Alright guys I'm making a list of who wants what. Please post here if you're interested and what you need. I should start mid January if all goes well.
Windshield frames fit:
CVX-16, CVX-18, CVX-20 Sprint, Intimidator, and Jet
Horn grills fit:
Most every Glastron from the 70's and 80's ranging from the Scimitar to the bowriders.
Bow caps fit all CVX's and I'll get a PN later and edit.

You beat me to it! If anyone's interested I updated the post with pics. Also I'd make the footballs if I had a set to duplicate!
-
Pictures added ...
Thanks rayar3

Someone makes the Glastron football with decals, but we need the 3-dimensional one, either in plastic, or better yet in metal. I would not care if they were unpainted.

You might be able to find a set at Tim's marine in Grantburg for cheap ...Unless he saw some of the eBay ones going for $175 !
-
I have a set not sure if all intact, they are up in ND. Will have my bother in law take them off and send down.
-
My present Glastron football logos on the V-153 are acceptable, but if a new set were available at a reasonable price, I would purchase them. Seems like that would be a good business venture for someone assuming that it does not infringe on a patent right or production right. I know I audited a company called "Fresh Caps" in Hopkins years ago. They sold major league sports headgear, and paid royalties for every hat sold. That was the company that Draw Pearson bought into.

I just sent them an email asking about this, will let you know when/if they respond. I would think the current Glastron corporation would be the only one with any possible claim to the copyright, right?

Got the following response from Glastron corporate this morning!;

" We have no problem with that. Good luck!! "
If that's the case then ...
Could some one make a 1972 CV16 in red and one in blue ...Haven't made up my mind which color I want ...
LOL
-
Seems like if there was enough interest that the Glastron and Carlson emblems would be a good little market for someone already in the business. There are a few companies that reproduce the emblems for car restoration. Why not boats? What about the guy down in Florida that does the Glastron Carlson plates for the CVX's? I purchased a set. All he'd need is a set to follow to set his engraving machine to.
-
What's the price on the horn grill? I'd really like to get a new on on my CVX.

Prices are as follows:
Horn Grills: $100 for plain metal and sandblasted finish, $110 for a complete ready to mount painted, polished, cleared with 3M adhesive for mounting. Just peel off the adhesive film and stick it on.
Bow Caps: $75 with a brushed finish, no holes drilled because you're boat might not line up with the holes so you do it to match.
Windshield frames: $175/set brushed finish no drills also. You can drill stock holes or tap from the back side for a clean mount, your choice.
Shipping is standard USPS flat rate box and I do accept PayPal or check. PayPal has a $3 extra fee because they're greedy! I won't accept money now, just a "Hey I want one!" is good enough for me. I'll let everyone know when I'm ready to ship. There's too many variables when I make these to give you a set date of when they'll be ready. Feel free to ask any questions. I've made these before so if anyone has any pics of theirs installed feel free to post a pic!
-
Couldn't be more excited about a set of windshield frames for my CVX-18!
-
Any update on these items? Looking forward to installing my new horn grill. That will be one more project I can check the "completed" box on.

Hey guys sorry but I just don't post too much here! Here's the news:
I just bought 2 CVX windshields for the frames and probably paid too much but oh well. The CVX-20 windshield was trashed and it's already headed to the dump. The CVX-16 windshield is decent and available if anyone needs it. (I don't need it. I want a 1985+ CVX20 Sprint) It's $200 if ya want it. It's in Somers, CT 06071 if you want to come and get it.
So I have 2 nice sets of frames and I'll get going on reproducing them soon. I'll warn you all that I'm getting married in less than 3 months so this won't be a priority!
Also I need someone to measure their CVX bowcap for me and maybe post some pics and dimensions. I have a really nice copy but I want to make sure it's OK before I make more. I ran into a problem with the pattern windshield frames and I don't want to run into a similar problem with the bow caps. OR if someone has a "donor" CVX bowcap that they're willing to donate or I'll buy it from you please let me know. I'm just trying to keep and establish a parts base for everyone.
With that same note: if you need anything for your boat that I don't have, please let me know on this post. I can always make a one-off copy for you. It'd be best to let me know soon as I can run the parts with everything at once to save $$$.

