Default Re: 1974 23 CC - project

Well I have made little progress on the lawn ornament.

I did get in my plexiglass sheet in from estreet plastics. Professional plastics would not send a 6’x 18” UPS. I sent a pm to estreet and they sent me a link to the exact size I needed…..it was about 70 bucks to my door. The original windshield was lexan and the local glass shop wanted $420 to make it! I had also found lexan (bronze) online for about $150 ish cut to fit but went with the plexi.

Getting ready to bend:


Bent blank…comparing to original…looks like its gona fit:


Sides cut, edges beveled with file and its ready to install:


Before:


After:



I am happy with the way it came out.

I have also been doing some little stuff like pulling wires and re-doing thru-hulls. With the arrival of a few key parts in the upcoming weeks I should be able to really start putting her together.
