thanks for offer sonny but I'm way up north -- anyway, just want to replace the sliding windows, not the sills and "one bys" etc that are attached to my brick house.

i thought there might be a premade frame i could cut to size then simply insert glass to make a fixed (non opening) unit.

perhaps not.

i want to do something custom for a precise fit.

just the top, bottom, sides and i suppose a middle piece.

You need to talk to glass companies that does aluminum windows for
commercial applications. They have stock molding that can be cut
and made to fit any size opening. They would also have the glass
to fit the new opening.

There are also "many" replacement window companies that will have
what you need.
