Sandygold,
Which frames are you talking about, front opening frames, aft bulkhead or the side windows.
High tide in the Florida Keys might have some replacement windows but the original supplier is long gone. You could cover them with teak strips if they are on the inside of the cabin like Uncle Vic did. You can sand and fill with welding style bondo material,I can't think of the proper name for it off hand. A wire wheel with a bronze wheel has some results, then repaint with aluminum paint, so- so results. Or you can remove them and make frames out of fiberglass (see Capt Pat's boat building tips). Just can't find replacement frames anymore.
