Anyone know where I could find someone to make a windshield out of Plexiglas for an old boat?

Like a late 1950's alumacraft queen merrie. Not my boat, just asking for someone.

Thanks!
 
Some of our local sign companies can do some pretty fancy stuff with Plexiglas. You might check with some of the ones in your area.
 
Make a card board template of the window,and install it.This way you know that it will fit inside the seal when it's installed.Most glass shops deal in polycarbonate and acrylic glass.If the boat came with tempered safety glass,check on the price of it.Seems to be getting cheaper,unless there are curves.If you install a "plastic" glass,with a curve,use a heat gun or hair dryer to help bend it.Cold bending will cause those annoying little cracks inside the glass and fogging.
