I don't wanna see any pictures of you eatin Hershey Bars in that purty thang wink.gif

Turned out really nice mike. is that a porsche color?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Jul 7 2005, 09:33 PM

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. wacko.gif

Posted by: bondo Jul 7 2005, 09:39 PM

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

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 7 2005, 09:51 PM

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 mueba.gif

Posted by: maxwelj Jul 7 2005, 09:56 PM

Do you have a diagram or description of what you told them on the flares? Those look awesome!

Posted by: bondo Jul 7 2005, 10:04 PM

Wow, I didn't realize they did the flares. Nice work!

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 7 2005, 10:08 PM

The flares were a bitch. The best guy got them right hte third time before the paint. wub.gif 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.

Yup, you got it. Except I think that we also cut the lower part a little, too.

Posted by: neo914-6 Jul 7 2005, 10:35 PM

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.

Actually the 2.7 is in it. When I put the bumpers and rockers on it it will look more grounded.

Fue mil setecientos mas o menos con IVA. wink.gif Para pintura solomente esta ochocientos cinquenta.

Posted by: skline Jul 8 2005, 08:35 PM

So he wanted 1700 to do the car but what you said translates to "For painting single this eight hundred cinquenta" Is that right?

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 8 2005, 08:42 PM

It is only $850 more or less if you want paint.

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.
