I recently was lucky enough to acquire one purely by accident. I went to a fella's house with a friend to pick up a 40 COE he had purchased and amongst all of the sellers "treasures" I spied this frame. Long story short, I managed to buy it for my 46 project. I have seen a couple before but very few and was wondering why they are seemingly so scarce.
Mine does need some repair (one hole drilled through the frame and extra holes added for the hinges need to be welded up) but I took a chance an offered him $150 for it and took it home. I don't know if that was good or bad, but it was worth it to me!

I have one of those windshields also. There was a question on here I think about a year ago on the aluminum windshield frames.
They are an early Aftermarket replacement that were available through JC. Whitney, back in the late 60's or early 70's.

I did find a couple steel ones that would have been usable but they also needed some work and the prices were nearly as much. I figure the aluminum one will add a little shine to the old gal anyway. I wondered if it was an aftermarket thing though as I have seen so few of them. Thanks for the info.
