Wish I could afford to get a 914 for myself, but I'll just have to let Zach's cool rub off on me. At least my ghia will be part 914 in the form of the engine, rear suspension, and transaxle.

Andrew,
A palm nailer is about $100 at Home Depot. If you have a lot of stretching to do (like Zach's) it is the best $100 you will ever spend. I did Zach's rear flares mostly by hand, the fronts mostly with the palm nailer. Probably would have saved me about 25 hours on the rears. You might try turning your air hammer into a planishing hammer to speed up all of the hammer and dolly work, but it is a tricky thing to build and use. Hi Kim, Thanks! Hi Craig, Wow! thanks but I'm afraid it would take too much time away from my lifetime project...the Ghia. I would get all carried away flaring the 914, put the 2.6 in it and never finish my Ghia! Thanks again for a very kind and generous offer. Besides Carla would roll her eyes if I brought it in the yard. She has put up with my obsession so far. Don't want to rock the boat unnecessarily.
