Kevin,
Sounds pretty reasonable until I think about you out there enjoying this engine instead of me (insert smily emoticon). Ken, The video is taking more time than I thought it would. Editting, and shooting an introduction, making sure the thing makes sense to a novice etc. acox914, Off the top of my head...If I were taking on flare projects, which I may at some point, $2,000-3,000 for a 914 that is pretty clean to begin with...no huge mounts of filler etc. This would be to about the level of metal-finishing that Zach's is now, not perfect! Somewhere near perfection (any filler required would be about 1/32" in a few areas that are hard to reach, the rest shiny steel) would be in the $5,000-$6,000 range...all that to save a tiny bit of filler, seems silly doesn't it? A lot of variables such as previous damage, excessive undercoating, how far the car is to be flared etc. If a car had no paint inside and out, no previous damage etc. I could probably rough in flares for $1500, meaning more work would be needed to finish it, or filler ... up to 1/8" or so in a few places. This might be a good option for someone who buys the video, and wants to do the finish work, not the heavy stretching. Each 1/16" less thickness of filler takes lots of time! Just to be clear, I'm not interested in any filler or primer work. Not even sure I want to take on flare jobs, or if I will have the room, or time to do it. We'll see. Hi JP, Obviously I don't have a lick of sense! Thanks for your interest, John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
