.

Got a 2006 chevy corvette to do at work tomorrow, never done one of these back glass, done the side windows, but not the back glass, the other tinter which has about 8+ yrs. experience vs. my 2+ is out with back problems. I did a camaro back glass the other week, took me ahwile to get it but I got it in the end. Anyways, any tips on the shrinking process? I use bounce for the shrinking process (dry shrink). Thanks for any help.

Can the back window on this beast be done in one piece. All of my years of tinting this will be the 1st 57' CHEVY I have ever done. Its a show car for a gentleman here in Houston. I want to give him quality work, but the back window looks intimidating. Especially with the massive amounts of curve on the sides. Any information would help me out, BIG TIME.

Hey, I see there's a couple threads on the C3 vette. I therefore see that many do the rear in one piece. I have one in the shop now, and want to do it one piece. I've been able to get plenty of tough windows in one piece so I'm sure I can get this, but wanted some tips on where to put the wet strip...wet or dry shrink...etc. Appreciate it. Ryan

00' S10 Rear Window
by Guest Urban- 2 replies

I just got my tint done yesterday and I was wondering if I should go back and get this looked at. The bubble is about the length of two quarters and about as fat as a penny. It is not filled with water, it is filled with air(I understand sometimes the tint needs to get dry). I was wondering if I should take it back to the tinting place and get them to fix it. I also have seems like dirt or something under the tint of my drivers window and under the bubble on the rear window.

Does anyone take this addl. antenna off, or do you leave it on and cut around it? I believe it is the onstar antenna, looks like a cell phone antenna from back in the day. Just wondering. I've seen another tinter take one off before, so I was wondering if it is just held on with two sided tape. I have one to do tonight with this antenna on it.

These type of vehicle reminds me why I went to college to be an engineer. Not only do I hate wing windows, but the back glass on this had 'firebird' defrosters. They had about one inch of clear glass on both sides of big defroster braids running entirely up both vertical sides of each of the two panes or should I say pains. It turned out nice, but I am sure glad most of these trucks all rotted out up here in Wisconsin. This one was owned by a bodyshop owner. Nice truck, but crappy to tint.

Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill- 1

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -
