glass type?

After looking for over a year, I finally found a Hehr standard window that matches the rest of the windows in my 1954 Whale Tail. It came with all the pieces, inside and outside. It was painted white[ugg]. I have stripped the paint and have started the polishing process. The question is what type of glass to use, heat treated? tempered? regular? 1/8 thick?

Glass ordered, now for the hard part, any shops around ohio that could cut a hole in the bathroom wall and install it, making it look original?

Thanks, mostly original. I don't want to add the window unless it is done right. I'm worried about cutting the hole and warping the skin.

Here is the good part, to rebuild one of those windows the right way, you pretty much need to remove it from the shell. All you are lacking is the hole!
