CW!
Did you pull the fenders yourself?
Now you can get back to my dash.
Posted by: MW 914 Jul 7 2005, 09:24 PM
Looks awesome Mike....how about the new address?
Posted by: JB 914 Jul 7 2005, 09:25 PM
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?
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.
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?
Posted by: rick 918-S Jul 7 2005, 09:41 PM
Posted by: Steve Jul 7 2005, 09:47 PM
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
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. 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.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jul 8 2005, 08:06 AM
Looks great Mike! SKlines car is painted something similar to that. Porsche Stone Gray. Very nice understated color on a 914.
Posted by: tat2dphreak Jul 8 2005, 08:27 AM

Beautiful Mike. Can't wait to see it in person one day.

Shore is purdy
Posted by: aircooledboy Jul 8 2005, 12:24 PM
Dood,
You gotta preface pictures like that with a warning. Something like "WARNING! KLEENEX MAY BE REQUIRED!!
Looks amazing. The rear flares are perfect. 
Posted by: CptTripps Jul 8 2005, 12:37 PM
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!

Actually the 2.7 is in it. When I put the bumpers and rockers on it it will look more grounded.
Posted by: Lyressa Roberts Jul 8 2005, 01:14 PM
Rockin' Ride, Dude!!! I wish my paint job looked that nice!!!
Posted by: MattR Jul 8 2005, 01:51 PM
Wow mike, that paint's almost as shiney as your dome!
Nice car, it looks really good.
Posted by: skline Jul 8 2005, 01:55 PM
So is it all together now Mike? Will I get to see you drive it on Sunday? We are still on for Sunday right?
Posted by: Travis Neff Jul 8 2005, 03:16 PM
Looks killer! I like the color, I guess I am biased.
Posted by: SpecialK Jul 8 2005, 05:03 PM
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?
Posted by: mack914 Jul 8 2005, 06:39 PM

Fue mil setecientos mas o menos con IVA.
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.
Posted by: Markeydoo Jul 8 2005, 08:49 PM
Man that's purdy
Posted by: MW 914 Jul 8 2005, 10:53 PM
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.

$950, if you include your "tip" to the local law enforcement tequila fund.
