I need ideas! Options

[mskinner]

So my 914 is in great shape except for the windshield frame is bent. This fact and the fact that buying a new windshield in the Kansas area is seemingly impossible. I am looking for ideas on removing the windshield frame and replacing it with some sort of faring or whatever you suggest. What has been done before? And what looks good? Any ideas would be a huge help. Thanks.

I agree that the frame should be repaired without cutting if possible.
The one trick to installing the glass is to make sure it sits deep enough, and centered, that the trim will go on correctly. The glass sits below the level of the frame.

I have seen one car that the owner cut the frame off flush with the cowl, then engineered a pin system the same as the 356 Speedster to be able to install the glass when required, or otherwise run with a Ginther windscreen. This was on a race car, that was never street driven: 9140430033
