I am installing a Chalon kit on my '72 914. I have some questions that are inadequately addressed in the kit literature. Does anyone have experience putting the fenders on? I have cut the metal and prepped the surfaces. I need to know how much of the chalon fiberglass channel to remove before mounting.
Thnx |

"Skline please pick up the white courtesy phone for an important message"
You wanna get in touch with club member Scott Kline aka skline. I'll PM him and let him know to reply. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE OF SHALOM Skline is the Guru of the Shalom.....aka Chalon in english. Scott has been the Guru around hear since SLITS was ousted in a bloody coup two years ago. SLITS has been in exile somewhere in the TORA BORA region of Big Bear lake recruiting some of the local elves to try and retake the Shalom region of Costa Mesa. Developing......... |

I think it can be done nicely, as with any project where pride, professionalism, and attention to detail are the watchwords. Besides, this car had sat in a garage in North Texas, accumulating no rust for almost 25 years. By the time I got it, it already had its fenders removed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I got the Chalon kit off a guy in South Texas who never got around to doing anything with it and thereyougo...
Besides when my 6-cyl engine gets back from the machine shop and is mated to my race built 911 tansaxle w/ 912 half-shafts, it sure can't be sporting the oh-so-stylish OEM body. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

Chalon kits were, and are still, some of the nicest body kits around (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Welcome to the board and get a digital camera !

Lowered drag coefficient, right? Really helps out around 100+mph maybe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I may go slant front and widen the rear. |

By the way, Stirlingr, welcome to the 914club (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
We are not all assholes here, well I am, but that's not important. I think our notable Chalons were purchased with the body already done by the previous owner. Someone will pipe up sooner or later. |

But Scotts strategic alliance with the mighty Aaron has them ploting somewhere in the Corona region of Riverside. They actually plan to capture some reported 914 exiles and Shalom them before searching for the almighty Slits. Scott Kline is your man - I am sure he will chime in as his plan is to Chalon the world. M |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) , Chalon!
Did mine 20+ years ago so don't remember much after the expoxy... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Test fit, use ample bonding agent, and make sure you take care of ALL the rust before you install the fenders... |

Good advice. I'd like to, but I don't know how much to cut off the Chalon fender for mounting. Do you cut off the whole channel, just the bottom...? If someone will tell me how to attach pictures, I'll show what I'm talking about. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)

SirAndy, do you mean by cutting the fenders and putting on goofy looking bowls where the stock fenders were? I cant imagine why someone would want to do that. Andrew, I see you got your car painted. It looks cool. Now I can proceed to paint mine white and not worry about people mistaking it for yours. Mine would be the one in front at the track anyway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Dont listen to what these guys say about the Chalon, everyone has their own idea of the car they want and mine was the Chalon. I wanted one from the first time I saw one back in the 80's. I replied to your email, I will answer any questions you may have about the installation of the kit and mods you can do to make it more unique. Howard, Slits and many of us really are Assholes, it's why we are here, birds of a feather Flock together. |
