hi, I am a newbie in speedsters, I am from the philippines and there are a hanful of 356 enthusiasts here making parts really rare.. we are about to finish our build and the problem i am having now is how to import the windshield frame... would you guys know any supplier near oregon as my friend is from that area he can bring here in my country... and how much is the price range for it??

Not too far from Oregon---I'd suggest you contact Vintage Speedsters--click on the "makers" tab at the top of this page. They ship cars all over the world so I'm sure they could ship you the window parts you need.
Good luck with your project!
Mr. Jack,
thanks for your input... i appreciate it.. shippping though suprised me..it apprears to be more expensive than the parts itself... LOL
I had one issue with the V.S windshield mounting.I deamed it as lacking support.
I added 2 steel taperd pipes and welded them on to the dash steel frame in the cab after i had the glass and brass windshield frame in the correct place it slipped into the pipes perfectly. when I took it back off it paint that area and reassembled it.
No problems!!!
( Oh) But i used a Roadster assembly. but it seem to me its a wise improvement to help keep the winshield rock solid on the cab.
Shipping of a windshield is costly in the states too! Just crating one is easily $100+. Then the shipper takes the risk it isn't dropped in transit. Cary Hines was gracious enough a couple years ago to hand carry a few to Carlisle for customers (not even Beck owners). One even got raffled off. If in Philippines, call a large autoglass supplier - bet they can get you one.
