Good question!

Short answer no...I wanted to get the transom part done and drill the holes before paint. In case there was any F/UP'S and there was.

So now I will take the rail off fair in a few wrong holes and be ready for paint.

Default Last Piece...

Well I finally got the last piece of the windshield puzzle solved.

Awhile back I posted this picture and asked for some ideas on supports.




The best one was to copy Blue Herons idea. Dave was kind enough to make me two supports. Unfortunately when I got them they did not fit because after I routed the rabbet for the glass the support was a little to wide . Back to the drawing board.

The support had to full fill 2 criteria. 1. support the windshield and 2. provide a strong hand hold.

So here is what I came up with...3/4 inch S/S rod compound miter cut then drilled and tapped. Again it is nice to have a friend in the machine shop business.

The rod drilled and tapped.

Nice tight fit

Extra Hand Grip and Glass



I think this is the final hole drilling and fitting before going to paint...
