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 thought it was Zambezi Green to begin with, until I checked the code. The paint was so faded. It turns out it is Willow Green (car built in Jan 72, 8th off the line in 72). It came to me with no fenders, looking for a happy home, which she has gotten. The Willow Green is starting to grow on me, though I had originally though of painting it gun metal grey metallic and calling it the "Ghost", or haze grey and getting a plate that says "UNDRWY", or india red (isn't that what a Porsche should be, after all?). I've never seen a fresh Willow Green before, but restoring the original color with modern paint might be kinda cool. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)
