Keep an eye on ebay the cheapest I've seen them go for is $200 for a pair of bubble port holes and close to $500 for shapes. Needless to say my van has no bubbles haha | | | Re: Bubble windows | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 | A friend of mine has a set of heart windows that were never mounted...$700. Just for a little perspective.

Ony in Australia would the author make a template to make a "cock and balls" porthole window.

Always chuckled a little bit at the Mushroom portholes looking like a mushroom tip. | | | Re: Bubble windows | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 763 Likes: 50 old hand | old hand Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 763 Likes: 50 | I may try to make some acrylic parts now. headlight covers and custom taillights would be sweet. | | |
