I'm looking for a 914 owner who wants large steel flares on the rear of their car, who hopefully has the wheels and tires already, is able to get their car to Seattle in the next month or so, and who can weld or get welding done when the shaping is finished. I want to build a pair that look like the attached picture, for my next DIY video.
When I'm done they will need finish body work and welding...they will be tack-welded to the car only...need a car without a lot of filler in the area that the flares attach. I will charge $800 (slightly less if the panels are bare metal inside and out) which is a lot less than my shop rate. Another $200 to flare the rockers to match. A few more pictures here: http://allshops.org/cgi-bin/community/comm...d=9980138836765 Please contact me if interested. Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com ghiafab@msn.com Attached image(s)

CWalters, The flares do look a little like a 944 flare, but the shoulder is softer...I just built it by eye..did not have a design in mind when I started.
Dino, I don't want to cause any marriage problems! You should come over and I'll show you how easy this stuff can be. Craig, I think I have a candidate already, besides you already have massive flares...greedy bastard..what bumper? ....just kidding. I'll let you know if things change. No plans at the moment for front flares. Just doing this for the next video. Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com |

Andrew,
There are two people ahead of you interested in them and one of them is Brad. I still need the fronts until I find and pound out some new metal fenders so I'm hanging onto them for now...Ironically I may eventually replace all the f/g parts on this car.

John,
Shouldn't be a problem, it's a father and son transport team and the car weighs less than 1500 lbs. If it is a problem let me know and I will call my brother-in-law, Dan to help... |