Well had a good lazy day at the foundry today. Almost done with the pattern for the horn grills, the bow cap is awaiting the belt sander to remove the bondo filler and the windshield frames are on the table awaiting clay filling for the screw holes.
I got to use the Bridgeport today for the first time while making the pattern. Pretty cool machine. Everything is being fitted before I paint and mount everything to the board. I lost the first pattern I made so this time I went with a double impression so I get 2 parts for every 1 mold. The windshield frames will be molded L & R separately with a bow cap included in each one so I'll have plenty to go around. I'm planning on making 10 sets of frames, 5 bow caps, and 6 horn grills. If I need more then I'll make them as needed.
-
Well guys they're poured! Came out really well and they need just a little bit more cleaning before they're ready to ship. For those getting anxious I should be shipping the frames and bow caps within 2 weeks. The horn grills take a lot more work to clean in between the grills and then paint so they'll be a little longer. But since I have a pattern for everything I can always make more. I'm thinking about making some logos too but that'll be a "pet" project to see if I can get the detail I want using fine sand or even plaster for a core box.
-
Awesome am i too late to order a set of windshield frames for my intimidator up here in Alaska?
Thanks
Gene
-
Sorry Gene the windshield frames are gone and I don't see making any more for a while. I don't have a pattern for them and because of that they required too much cleaning and weld repair. I do have a couple of bowcaps left though. The windshield frames do come up from time to time though and you should be able to find a set in no time. Just search CL using a search tool like search tempest, ebay seems to be dry lately.
-
I'm restoring a 1974 cv16 and am looking for the end caps for the bottom aluminum rail of the windshield. They are held by a couple of screws. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris
-
There's a bunch of CV16 parts boats on CL right now, that's your best bet. Still have a few bow caps for CVX boats.
Edit: yes, they do fit CV's.
-
Do you still have horn grills available?

Yep I'm out. Just landed in Santa Fe from Burbank!
I'm getting ready for another run and I'll keep everyone updated but for now I haven't even pulled the pattern off the shelf. Lead time is a few months. Shop is very busy with aerospace and commercial right now and as most people know my little parts are an afterthought.

I am looking for a set of cvx20 / intimidator windshield frames. please let me know if an when I can purchase.

Talking orders for horn grills. They have been poured and are in the cleaning stage.

There's a bunch of CV16 parts boats on CL right now, that's your best bet. Still have a few bow caps for CVX boats. They won't fit a CV.
The bow cap from the CV should fit any of the CVX boats as long as your rub rail is original. I have pulled many different bow caps from CV and CVX boats to mold from and they are all the sale and most have actually been marked CV-16 on the back side. I have had the from CV-16's, CV-21, CVx 16, CVX 18, CVX 20, CV23. I have had a lot of them made as well as the windshield posts.
I have been asked to make some of the GT-150 bow caps which are much shorter in length than the CV/CVX caps. Anyone looking for those? I will likely order them made next week. I do not have pricing on them yet.
-
edited.
-
These still available?
-
I have bow caps and windshield frames. They are still unpolished. I can match Ray's price if he is out of them. Mine are sand cast finish also out of marine grade aluminum. I can get them polished but it would take a week or so and add about $50 to a set.
-
Sent you a PM, Jason. My last set, and they're yours if you want them. After that I'm retiring. The last few parts I have left I'm putting in the spares pile with the rest of my Carlson stuff for future hoarding projects.
I have a couple bow caps left that I'm keeping for myself to modify with LED's for a bow cap / nav light. Should be pretty sweet.

Hello everyone
I'm looking for a windshield frame and the glass for a GT 150
any info will Help.
thanks Don.
-
I know it says you retired, bit do you still have any horn grilles availible?
-
I actually came out of retirement yesterday. So I'll call it semi-retired.
6 bowcaps and 6 sets of windshield frames are in process. 2ish month lead time, most likely 3, depending on the 535 schedule. My parts go with bigger orders, so it depends on what's being made. 535 isn't a common alloy, but it's the best for this application. Plus I'm thinking about having them all polished as well to cut down on polishing prices win a bulk job. Let me know your thoughts on that if you're interested.
I do have horn grills. That's the good news. The bad news is the ones I have left need a bit more detail work to be ready to ship. When I make a bunch of them, I pick the best ones to finish because it takes less time. Now that I'm reaching the bottom of the pile, I have more work to do. If you're patient, I'll have some ready by the end of July, maybe. That's the goal at least.

Hi to all:
Anyone have a windshield for a 1987 CVX-16?
-
Welcome to the forum jpsgsi !
New windshields ...
http://forum.cgoamn.com/index.php?topic=2901.0 (http://forum.cgoamn.com/index.php?topic=2901.0)
Or ... are you looking for a used one ?
eBay and Facebook, or find a cheap CVX16 on Craigslist and offer to buy windshield / entire boat.
1977 thru 1980 and 1982 thru 1990 CVX16's all had same windshield.
-
Thanks for the info. I've looked briefly on eBay but have yet to look on Facebook. I'll give it a try. :)

Your in MN. ?
Shipping can get expensive ...
