I've been searching for replacement weatherstrip for the windshield of the Pantera. Not the easiest stuff to find the right profile.
I found it here http://www.usamarinewindows.com/
Talked to Gil there a few minutes ago, and they are the original makers of the windshield for older Pantera's - he was familiar with the boat.
The seal you need for this windshield is the 8156.
About $75.00 plus shipping.
Just thought we'd start getting some helpful info out on the board for searches when we go live.

Considering the windshield is about 7" tall, and viewing area is only 5" max, I'm not sure that it's good for much more than decoration.

Yep.
And considering the business I'm in, I'm trying to figure out if I have a vacuum chamber large enough to apply a mirror coating to the new plexi.
Don't want people to know the boat is checking them out. I mean, mirrored sunglasses are only to make sure the ladies don't know you're checking out their...sun burn."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

why don't you just put the green eyes in the panels?

With the technolgy I have available, I might be able to do it in a two-tone mirror. I just need to make sure I have a vacuum chamber large enough to fit the front piece of plexi.
Also need to get a hold of my uncle Ted (I just call the guy that) to make sure we can set up the process."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

That is exactly what I'm after.
I have my process guy (Uncle Ted) that has been doing this stuff for 25 years. I need to get him involved. And the fact that I'm going to experiment on a $900,000 machine that creates a plasma and evaporates titanium, cromium, and silicone dioxide to make some cool mirror plate, and green cat eye's...
I need to be careful.
If I'm successful, I may be starting a new business.
I've had this on my mind for a while now.
Have a few different markets in mind."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".
