WTB: 914/6 engine tins, ...where to get? Options

[naro914]

There was a group buy a couple years ago for 914/6 sheet metal and I know I bought a set. I THINK I used it on Papa Smurfs rebuild, but now with Huey's engine out, and seeing how crappy the metal is (and non-matching) I thought it might be nice to get new sheet metal.

I did a quick search, but didn't find anything...other than the AA's and PMS of the world...where/who else has them?

Thanks!!

Really? buddy of mine has fiberglass...one time out and they shattered and don't really fit well at all....he said he might want mine that don't match up well...better than his.

I really wish I could remember where we had a group buy years ago....the ones I got were perfect. Unfortunately, we had to hack them up a bit for Papa Smurf (to fit by the raised suspension point mounts and such). i had thought about just swapping them since both cars have their engines out, but I realized all the fitting we did for Papa which won't look good for Huey. Plus, I drilled a big hole on each side to run the twin plug wires through on those too...

I started thinking today....with all the intake stuff with the 3.2 engine, you really can't see much of the rear engine tins anyway - that's where it's a bit messed up. I may just keep what I have on Huey...sandblast them, maybe powder coat it and call it a day...
