SO...planning for my summer project, a rebuild of a 914, to make it look 'mean'.. complete tear down, paint, build back up with 7" and 9" flars, GT rockers, and the works, already got a 'normal' teener, want something different. But i was just curious, how do u attatch the fiberglass flares?


thanks

most guys screw em on , then trace to area to cut , then un screw em, then cut the steel and grind the bonding area, then screw em back on and glass them on outside and in, then remove screws and glass over screw holes.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) that's it in a nutshell ...

*don't* leave the mounting screws in there and glass over them, it *will* crack if you do that.

get some advice from a good bodyshop on what materials to use, especially the bonding agent between the flares and the bare metal.
there's a HUGE differences in quality ...
