Fun in Mexico part 2. Hey, did you know that you can get fined by any asshole street cop that thinks your car looks real nice sitting on that Uhaul trailer? I fianlly got extorted by a cop. $100 as it was all that I had in a single bill...pinche cavrone! Ah well, my car is awsome!
Por supuesta. Claro.
OK. We know you're alive now.

Your reflection looks happy! Great looking ride.....
Way nice Mike. I would love to see it. I am bummed that you're leaving the area. Would like to get my car done sometime in the sorta near future.
Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!
Alright! That looks VERY nice.
M
Schweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!
It came out really nice.... love the color!
Lisa
NICE
CW!
Did you pull the fenders yourself?
Now you can get back to my dash.
Looks awesome Mike....how about the new address?
I don't wanna see any pictures of you eatin Hershey Bars in that purty thang
Turned out really nice mike. is that a porsche color?
That car looks great. As a matter of fact, it looks way too nice to be schlepping around the salt strewn streets of Pa. So here's what I will do for ya. Drop the car off at my place and I will keep it nice for ya here in Ca. and you can come back and pick it up when you finish Med School. I have a garage and everything.
Cheers, Elliot
Damn, now I want flares again.
Shiny! I hope my spray-it-yourself paint job comes out half that nice. What was the "fine" for?
Beautiful Mike!!!
What color is that?
I'm color blind...
Steve
Thank you, thank you. The fenders were made by cutting and welding (they did it, I showed them how). The color is Graphite metallic (Crysler color). The $100 fine was because my car said Porsche, and looked awsome, and I was a gringo, and oh ya he knew that the Uhaul trailer was not supposed to be in Mexico. No, Elliot, but thanks. MW914, when I get going.....
Oh ya
Do you have a diagram or description of what you told them on the flares? Those look awesome!
Wow, I didn't realize they did the flares. Nice work!
The flares were a bitch. The best guy got them right hte third time before the paint. Man I love them.
Her is one way... But I had them cut a circle about 2" in from the lip and then cut outward along the first cut to spread it, then add metal. Hard to visualise, but I cant find the pic. I'll keep looking.

found it! Similar to this.

As I understand the flares...
Attached image(s)
Yup, you got it. Except I think that we also cut the lower part a little, too.
MikeP's flares had cuts and pieces welded in. The wheel opening wasn't as pulled out as much as the top however. I think Mueller did this to one of his previous 914's. Were the welds ground down on the inside? In anycase, they look nice.

AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!! It's the return of Frankenfender!!!!
Looks great Mike! SKlines car is painted something similar to that. Porsche Stone Gray. Very nice understated color on a 914.
NICE man, VERY nice!!
I really like the flares, subtle, but great!
boy Mike,
the whole job is BEAUTIFUL...
nice
very nice.
brant
Better bubble wrap that thing for the trip East
Beautiful Mike. Can't wait to see it in person one day.
Shore is purdy
Dood,
You gotta preface pictures like that with a warning. Something like "WARNING! KLEENEX MAY BE REQUIRED!!
Looks amazing. The rear flares are perfect.
VERY well done man...Looks great.
Now get an engine in that pig so it doesn't look like it's on it's tippie-toes!

Rockin' Ride, Dude!!! I wish my paint job looked that nice!!!
Wow mike, that paint's almost as shiney as your dome!
Nice car, it looks really good.
So is it all together now Mike? Will I get to see you drive it on Sunday? We are still on for Sunday right?
Looks killer! I like the color, I guess I am biased.
I've seen something similar to the "flare method" you described, and it happened to end up my favorite color.....Arena Red Metallic.

Looks nice dude, not as nice as GREEN but nice nonetheless. AND, I envy your engine when some ricer buzzes me. Did they get the interior pieces done like you wanted?

So he wanted 1700 to do the car but what you said translates to "For painting single this eight hundred cinquenta" Is that right?
It is only $850 more or less if you want paint.
Man that's purdy
Again.....I am not a big phan of phlairs, but those are PHAT!
I hope to someday take the plunge and put in an engine that might justify phlaired phenders.
