Re: Make Your Own Curved Windshield for $100
Griots garage sells some great products through Advance Auto. My buddy just waxed his racecar the other day and buffed out all the glass on his truck as well. His windows catch some of the fall out from the power plant he works at.. so he has to keep the wax on his truck regularly to keep the paint from being damaged. I'm thinking about buying one of the Griots kit's that includes the buffer...

Actually.. he convinced his fiance to let him buy this little red "project" ski boat. The seller threw in the windshield and a stainless prop to sweeten the deal. Neither fit the ski boat.. but the seller told my buddy that he could sell the prop and glass and pretty much fund the completion of project lol. Long story short.. he gave his fiance the same sales pitch. She bought into the idea of buying the little ski boat, taking the spare glass and prop and flipping them to "pay" off the initial expense of buying and fixing up their lil red boat. Welp.. fast forward 2 years... they still have the parts and prop lol. Eventually they'll break down and sell them to me.. or finally get brave enough to list them on ebay. |

Do you have any pictures of your windshield now? Has is started to show any stress marks in the bend? The lexan sheet in my boat was cut and forced into place. It looked great when I first purchased the boat, but last summer we noticed it had some stress marks in the bend. I'm just curious if heating and bending like you did would cure this issue. I just need to find a place that sells Marine grade plexi or acrylic and try to build my own mold. I have sooo many projects... wish I just had more time and money lol. Although.. if I had the money i could just pay someone else to do it lol.. or atleast buy that windshield set off my buddy :) |
