sliding hatch for a 73 V20

[franco477]

Hi Everybody,

I took my V20 to a local plastics company today to get a quote on fabrication of a new hatch. The guy has had experience making plastic parts for boats. He took the measurements and said he would use 1/4" plexiglass to make the hatch. This didn't really thrill me but beggars can't be choosy. He said it would take about a day to make and he would have to have the boat to make sure that he did the bends and slope correctly. Said it would cost me about $250. Would rahter have it made from thicker material but is worth considering. I will let you know how it turns out and post pictures.
