After much dremeling, grinding, cutting, drilling,sanding and fabrication of new steel and aluminum brackets and shrouding I finally got my new Sheridan body installed. Very happy with the fit, finish and quality of Rogers parts. Now I just have to take it all apart again and paint it.

very nice! I really like the sheridan kit. Front end is really great.

Projectors in the turn signal well?

I've been to his (old) shop and got the grand tour. Top notch work and a lot of attention to detail.

Hey man, Looks great, since the last time I saw it, persistance pays off.
Take your time with the paint, and you'll have a nice finished product. What color are you going with?

How did you do the turn signals? I didn't think his fenders had the holes cut for the buckets. Is there a trick to that?

Posted by: byndbad914 Jun 21 2009, 01:15 AM

you just cut holes for the buckets to slip into

That's the best looking body kit made for the 914... Nice job

Looks great. We should have a V8 get together some time this summer.

If you guys have a v8 get to gether, you should drive the Lyons to Estes loop. We used to live up there when I first put mine together. What a road! Put deer whistles up in the intake, they really work!

Now thats a nice upgrade damn that looks great. I like it in white but you need some color for the wheels

Query.

If I plan on permanently bonding one of these front ends onto my 914 does anyone have opinions on the best way and where I should trim my fenders to minimize cracking, delaminating, and best hide bonding lines?
