'58 glass is about 10mm shorter at the B pillar than 1960, for some reason.

Being a glazier among other things that is a deffinat NO,like dave said you will be picking it up with a brush and shovel

Get one made up. There are companies that can produce either toughened or laminated glass to pattern. Lam would have to be thin and not advisable if it's being used much. Good luck!
