Checking back to see if you found the windshield contact info. If not, I can go with UPD. They look to be great replacements.
Thanks.

Re: 1980 V-King restoration
Shoot, sorry about that. Thanks for reminding me.
Company is Custom Mold and Tint Inc in Monticello AR.
Web site is http://getaboatwindshield.com/home
Someone in the Hydrostream Forums Facebook group bought one through them and said it was like $250 or around there and it turned out great. I cant find the post anymore so dont hold me to that price. I have not personally seen one yet but if you do order one, I would LOVE to see it so I can add them to the list of windshield resources.

Re: 1980 V-King restoration
Thanks again for the info. I contacted them and they say they cannot make my windshield. They said they do not do windshields that go into a frame so I'm going with UPD. Do you know which tint was typically used by Hydrostream? It looks like the medium smoke or dark smoke is what I've seen in pictures. But not sure which one medium or dark. any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: 1980 V-King restoration
Weird. I know of two people who said that they have gotten one from them. Technically they are molded acrylic and sit in a slot. They are not framed windshields like the Vegas and such. I know they have made them before.
As for the tint, personal preference I guess but they were/are tinted pretty dark.

Re: 1980 V-King restoration
Hydrostream Canada (John Spaeth) must still have a contact for windshields as he will still build new boats to order. Not sure if the exchange rate plus border fees/shipping fees would be beneficial, but worth a call I would think.

Re: 1980 V-King restoration
Looking at a few of these pictures. Did the shop split the hull and save the trim in the process? Thats rather impressive! How is progress going?
I ended up ordering some samples from Vintage Paint as well. The Western Blue seems to be a dead match as well as the silver. My plan is to mix some .015" into the .025" flake at about 10-20% since there does seem to be some smaller flake, at least on my hull.
