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 |

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.

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) |
