Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

Yeah I was worried about the fading & heating and also maybe too much glare. So im think of painting some of it or maybe add some vynil. Hmmmm.....

Had some time today to mock up my winshield. Man its pretty used up. Gonna have to make one or buy one. But I like the way this looks if it was new.

Also put the front guards just to see how they look.

None of this is bolted, just trying to get a feel of how it may look.

Hey AZ,

Is your windshield plexi or real glass? I restored my plexiglass windshiedl to almost like new using som Plast-X polish and a buffing wheel. I also restored the aluminum frame using Mothers aluminum polish. Polished up to a chrome like finish with very little effort. It ain't over till it's over.

If it's real glass I would think any glass shop could replace it for yous,..

It looks like they are all strait pieces,.....

Its all plexi glas fellas, im thinking like u guys. Hmmm.. The winshield doesnt quiet fit since I had to remove the middle part. Maybe bolt together to where it looks seemless. The gears are moving.

A nicer glass windshield from an old tri-hull or something shouldn't be too hard to find on ebay/CL/salvage yards. I was able to put an nice 3 piece on my Jupiter from ebay.

Yeah, I like that. Gonna look at Craigs. I thought I saw that had several ones.
Nice fit by the way.

Buy some extra sunglasses for your passengers!!

Also - is your windshield now farther up front than it was originally? Looks cool!

Yeah I moved the winshield further up just to see. But im now looking at a more rounderwinshield maybe something that will run back further. Yeah all that diamond brite I think the other boats will need glasses too.

Azlo,

Been watching your thread for a while. You do great work.

I know a guy here in Alverado Tx that has about 200 boats on his place. He may have a windsheild you can use.

Give him a shout at boatpartsmotors@yahoo.com. He also list on CL in Dallas/FtWorth.

Maybe he can help. I bought some parts from him and he has pretty good prices.

Looking good,
I wish I was closer, I have a great doghouse that I'm not going to use that would probably fit well. Although it is glass.
Nice work.
